Ladies vs. Men as H/C points reach a tie-break with 6 races to go…

21C, NW-12mph

We had 17 entries on our 12th race of the season, around the Abbotsley 11.2m course. Nic Pillinger was fastest with another fast sub-25 ride at 24:25…

… followed by Josh Ibbett and Anastasia Blower, well done to all on the podium.

 

It’s been a while since we had so many lady members attending the TT (Maybe a first), with 4 riders on the night and 8 riders overall to date this season totalling 33 entries – giving the men a run for their money this year. Ruth has led this year’s championship for several weeks now, but Simon W has been pushing and is now equal on points taking the current leader board to a tie break and with 4x PB’s and 10 entries each this year also – could not be any closer and with 6 races to go, it will be a sure ‘race’ to the finish for the top spot.

 

Contenders for the final podium position is between Shaun, Annabel, Francis & Matt, so again the Ladies challenging the Men for every position/point.

Congratulations to all riders achieving PB’s on the night, some very impressive riding at all levels of the club…

  • Josh Ibbett with 25:43 beating his previous best by 32s
  • Anastasia Blower with 25:57 beating her previous best by 3s and goes sub-26 for the first time and matching Shaun at 25:57!
  • Simon Winter with 32:46 beating his previous best by 19s, puts him now in firm contention with Ruth
  • Gillian Peck with 34:07 beating her previous best by 1min/24s and continuing to learn the course.
  • Annabel Thompson with 34:28 beating her previous best by 1min/7s

 

We welcomed three guest riders tonight, Josh Ibbett (PB), Karl Hiner and Mark Halliday. Also welcome to Nick Green a new SNCC member and First Time around the course with a 30:09, so sub-30 already in sight.

 

Finally, and could not resist a “WhoDunnit”…. Someone left half a cup of coffee in the passenger footwell of Mandy’s car (and it was not Mandy), but luckily she spotted it before accelerating off 😊 … come on own up ?!?!

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 17 riders and 12 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 Gillian Peck again for taking the maximum points on offer tonight.
