The unsettled weather last week certainly affected club members riding schedules.
The first club 10m TT event on the new T107 course was due to be held last Thursday but after looking at the forecast the committee made a last minute decision to cancel the event on safety grounds, as it turned out the conditions were perfect!! Better luck this week.
The weather put paid to all of the racing section of the club competing this weekend

Thanks to John Parsons for supplying some Club 10m TT results from the 50s, It would be interesting to know what some of our senior members think of the times posted back then with the bikes, equipment to modern day times with carbon bikes and lycra.
It was great for me personally to see my dad John Grant and my Aunty Barbara and Uncle Bob on the results sheets

Andrew Wilson bravely rode the medium route of around 50 miles in horrendous conditions, rain from the start that turned into a blizzard and then horrendous whiteout conditions over the top of the Bollihope. The conditions made riders abandoned bikes at feeds zones and many needed help to get down from the Bollihope. Andrew dug deep and rode in survival mode over the Bollihope and back to the finish, he certainly earned a glass of red or two after a hot bath to thaw out.
Well done Andrew
Sunday club ride
