3 PB’s at the halfway point with Ruth Leading the H/C competition…

23C, SE-7mph

We had 12 entries on our 9th race of the season, around the Abbotsley 11.2m course. Simon Elkington was fastest with a 25:37…

… followed by Anastasia Blower and Shaun Jarvis with only 1 second between them, well done to all on the podium.

Three H/C PB’s were set on the evening, so congratulations again to Simon Winter for back to back PBs reducing his previous best by a massive 66s with a 33:06. Also, Ruth Chamberlain took her fourth PB of the season reducing her previous best by a massive 51s and Francis Lammyman gets her first PB of the season reducing hers also by a massive 43s and puts her third all-time on the Women’s lap time chart around the Abbotsley TT course - Well done to both.

TT#9 Results – 23 June…

Handicap Trophy - 2022

The Handicap Trophy points are awarded for the number of riders on the night less Guests and First Time Members. So tonight 12 riders and 10 points on offer. A Handicap Time of 25 minutes or less means that you have either matched your PB or improved on it. A Handicap Time greater than 25 minutes shows how much you are off your PB.

To be in contention to win the 2022 Handicap Trophy you need to ride as close to your PB as possible or set some new PB’s over the next few months.

Congratulations to Simon Winter for taking the maximum points on offer tonight.

Handicap Trophy – Running Total

We are now at the halfway point with 9 races completed with 9 remaining before the end of the 2022 season, with Ruth Chamberlain still leading the h/c table, Simon Winter moves up to second position and Francis Lammyman moving up to third, so all changes again at the top of the leader board. Only 8 points between first and second position at the halfway stage on the H/C competition.

Every second and every point counts… Good Luck for the second half of the season!
