H&StL CC’s Wednesday evening Ninfield Oak TT 18 May

Ivan is going well on his fixie
 Yesterday afternoon was rather grim and grey , with some bright spells and rain.  Nine riders turned up to sign on for the first event of the year at Ninfield despite the heavy sky.  Stuart had been round the circuit putting up warning signs and reported that short term traffic lights were in place between the public entrance to Herstmonceux Castle and the Lamb Wartling.  Since we had plenty of timekeepers and help to hand we decided to have a warm up run before starting a short course the other side of the lights.  The first part of the new Pevensey 10 course to the Lamb on the Marsh and up to the usual finish at the Ninfield village sign still made for a good mid week work out.  Times were:

Business as usual for Pete T
Peter Tadros (In Gear)     18.26

Ivan Johnson                     21.49

Jon Molton                        22.17

Neil Smith                           23.14

Gareth Purves                    23.36

Simon Grogan                   24.17

Greg Blackwell                  25.18

Chris Parker                       26.32

Keri Purves                         27.07


We made it to the Red Lion Hooe for drinks and cheesy chips before the rain started again.  The Wednesday Wheelers were not so lucky and arrived shortly after us looking rather damp.

 The road works and lights were due to completed today and the lights gone so all should be OK for next week.  Next week I will confirm all is back to normal and send round a table of times from last year.
