After some careful consideration, we have taken the decision to cancel this evenings youth and adult training sessions. We wanted to get the word out as early as possible, please help us spread the word.
With the rain staying across the evening and high winds, we just don’t think that it will be nice conditions for training to take place this evening.
Thank you for your understanding and feedback on the matter, everyone’s safety and welfare comes above everything.
Stay safe out there and we hope to see you all on Thursday for the All-Star session and next week for regular training.
Due to ongoing repairs at the track there will be no training on Monday 27th October. We’re confident that Monday night training will resume next week (3rd November) with the Halloween themed session originally planned for this week.
Marshals: Susan Tilly, Tom Levell, Keith Nelson, Lisa Jobling, Eric Harkins, Graham Currie
Many thanks to all the competitors who turned out for this event. Numbers are down in general for TTs across the region, and so it was here too, with the lowest turnout to date. There were event clashes that contributed to this (particularly the local CX event), and we hope we can avoid this next year. I would encourage everyone to try to tempt friends and fellow club members into TT & hillclimbs wherever possible.
Many thanks too to all the marshals, timekeepers, and event HQ helpers, without whom the event could not have taken place.
Finally, a thank you to all the spectators who lined the hill and provided a great atmosphere and a lot of “encouragement” to the competitors.
The event was won by Elliott Holt, still a junior, who also broke his own course record for juniors. Tom Harcourt pipped Richard Lilleker by just two seconds to claim second spot.
The female event was won for the second year running by Gemma Mitchell, triumphing over Louise Hamilton and Deborah Jefferies. Full results have been uploaded to the CTT site, and the prize breakdown is given below. Winners will be contacted by email to provide bank/PayPal details for payment of prize money.
Many thanks to you all.
