Congratulations Michael Guerin and Chris Thompson, together with their riding partners Mark Burke and Lee Bolden who add their names to the trophies once again. Congratulations Mop and Troy - this is the first time that we've actually had a non-veteran team post the fastest time of the day; it's certainly not the first time that teams where neither rider is veteran age have ridden. But it's the first time we can recall having had a mother-daughter combination riding together. This fact has nothing to do with the previous one. We also had six father-son teams. We also had a couple of MTBs out there and Bill Darby and Cathi Dixon would have deserved a prize for sartorial splendour if they hadn't had the competition from Chris Roberts in his penguin suit - apart from the statement of elegance we just had to acknowledge the visual pun (Chris partnered NickyA).

A number of teams did in fact post Team-Bests: Mop & Troy; MichaelG & Mark Burke; Fred & Chris Pearce; Nick Foster & Brian Farrelly; Owen Jones & Andrew Dawson and Claire McLean & Paul Lamond wherin each rider posted a PB. Chris Thompson & Lee Bolden also posted a Team-Best although, obviously, Chris' time wasn't a PB (he holds the course record with Ben King)

We only had one DNS and that possibly says something about the way riders regard this event. Or the fact that the weather was particularly good. Anyway it was a great prologue to a new season.

Susie was out signing the course before breakfast; the marshals were gathering as Karen and Natalie set up the registrations desk; Rudy had looked after the victualling. Pimmie was preparing to do duty again as the starter (he'd previously sourced some fine spot-prizes with the help of the folk at Cycle Buzz). Some larcenous low-life caused a bit of angst by stealing a stack of our traffic cones but we didn't let that get us down. Neilly was there to assist at the finish line; Susie helped there too; as did James, as usual, after his ride. And the marshals who did the excellent work on the corners: Steve McKiernan with Chris Tallentire; Joe Cox; Mark Taylor and Peter Fallon. Once again, we love you all!
