Reading Cycling Club press report, week ending 10 March 2013

Chris Tomsett and Adam Thompson win a 29-mile hilly time trial and Ranjit Bahra opens his sportive season.

Club TT 09/03, HCC241 - Fairmile

Cold, wet and overcast conditions were not the most pleasant greeting to start the 2013 Club TT season; however seven riders took on the relatively quick Fairmile course near Wallingford.
 
Despite slick roads and four roundabouts to tackle some fast early season times were set with the top three riders only four seconds apart. RCC's Adam Thompson set a quick 23:27, followed by Martin Cairns at 23:29 and VC10's Steve Wright with 23:31.
 
My thanks to new RCC member Pat Tynan for helping push off and time, much appreciated.

A spreadsheet with detailed results is attached to this post.

Brian Perry writes: Well done folks. Despite pretty cold weather 48 set off, and 40 finishers. There were 6 known DNFs who called in or relayed a message.

Moneys raised for the three charities totalled £117.52

Thanks to my helpers; Ian and Mary for their bounteous hospitality. Ian, Paul, Doug and Fay at the start.
At the finish: John timekeeping, Mike recording, Fay - with the tickets, Doug guiding riders, and Pete Stocker with the unenviable task of directing riders at the final turn in to the lane. From my point of view I think the suggestion of using a different finish has worked fairly well, and I welcome comments from the riders and helpers.

Provisionally, the 'most reliable' rider is Matt Tolhurst of GS Henley, just 25 seconds within his target time for group 2!
