PICS FROM OUR MID WEEK EVENT

VTTA MID WEEK SERIES

Good news for a change, the number of riders this week was up to 9, and as one rider said "if we get another new rider next week we shall be into double figures". A new 'pusher off ' helped out, Martin Baldwin, Rossinton Wh. Thanks Martin willing helpers are hard to find. We also had a new rider, Linden Edwards, from Lincoln Wh and also a CTC member, a newcomer to time trialling, his time of 30:30 was a good time for a first event, as we all know it takes a while to get into TT mode and get used to riding higher gears, who knows what his times will be next year. Although the wind was strong there was a positive side, it was from behind on the long stretch from Sutton and most riders did their fastest rides of the year. Neil's magic wand worked well again but it must be weakening a bit because last man off, Daryl May got a little wet, it must have been a very small raincloud (or was it sweat from the other riders?), as none of the others were affected. Tony Fouldes' time of 27:21 was a very good time for someone who has not ridden regularly this year, shall we be looking for a battle between Tony and George Steers next year? RESULTS

Three Intrepid Mid Weekers

Here are three photos taken by Alan Jones' wife Jackie. Young Richard Baldwin Rossington Wh., Alan Jones & John Fitch. Today (Wednesday) the weather was fine but a stiff breeze was against us from Sutton to Mattersey. Fred Coupland was seen in the start area but disappeared, There have been some strange happenings in that area some years ago, strange people, all clothed head to foot in black, riding silently at intervals in the early morning mist along this stretch of road. Now back to reality, here are the results for week 6
