CLUB 10- 8th MAY

After the first club 10 on April 17th had to be cancelled due to poor visibility, we finally got underway on Tuesday evening in cool overcast conditions.

1st Jeff Vernon 21.38
2nd John Moore 21.52
3rd Dave Baker 22.55

A great ride by Jeff although John Moore was fortunate not to crash when he pulled his foot out at Belgrave Island.

Handicap results next month.

Still on the subject of time trials, John Moore’s recent 1.07.45 in the West Cheshire 30 had Gordon Thompson checking club records, and the latest he could find date from 1994. See below

Have any more of these times been improved? Please let me know. Peter

FILL THIS SPACE !!

There must be many amusing stories/anecdotes in our club and perhaps some even suitable to print !! If you have any not too libellous please get typing and let me know to help fill this space !!! For instance, who was it that sold his club mate an orange for 50p when he got the knock on a particularly hard club run? We can change names to protect the guilty !!
