Porteus SMASHES Club Member Course RECORD...

Despite 9 PB’s this evening the accolades belong to Ed Porteus for breaking the long standing course record by a member by 8 seconds and taking it down to 24:45. A time under 25 minutes has eluded club members for the past 5 years and despite many excellent times in the low 25’s during this period Ed is the second club member to go sub 25 and well done once again on this performance.

Unlike the previous week, when the wind blew hard in your face for the first 3 miles to the golf club turn, this week the wind was behind  for the 20 riders with the opportunity to gain some time.

The gains from the first three miles however soon dissipated over the next three miles past the golf course and onto the top road with the wind not doing the riders any favours. After Tetworth hill the conditions moderated to allow a pick up in speed once again with the full benefit of the wind once again after the last left turn and the run to the finish. 

9 riders were able to take advantage of the conditions and posted PB’s and good to see the over 60 brigade – Leon at a mere 73 and Dave and Alistair (still with mudguards on) – all with PB’s . Well done to Sam for his first sub 30 minute time.

Lantern rouge was David Spoors and great to see David back with us after his heart surgery and he tells us that, for the moment, he is only allowed to work at seventy per cent of his heart rate.

Our thanks to John Brysden for stepping in to help with the timekeeping in Colin’s absence.

Handicap Trophy 

Ed picked up the maximum 18 points ( guests do not count) followed by Dave who has almost taken a full three minutes off his opening time of the season.

Chris Green took 32 seconds from his PB and the 16 points earned has taken him to within one point of the leader David Wilson.

 

The contest to be 2015 Handicap champion remains wide open and with 12 TT’s left this season it will be all about how many TT’s you can ride and achieving or being close to PBs on over the next 12 weeks.
