 Shropshire CCA 25 Mile TT D25/24R 1^st July

I made the midweek trip to Welshpool to take part in the Shropshire CCA event on the D25/24R course for my annual reminder of how not to pace a ride.  As predicted a quick first 10 miles was followed up by a grim 15 mile finish and a total time of 1:04:21 (average 23.31mph) to finish in 30^th place and 16^th veteran rider on the night.

Redditch Road and Path 10 mile TT CC 10^th July

Craig Hopkins travelled to the K33/10D course hoping to continue his recent run of good form and was unfortunate to get held up by traffic , which meant he was not able to challenge his previous PB but still put in a strong ride to finish in 23.49 (25.19 mph) to finish in 31^st place overall and 20^th veteran.

Beacon RCC 10 mile TT Road Bike only 11^th July

Three club riders travelled to the Beacon ride bike event on the K33/10S course and it was an excellent performance by all three who secured 1^st place in the combined team prize award for WFCRC – well  done everyone brilliant riding!

Fastest on the day was David Lloyd who finished with a time of 24:15 (average 24.74 mph) finishing in 8^th place overall and 4^th veteran on the day.  In the ladies event Kara Tranter was quickest in 26:06 (22.99 mph) to finish in 8^th place overall (3^rd senior) and was closely followed by Sue O’Shaughnessy in a time of 26:11 (average 22.92mph) to finish in 9^th place overall (4^th senior).
