seven of ten

Lockerbie 7th of ten handicap races on 29th July

We started off this time trial in heavy rain expecting it to be a night where PB would be in short supply. The rain only lasted ¾ mile then the road was bone dry. The result was PB’s for 9 riders.

Ben Smith with a PB was fastest with a time of 23:05. Mike Thompson was second at 24:27 and John Patterson, just 2 seconds behind Mike at 25:25 ended up third.

Other results were:
Donald McCalley 26:56, Davy Thompson 27:11, Chris Prichard 26:21 PB, Kenny Hogg 25:53 PB, Adrian Garret 27:41 PB, Alistair Johnson 26:54 PB, Alex Ure 26:58, Graeme Kerr 25:47, Sam Ewart 27:22 PB, Colin Little 26:08 PB, Alec Barclay 26:19 PB, Neil Henderson 26:00, Jim McConnachie 25:37, Neil Pearson 24:31, Wullie McCubbin 25:21, Alan Crieghton 25:07 PB.

PB denote personnel best at this distance

It’s a real shame that guys pretty close to their PB don’t get any points, but our Chairman gets a PB and still doesn’t get any points.
John Moir on holiday in France will be delighted with the result as the top 2 only collected the lower points.
As a result of Wednesday’s results the handicap championship is now down to the top 8 riders.
Let’s hope for a good turnout for the remaining 3 events as this makes it difficult for the league leaders to gain the higher points on the night, keeping the league close until the end of the season.

Apologies for error that has and will appeared in paper (especially to Jim cause he’s got no points! Same as me!).
I made a mistake with Adrian’s handicap.
