We had sunny but quite cool conditions, but the big hassle was the stiff headwind for the return leg. Congratulations to Richard for the win, and to Tim who was a close second (and first vet on standard). Another fine turnout of 26 riders tonight!

Here's the report from Bryan Scarborough, the master of the mysterious handicapping system:

An excellent turnout on a bright, clear sunny but cold and windy evening. Our 26 riders included 10 NBRC 1st claim members, 4 2nd claim members and a joining member, which has to be a record in recent times!!

Handicap Results:

1.    Nathan Gallavan      21.15 (PB)

2.    Richard Golding        21.20

3.    Andy Wickham          21.39

We had 10 riders new to this course and therefore unable to receive a handicap time. Excellent rides by many of them including an outstanding ride by Tim Bailey who missed First place by 3 seconds.

Well done everyone!
