Thanks George

RichK

I know we didn't use this course last year, but a big set of traffic lights have now been installed at the bottom of the slip road up to the DC on this course rendering it unusable

RichK · Re: K33/10s results 29/7/2020 Thanks Gemma. I'm speechless!

Thanks Gemma. I'm speechless!

RichK

Shouting now...

Richard Kings not Richard Kent....

RichK

Thanks Simon.

I'm timekeeping (can't ride yet & gives Martin a chance to) but forgot that I'll have to work out the best PB...

Must remember to drop a laptop in to the car. That'll make it easier.

RichK

Thanks Martin. I've edited accordingly.

RichK

Results as follows...

Martin McGowan 53:32
Ian Taylor 52:51
Gemma Johnson 56:28
Mark Roberts 51:58
Keith Adcock 55:00
Brian Jones (Horsham CC) DNF (off course)

Next up is a K34/25 on May 11th & Weds eves start straight after on May 15th with K34/10d

RichK

Sorry Dave but the only water involved is when it falls out of the sky.

RichK

Next up on Saturday 13th April is my favourite TT course of the year - K32/20 :) If I could only ride one course, this would be it. If you haven't previously ridden the course you're advised to acquaint yourself with the route as, although it's relatively simple, many have a missed a turning at some...

RichK

Thanks all. It's something that is fixable (even if that's just time) but it's unfortunate that I've a hiatus in timetrialling (too energetic) and my signalling on the SVR (medication is of the 'do not operate heavy machinery' variety).

RichK

Martin

Due to (another) medical issue, I'm not going to be doing any timetrialling for the foreseeable future. However, that does make me available for more timekeeping, which I'm more than happy to do as it will keep me in with things. IIRC you've got my number so just let me know...

Well done Roger, obviously in great form. Shame about the clash with football which I suspect kept the numbers down, the roads were certainly quiet.

Give me this any day over the time the M5 South was diverted down the A422...

RichK

Also watch out for roadworks on A441 in Cookhill - might mean a detour to get there

RichK

Thanks Martin. Was good to get back on a bike again

Despite my poor time (fully expected) it was a really good evening. Poor time is down to lack of riding over winter & anti-peds meds

Thanks both. That was hard going. Hope I manage better on Saturday

RichK

Good stuff from both of you.

Three of us ventured out for Redditch R&P club TT on K33/50R on Sunday morning. The start was delayed slightly due to there being an open 25 on the same course! Fortunately, that wasn't a full field & the last rider was off just after 9:00. I trailed in last with a 02:33:16 after going the wrong way...

RichK

Thanks all. The marshalls were very much appreciated indicating the start of the dodgyest spots. I wouldn't have been surprised if somebody had come off. The road surface was truly horrid in several places. I particularly noticed the A422 is now very rough which will affect 25 times in a few weeks. ...

RichK

Do you need to have done the course before to get a handicap? If you've not ridden the course before you'll get a base line handicap. However, there's an additional proviso that your final (after handicap) time can't be below the base. So for this course, ladies get a base handicap of 12 mins 30 se...

RichK

Bromsgrove have cancelled their TT on K32 tomorrow due to "loose gravel" on course. Is anybody out that way before next week to check it over?

RichK

Thanks all.

Pleased we 'just about' managed to miss the worst of the weather too.

Good luck to all on Friday.

RichK

Thanks all. Good night for it. Don't think I did a PB but wasn't far off & it's rekindled a spark as my last couple of TT were distinctly lacklustre to the point of contemplating selling the Stealth

but that's gone today.

RichK

Thanks to Ian & Andy yesterday. Hope Ian didnt find timekeeping too onerous.

It was a horrible day & I would have willingly given up timetrialling on the way back.

RichK

Keith

Looks like they're both due to have gone by Sunday (here's hoping)

A very pleasant & sunny afternoon saw just five rides. Scores on the doors as follows: Mark Roberts 53:01 Ian Taylor 53:22 Phil Gameson 55:40 Richard Kings 59:48 Gemma Johnson 1:04:58 Big thanks to Ed for doing the timekeeping. I think everybody seemed pleased with their performance. Martin - I have...

RichK

That's rotten luck Toby. I hope the surgery goes well & you get sorted.

Four of us for Worcs StJ on K34/25 on Sunday morning in conditions as good as you're going to get.

Simon D 1:01:48
Paddy A 1:02:35
Ian T 1:08:36
me 1:15:43

I was definitely making up the numbers doing a 'test run' to decide if I'm back up to entering the LMTT before it closes tomorrow

RichK

Thanks Andy & Martin

They're showing is finishing today so hopefully will be gone

RichK

Hi Martin

I'll do timekeeping at a couple of the K36/4.5 events.

RichK

Can't make tomorrow but hope to be there next week

RichK

Tim

CTT site says 4th April

RichK

Chris

I'd happily second Martin as TT sec if he's willing to take on the role. I'm also happy to provide him with whatever backup & assistance I can.

Richard

RichK

Well done Ian.

Was a good year for me, just a pity about the couple of late on cancellations. Can't wait for next season.

RichK

Well done all, some good times there

RichK

Thanks Dave & Chris.

At least the wind was blowing the "right" way

RichK

Thanks Martin

Thanks Chris, Dave & Laurence.

Had a very good night, apart from getting there... It really is the highlight of the year

RichK

Super. Well done all. Sounds like a really good event.

RichK

Good stuff from all

RichK

Thanks to Chris, Helen & Martin.

Really wasn't feeling like it before but had a good ride.. Another decent turn out too.

RichK

That's brilliant. Well done Anne.

RichK

Thanks for timing again yesterday Martin.

Was quite a good evening in the end. Was expecting torrential rain (at some point) but it never came. Had chucked it down at home though

RichK

Oversubscribed event! Wow. I think the TT the following day on K11/10T is similarly popular.

Have a good one. Just a pity I can't make it.
