The final time trial of an interesting season. Our single starter, new member Kelvin Newman, recorded an excellent time in his time trial debut especially since he was riding a steel road bike.

​This event was part of the SCA Championship series, with the vets placings based on CTT target times (as opposed to VTTA standards). Well done to Kelvin as he takes the WECC Hill Climb title for 2020

And, once again, big thanks are due to Chris Putnam for promoting the event, this being his final season.

Unable to finish due to RTA

Nolan Heather

Unable to start due to RTA

 

A major road traffic accident right by the finish seriously affected the event. Only a third of the riders got a clear run, another third were given some arbitrary time and the remaining third were unable to start or finish.

Despite a CTT results being published the event was voided as the SCA Championship 15 and also voided as the WECC Championship 15.

A heavily subscribed event due to the fast course, and which attracts all the quick riders from far and wide.
​The qualifying entry time is fast indeed. The first 102 riders all finished inside 21:59.

Nik and Nolan secured their fastest 10s of a very brief season.

An interesting day for a couple of our riders. Nolan did well to go inside the hour despite taking a wrong turn at the roundabout at the end of Stane Street. Meanwhile Trevor imagined that he was on the P901/50 course and so did an extra loop of the Stane Street lap, thus adding an extra three miles or so to his ride.

Race report from Nik:

On the right day this would be a very nice course (Q10/1).  A very slight rolling climb to turn and then reverse to the finish with a slightly dodgy tight, speed draining left turn with half mile to go.
This point was proved by winner, Chris Fennel in 18:11. Only 93 seconds ahead of 2nd place!!!!!!!
Anyway I made no use of this, as the 10 mph headwind seemed to drain my strength leaving very little to make use of better return leg.
And as for the last half mile after turn.......  I think that I was being sucked back into the vacuum being left by Chris Fennell....
The search for race legs continues.

A bolt failure on his aero bars put paid to Trevor's race this season. So Rick becomes club champion and moves into pole position for the Richard Shipton Trophy (fastest 50 of the season by a WECC rider).

Ride report from Ian : I'm sorry to say that today was a mare! Torrential rain and headwind on the outward section combined with a poor ride made for one of my worst TT times.
