Our first 25 mile time trial of the season, on the 29th April took place at Beattock. This is the course for the Dumfries cycle festival “open” 25 mile time trial. So it was an excellent warm up.
John Moir was the only rider who broke the hour mark with a time of 59:02. Ben Smith second at 64:05 and John Patterson third at 64:21.
Other results were:
Davy Thompson 73:15, Nick Prichard 68:01, Colin Little 71:28, Alastair Johnson 73:18, Dave Barnes 66:29, Graeme Kerr 69:33, Colin McCann 67:34, Alex Ure 74:32, Neil Henderson 69:18, Guy Graham 69:28, Alan Crighton 67:15, Wullie Mc Cubbin 65:58, Mike Thompson 65:50 and Neil Pearson 64:26.
I spent most of the post race trying to convince Yvonne I didn’t go for chips. Sorry I took so long but I’ve ran out of excuses. Talking of which the prize for best excuse for not riding goes to Alf Gedes, who managed to lock both his helmet and car keys inside his car. It’s made even more amusing when he was asked if he was “riding or hiding” only 15 minutes earlier. We also got to the bottom of John’s Dad’s music tastes. Last week it was his brother’s not his Dad’s MP3 player. Dave listens to Glen Millar, George Formby, Nat King Cole and the likes.
