A dry but blustery evening for the latest in this season's Thursday evening time trials with an impressive turn out of 86 riders (37 at 10 miles, 28 at 6 miles, & 21 at 2 miles).

At 2 miles Dylan Edwards was first ahead of Jack Tipler by the slender margin of four seconds, finishing in 5:54 against 5:58. Just two seconds further back, and edging under the magic 6 minute mark by a fraction of a second, was Bob Muir - temporarily parking his time-keeping duties for a rare appearance on the track - which was very good to see (after facilitating some 2000 rides over the course of this year, it's fitting that Bob should eventually get a go himself!). The fastest girl was Megan Howarth in 6:32.

At 6 miles Ben Pennance finished in 15:15, almost a minute ahead of next placed rider, the much younger William Dykes who rode to an exceptionally good time of 16:12. Graeme Cook was third in 16:30, just ahead of James McCracken (16:32) & Adam Hodgson (16:34). Next was fastest girl Sasha Oldham in 16:56.

At 10 miles George Wharton was the fastest rider on the night, though looking again at the splits we think the (alarmingly fast!) time with which he was credited on the night was a minute too fast, and his actual time should be 22:07. Sorry George! Nonetheless, George was over half-a-minute quicker than next-placed Ian Sibbert (22:48), who was followed by the Barlows, Ben in 22:55 and Andrew in 23:06. The fastest woman was Niamh Lewis in 26:14.

Thank you to all who helped out on the night, & to Clarkson Hirst Solicitors for their support. If you fancy having a go at a time trial before the end of the season, there are only two weeks left, so get in touch & then come down to Salt Ayre to have a go!
