Hi All
The 13th May was the second HCC event of the year. An open CTT and VTTA 10 mile TT on the T105 from Sedgefield to 2nd Wynyard Round about and back. There was 60 entrants , who were greeted by a cold and damp morning. Keith Murray (DRAG2ZERO) was the fastest man on the day with a 20:06 , which also gave him the best standard of +6:07. For the Hartlepool CC riders, it was a day of mixed fortunes. Richard Grant had a good sub 25 minute ride,Trevor Jones shipped a chain and it jammed so that was an end of his ride,Andrew Wilson punctured, Phil Wright should have stayed in bed wheras Paul Thirling was the quickest HCC rider with a 21:44. the remaining 5 HCC riders who had entered the event sent their apologies – hope they are all feeling better soon. Thanks go to the organiser Paul Garstang, Start Sheet developer John , catering crew Ruth and Janet, the timekeepers Phil and David, Pusher Off Peter, number catcher John and the Marshalls at the round abouts and turn offs.
