Hello all,

Again we got the weather right which meant once again we could leave the umbrellers in the boot of the cars together

with the waterproofs.

Many congratulations to Tony for winning tonights event with a stunning ride which produced a further 24 sec improvement

on his PB.

Other improvments made were as follows,

Lindz Barral, Im18sec.

Ed Page, 1min.

Alan Lawson, 29sec.

Geoff Perry, 12sec.

Paul Owen, 4sec.

Well done all of you.

Rob was pleased with his performance and second spot in tonight event.

No punctures and no acrobatics to entertain the assembled and I must say, much dissapointed crowd. Sad that!

I should tell you all that Rob lent his spare front wheel to Simon and with it went the much dreaded "Saunders 2007"

super bug for which, there is no known cure. Yep, you've all guessed it, Simon managed to get a thorn in his rear tub!

Simon, a word of advice is called for here. Didn’t you notice that striking similarity between Rob and the "Grim Reaper"

Those hollow sinister dark glasses, the stoop, those long cold skelitor fingers gripping that wheel that he thrust it into

your eagger hand. Didn't you feel that icy chill?

Picture if you will that scene in "Treasure Island" when the blind begger pushed the black spot into the innocent and

youthfull Jim Hawkins hand….just like him, from that moment on you were trapped…there's more you should have noticed

The absence of bird song, the constant disturbance of the dust on the car park floor around Rob's feet. All the signs were

there for you to see….but you do need to stop, look & listen and be aware. Yep, that's it ..just like a level crossing!

Once again, many thanks to Mary and Nell for both timing you away, Bryan for pushing off, Pete money steward.

Gilbert for checking the result sheet and the rest of you for taking part.

Next week we are back on the super quick F5c/10 course. First rider off at 19.00hrs. This event will also have the added

attraction of a handicap award. The winner of which will be awarded "The Hale Trophy"

Keep smiling…Tony.(just what's he on anyway) F
