It was quite warm today - although there were some PBs the heat did take its toll. And it was a big field - it's obvious this is the 'business' end of the season. But it seems it's time to remind riders of the basic rules of TTing; again! The rules are on the website. But the big one is the one that states that a rider who is passed MUST back off at least 3 bike lengths: 'Once overtaken a rider must, if necessary drop back to avoid any overlap of draft zones. The overtaken rider may only then attempt to re-overtake. The overtaken rider may also move to the side if sufficient space is available to avoid overlap with safety given the requirement to occupy only the left hand edge of the carriageway.' Have a look at that section; refresh your memory. In no sense is it acceptable to jump onto a 'wheel' for even the briefest length of time; certainly not the two and a half laps observed by many of you today. And please note that other requirement: KEEP LEFT. Thanks today to our marshals who probably aged a tad given the conditions and some egregious riding they were forced to observe: the family of Peter Richards; John Neville who stood in as a proxy and gave up a ride on the tandem; Barry Murphy who travelled from almost as far North as the Bunbury contingent from the South. Big thanks to Jenny Holt who looked after registrations and then administered First Aid to crash victim Derek; similar thanks are due to Katie Watson who then ferried Derek to hospital. It was good to see that Katie is able to ride her own bike again but we didn't get a chance to find out how comfortably? Thanks of course to Stephen who did the starting and Vicky who relayed rider numbers to the timekeeper. And thanks to those riders who jumped in to help where necessary as soon as they had done their own rides.
