On Sunday 18th May a select band of riders stepped up to take part in the inaugural running of the Alton CC’s 5-mile TT, on our new course up the Candover Valley.
Six entrants, including Alison and Michael who joined us from North Hampshire RC, fought the testing headwind to post our first records for the course. Storming rides from Sarah and Guy set our club best ladies and men’s times (surely to be surpassed under more suitable conditions). Owen takes the prize for the fastest run on an ordinary road bike: who needs aero?
Special kudos to Ruth for completing the course in an excellent time just two days after completing a 100-miler.
Following on from our first successful practice run, we look forward to our full TT and social event Sunady 13th July when many more members can enjoy the pleasure of a fast run up the Candovers, and the chance to set some new records.
