Time for a beer tonight!

Always a really tough one to get lots of points due to the large entry and llok what it took to get the 40 - a PB of some 17mins from Amarjit.

Thanks Richard - good spot, much appreciated - want to get it right. Fact that Richard had a negative handicap threw the calc out, have corrected and will republish before the day - will hang on in case anything further.

Thanks Richard - you did it in the same time as the standard handicap and therefore looked liked it was standard! Thanks you have a 1-30 handicap but CAN go below base time. Best Simon

The hill climb is the decider for the handicap trophy. This year the competition has again been closely fought and only as we go into the last race of the season has the field narrowed to two - Amarajit Sanghera and Simon Wheeler. Amarajit has 376 points and Simon 374. Both of their lowest current r...

With three races to go there are three favourites now, namely Martin, Simon W and Amarjit - with Amarjit having plenty of points to go for as dropping a '21' next time out.

A bit of subjectivity due to the classic array of machines but I have allowed 1-15 for anyone on retro - their handicap next week where they have not ridden the course will also be reduced by 1-15 so should even things out.

With just 5 races to go and the top 10 races only counting there is plenty to play for with several riders in with a shout.

Thanks to Dave & Simon.
