24/04/2012 - Briercliffe 10 Results

A sunny but cool evening with a light breeze against the riders on the long straight to GM Growers, saw conditions that many of the 15 riders felt were less favourable than last week. However, a number of riders showed improvements in their times, in particular Mark Young who took more than a minute off last week’s time.

Andy Herbert was once again quickest round the course in a super-impressive 23:34. In defiance of a ruling from TT secretary (James Gomm) that Ben should wear flip-flops, Ben Wilson reverted to cycling shoes this week and went sub-24 on Briercliffe for the first time. He did warm-up in desert wellies though.

More suitable for the Tour of Qatar surely?

Timekeeping/pushing off was carried out with aplomb by Clive Collins, Geoff Perry, Frank Turner, and James Spence. Many thanks to all. All riders HNCC unless stated otherwise .
