A number of club riders climbed out of their beds early to make the long trek out to the Q10/19 Tonbridge bypass course for the San Fairy Ann 10 mile TT. For a couple of the riders, it was their first trip back to this course in over 20 years.
Conditions were warm but with a stif crosswind in places. Talking to regular riders of this course, this was not a particularly good day, which puts 2nd claim member Chris Fennell’s course record into perspective. Chris took 4 seconds off the 30 year old record, previously held by Colin Sturgess, to come home with 18.44. Another rider who had a successful morning was Adrian Hawkins with a PB of 21.07, while Nick Scott recorded 21.25. I’m not sure if this is a PB for Nick?
