Last Tuesdays club 10 at Gawsworth had the smallest field we have seen for years, but it did not lack quality. Best time of 21:57 was by Ben Norbury. Second was Steve Hulme 22:16 and regular guest Keith Dutton (Wills Wheels) was third in 22:23.
Mark Allen 21.7.15
Remarkably, Mark Allen riding some deep rimmed wheels loaned by Steve Hulme managed to equal his PB of 24:16 for the second week running, which also was second fastest on handicap.
Fastest amongst the ladies was second claim member, Charli Alston riding her road bike to 28:22 to beat Denise Hurst 28:38, Lesley Norbury 30:18 and Polly Wilding 30:23. Polly’s was the only PB on the night so she took maximum handicap points for the second successive week.
