Ninfield times for Wednesday 24 July

Possible PB For Dave?

What promised to be another fast evening for the Ninfield circuit turned out well, but not as well as last week. In a field of 14 riders there were 5 PBs, 7 had gone quicker this year, Club Chairman Peter Campany has gone quicker in previous years and Malcolm's extended run of woe continued with a mechanical DNF despite wearing the number 23 when setting off at 13.

Stuart Hodd (35:20) won the event with Simon Newell (35:48) coming second with another PB after last week's and many years of riding the circuit. You do not have to be in the flush of youth to keep getting better!

Tim Knocks Almost Two Minutes Off His Time!

Trevor Deeble (35:55 PB) was back from following the Tour de France to take third place ahead of juniors Joe Kingsman (36:12 PB) and Joe Jenner (37:16) in fourth and fifth places.

Sixteen year old Tim Conneally (44:08 PB) had a great ride coming in almost two minutes quicker than last week.

The fastest time was a private time trial by In Gear's Barney Willard (34:12) who was 33 seconds off his PB set last week which suggests the evening was not as fast as last week despite the 5 PBs.

See the attached table of times. Dave Connor is marked as a PB but I do not have times for more than three years back readily to hand so it may not be, but as with Simon you do not have to be a youngster to keep going quicker!

Make sure you turn up next Wednesday (31 July) for the last Ninfield circuit of the year and see if it is going to be another evening with a good number of PBs.  The post event gatherings at the Red Lion, Hooe, have also been rather good these last two weeks
