TT Incorporating CTT Midlands Women's Series 2007 Event 4 - 27
June 2007  We
experienced cool (if not cold!) conditions on a late-June evening for our 10 mile
time trial incorporating the 4th event of the Midlands Womens Series. Black clouds
threatened to give us a soaking but we fortunately all rode without a fresh downpour
and on only slightly damp roads. The event had been switched at short notice
to the K34/10D course to avoid roadworks near Salford Priors. This involved a
straightforward ride from Dunnington southwards through Harvington and Norton
to turn north of Evesham and retrace. The roads were very quiet and well-surfaced
although the road never seemed to be flat at any point! The winner with
a short 24 was Ruth Eyles of the host club followed by newcomer to the Series
and experienced time-triallist, Emily Ducker (Rugby RC) in 26.51. Close behind
Emily came a duo from the Kenilworth Whlrs, repeating their 3rd and 4th places
from Event 2, first Debbie Cooper with 27.00 and then Ailsa Curtis with 27.20.
 Comparing
rides to previous performances, the ride of the evening came once again from Beth
Crumpton (Redditch R&PCC) who was the only rider to improve on her PB. Beth sliced
10 seconds from her performance in the much faster Leamington event (on the K10)
and is now very close to her club's Schoolgirl 10 mile Record. Nobody else improved
on their best times although Sue Middup-Jones (Wyre Forest CRC) did well on a
hard course to be within a minute of her PB.
Once again three vets took
part and once again Debbie Sheridan (BRAT) led on standard, this time just 17
seconds slower than her standard. Thanks to the Beacon members who helped
out by putting up signs, marshalling, pushing-off and time-keeping on such a cold
evening. Thanks also to Hillers
Garden Centre for allowing us to use their car park for the event. Results
