It was a nice sunny evening out at Snainton last Thursday, but the stiff SW breeze didn't drop as it had been forecast to, so it was a tough start up to the triangle and along the recently-chipped Penniston Lane.
We had a good turnout of 17 riders. Two of them – Suzzanne Thompson and Jasmine Townend – finished with Personal Best times, and so filled the top two spots in the handicap competition. Matilda Stringer was just off her own PB and was third. Remarkably, there was a tie for fourth place on handicap between Dave Schubert and Simon Walker, who is now finding form again after gimping himself in a triathlon.
On actual time, Daryl Maffey edged out Mel Blackford, despite riding a road bike rather than a TT bike. Simon Walker was third. The other notable ride of the night was Katy Cawthorn's: she finished the event despite coming off on the chippings. Nails.
Thanks to Paul Lane and Chris Harper, both of whom put in a second stint of volunteering, and also to YCC's Rich Cullen.
Our next event is the Hackness Hilly 10 on Thursday – sign on by 7 for a 7.15pm start, at Hackness Village Hall. There's a BBQ after the TT, with a free burger/sausage etc for RCC members. (£2 for non-members.) There will also be kids' coaching, led by Jay, and a sort of come-and-try-it off-road ride. (Departing Hackness Village Hall 6.15, I think.
I've got the two volunteers I need to run the Hackness TT, but am looking for a couple of volunteers for the TT at Malton the following Thursday (4th July).
Note that as well as our own events, there's an interclub event at Snainton on Tuesday run by YCC. RCC members are welcome at that, although I can't make that one.
