PTW

R10/22 (Dual Carriageway)
Sign on 6:30pm in usual car park
First rider off 7:00pm
Met Check forecast looks better than BBC, shows: Temp 9 deg. C with 10mph SW wind (feeling more like 5 deg C), so tough start and fast return.
Good practice run before Saturday club event
Fingers X'd my trusty casio doesn't let me down

Cracking ride by William of Gannonshire, put nearly a good minute into me and I was trying, honest! Well done Bill.

Thanks, Andy. You probably didn't take a close look at what I was riding. Gone is the bright red Monoc, and in comes a sleek black number. Frame, fork and wheels from Jeff Bruce. Rest of the bike courtesy of Ribble.

It's murder riding it home, though

Also congrats to Bevan. I did my first TT in about 1993, and I too did a 35. The winner that day did a 22, and I couldn't believe it was possible.
