TT#12 on Malton/Pickering course this Thursday – help needed

danjoyce

We're on the Malton/Pickering course this Thursday, starting at the later time of 7:30 to allow the commuter traffic to clear. Sign on by 7:15pm at the car park at the industrial estate on the A169 just north of the Kirby Misperton turnoff. Usual £4 to ride.

Please note: I'm looking for two people to help run this. One person to hold the watches, one person to hold up the riders at the start. Please let me know if you can spare an hour or so for the club.

Here's a list of upcoming events, along with volunteering, uh, opportunities.

Thanks to Jackie Hough and Paul Marr, I have enough volunteers for Thursday's TT on the Malton/Pickering course. Sign on before 7.15pm (it's a later start) at the industrial estate on the A169, just north of the Kirby Misperton turn off.

The first time we've been to the Malton/Pickering course this year, due to the roadworks. They've put down some more lovely chippings that really put a dent in your speed. Weather conditions weren't bad, though – it was warm, we missed the rain, and the swirling wind was mostly across rather than head or tail.

Well done to Suzzanne and Jasmine for their PBs, Suzzanne averaging over 16mph for the first time. Well done too to Nathan, who averaged over 24mph for the first time, which was enough to tie exactly with SPCC's Rob Grainger.

I thought I was going reasonably well, given tired legs from the mountain bike race the night before, but the in-form Mark Williams took half a minute off me yet again. At least he didn't catch me! Mark was the winner on the night, as although Mel Blackford was going faster he added the best part of a mile to his ride by continuing to the big roundabout (which the course used to use) instead of turning at the new one!

Many thanks to Paul Marr and Lorraine Naylor for running this one, especially Lorraine who drove me out and back at short notice after my train to Malton was cancelled.
