What a fantastic birthday boy ride by Ollie Chapman on his newly built up bike, somewhat lighter than his solid road bike that has clearly built up his strength on his training rides. His time include an enforced stop in traffic which also resulted in his chain coming off, so room for further improvement! With rain pouring down as I left Hastings it was a surprise that several had ridden out and we had a field of 10 riders. The rain had stopped and some of the roads even partly dry for the event, although there was still a hint of rain in the air. Barny also went a fair bit quicker, as can be the case in damp conditions after rain. Trevor was also quicker but should really have been docked over a minute for reporting late to the start, as would happen in an open event under CTT regs - the same regs that apply to club TTs so I should really have placed Stuart ahead of Trevor ……..Club TTs - This Wednesday we are on the Ninfield circuit for last time before the H-R-H classics
The Ninfield sign on (1830) and any car parking is in Downs View (TN33 9JF) off Church Lane which runs past the cricket pitch next to the Kings Arms/Head in Ninfield by the mini roundabout.
