Ninfield TT - 3/6

We were at Ninfield last night (3 June)  for the last of the early season TTs on the 14 mile circuit.  Please see the attached table of times.  Several were a few seconds off the best they had done in previous weeks but I made it 5 PBs and 2 SBs from the excellent field of 18 riders.  We had 4 first timers on the circuit and 7 riders had gone quicker in one of the two previous weeks.

 Pete Tadros (In Gear) was disappointed not to go sub 30 minutes for the third week on the trot so it must have not been an easier evening, which makes the PBs good times that can surely come down further when we are back on the course in six or so weeks.

 Trevor Deeble joined the sub 34 minute crew, will Alex Smith (PBC) also make it after a 34.30 on his first ride round the course?

 Stewart Buckland (38.53) and Neil Smith (39.09) both had PBs with Stewart now going 2-1 ahead on their head to heads on the Ninfield circuit this year!

New member Ross Mason (41.35) put in a good marker time.

 Ruth (37.08), one of our chain gang regulars from Eastbourne, put in a very nifty time on a road bike as you would expect from a roadie who now rides for PMR.

We also had a good crowd in the Red Lion afterwards with John Vidler hearing from Tom’s friend Mark Fairbrother (Rovers) on how to do the PBP (and LEL) on gears or fixed ………..  A very serious long distance Audaxer!

 Next week signing on is later at 19:00 sharpish for the Classic Hastings-Rye-Hastings TT for three weeks  (10, 17 and 24 June).
