Penultimate Ten Mile Race

On a horrendous wet and windy night 18 riders turned up at Lockerbie for the 9th of ten handicap races where the top seven results count. Wisely Colin McCann decided it was dangerous so headed home but Graham Kerr started. However he didn’t last long. Some say it was because he had no chance of overtaken Ashley in the handicap league but I think that he was wearing Ashley shorts by mistake and after the power went in they couldn’t take the strain and burst.
John Moir was fastest with a time of 23:18. In second place with a PB was John Patterson at 23:39 and Mike Thompson third at 24:20.

Other results were:
Donald McCalley 28:29, Davy Thompson 29:16, Adrian Garret 29:27, Peter Jackson 28:32, Alistair Johnson 26:55, Alex Ure 27:11, Colin Little 26:53, David Barnes 25:27, Neil Henderson 27:08, Chris Prichard 24:55 PB, Guy Graham 25:48, Wullie McCubbin 25:36, and Alan Crieghton 25:21.

PB denote personnel best at this distance

These 10 mile time trials are handicapped races which gives every member a chance to win points. The seven best from ten are taken into account.

It was a great night for John Patterson, he successfully manage to get rid of all but one of his competitors for the handicap league. John is in pole position now but any thing can happen on the last race. The battle for 2nd and 3rd place remains close.
NOTE: Lockerbie 10 mile time trial is a 6:45 start!
