Our only race of truth for the year, the club time trial championship attracted less interest than normal this year. Foul weather conditions, a graded and muddy Sthurs road and the thought of riding around on your own as fast as you can trying to set a PB apparently was enough to put off most.
A miserable 10 competitors attended with only 8 managing to finish.
James Henry was the winner of the open championship. He managed the very respectable time of 35.02 for the 3 laps. This was an average speed of 41.87 km/h. Second was LCCC member Jim Timmer Arends. Jim averaged just over 40km/h. Third was Jayden Manintveld.
Brett Rollinson was first in the M123 division with Shane Stiles Second and Simon Baxter third. Shane deserves a special mention as he completed the race on his road bike unlike the others who had custom build time trial equipment.
Robyn Baker was the womens champion, riding a standard road bike with clip on bars.
This week is the beginning of the B&T plumbing crit series which starts at Labertouche at 2.00pm. Members are required to enter online by Friday if they intend to race. Enter here.
