This evening was our last of 4 consecutive races on K36/4.5 course. The heavy rain earlier in afternoon eased off & had stopped altogether by the time we started. Although the roads were still a bit damp it was probably the warmest conditions on this course this year & very little breeze.

Well done all & thanks to Bal for coming along to marshall.

Thanks to Martin for organising and to Bal for excellent marshalling.

Yes big thanks to Martin and Bal.
Actually not bad conditions after ditching the inflatable boat and wet suite in Brum

Well done to everyone that made it. After fighting my way home through the storm, I decided it was safest not to contribute to the traffic on the roads!

Had Dave been out celebrating his 50 time?

How the mighty are fallen eh George. Got to say that I tried v hard but it was a sound beating on the night. Not using TT bike was a factor but neither were any others. What a ride by Jon Hunt, on a strictly non aero bike! Respect.

To be fair my bike is a strictly aero non aero bike

Good night for Ian Taylor coming home with an 11 second PB in dodgy conditions. John Hunt just pipped on handicap but also a PB.
