Leading the way was Ben Wilson with the fastest time this season for the evening David Gudgin series with an agonisingly close to a sub hour ride of 1:00:10. It later transpired that Ben had stopped half way round to check his bike for a phantom puncture which cost him sub-hour glory.
Deciding that riding a 25 mile time trial was not enough of a challenge, Clive Collins and Nick Hickman decided to add a beer stop at the pub in Old Warden to sink half a pint on the second lap. It was Nick who set the benchmark with a drinking time of twenty seconds, with Clive trailing him by a further six seconds. It is expected that these times will be reduced as the season goes on with some specialised training sessions.
Thanks to Frank Turner for carrying out dual roles of Timekeeping (both riding and drinking) and Pushing Off.
