The club had its annual visit to the Kilmington course last night, the thought of Kingsettle Hill up to Alfred’s Tower obviously put a few off as we only had 18 riders this week. Paul Hopkins was quickest on a windy night, covering the course in 26.21, with a 6.42 time for the hill. Kim Little was second (27.54) and Vince Hounsome third (28.47). James Chant and Julian Calloway were the only other riders to get under half an hour.
It was good to see some new faces on the night, hopefully they haven’t been put off by such a hard course and come along again. Thanks to the Home Guard Club for letting us use the car park, and thanks to Vic, Simon and Iain for marshalling and to Roger and Ebby for timekeeping. No thanks at all to the person who took their secatuers/pliers to the cable ties on the warning signs at South Brewham and took the signs apart.
