Results
We had a modest start list of five riders on a foggy morning - though by the time we started, the fog was lifting and revealed a lovely warm sunny day. Dick realised that last time we'd used the Three Locks for the hill climb, he'd set the course too short. This year, we raced to the Great Brickhill sign. This means that both before an after the main climb, there are pretty flat sections. Personally, I found the easier section to the finish quite difficult to keep speed up. What little speed I had, that is!
Anyway congratulations to Jamie for the win! I note that the riders' finish order broadly corresponded to their age!

The Chronos RT Politburo had offered to buy us all breakfast after the event, and with that generous offer, we all retired to the Three Locks pub, which offers really rather good breakfasts from 9:00 to 11:30. We sat in the sun and enjoyed coffee, eggs and so forth. Many thanks to the Chronos boys!
As usual, thanks to Dick Selley for timekeeping and signage, the Ian and Rob for admin stuff, and Steph for start timekeeping.
