It's not said to be too warm up north at the moment (~8°) and there's very little wind ('calm' with a 6km/h gust recorded). But there's nothing to be seen on WebScorer (WS) yet. Aha, WS is active now and it shouldn't be too long to wait to see some times recorded at the finish line; all starters will be out on the course. Say, fifteen minutes before we see that Matt Connan and Sophia have returned? That would be good. The clock's been running for about 45min. Sean Ralph and Greg Rossiter would be expected to set a good time, starting at 25min. Sean has 'previous' as a solo rider on both road- and TT bikes and as one of a pair (road-bike); with a course record to go with his solo road-bike ride. Greg has two previous rides as one of a pair.

Yes, Matthew and Sophia are back with a time of 56:36—a Mixed-pair record for them. That's good to see.

Three more pairs are back. Melinda Evans is back, alone. Perhaps her partner was a DNS, hopefully there weren't problems out there. Sean and Greg have returned—to top the list with a 51:10, a bit short of the pairs record set last August by Matheos Venetis and Alec Vukovich (50:26) but PBs for both Sean and Greg as pairs riders. Matt and Sophia hang onto second spot. Ava Rodgers and Florence Erskine have established a Junior team course record

BOM's still saying it's pretty cool (11°) but fairly calm. Richard Williams is home but a few minutes short of his previous. There's a bunch of putative starters still there on the list but no more times for a while; no, one more, twelve unaccounted for. And David Equid's just told me that Stu Murray has returned—on foot after a flat tyre and a 6km walk. 1:03 looks like a good pace for a 6km walk with your bike and that includes the ride time! And the DNS list is confirmed. So, it's all done.
