Congratulations to Gareth just edging John Rice. Disappointment for Steve Morton on his first outing making a wrong turning. We've all done it. A beautiful evening for racing and only the lightest of winds. In fact had I not been timing I might have been tempted.......... to go down to the Hollybush for a pint of Brakspear in the garden.

Why would you want to spend £3 on a pint relaxing in a beer garden on a beautiful evening when you can spend it putting yourself through 35-ish minutes of sheer pain?!
Pleased with my big PB which shows how tentative I must have been in my April début (though it didn't feel that way then).

Nice one Richard! You enjoyed it really

Yes it brings out the masochistic streak in me I think

Gareth grabbed top spot (courtesy of an old slow time on this course) with Richard getting one short of max points reflecting big pb.

Hi, was my pb noted for the points. I'd previously done 38.13.

/bump

Neil,
I have you down as having done a 36-11 in 2011 which is driving the handicap. If this is wrong please let me know and I can change. Best Simon

Thanks Simon,

Couldn't see the results for that day in the archived section but found post showing times so yep didn't do as good as i thought.

Hi Neil
Still a PB - take any time, best
Simon
