What an exciting evening. At the finish line, the tension was palpable, as the clear and nigh on perfect evening for time-trialling got underway!
The riders soon approached, and as they came past, it was clear that the top boys were gunning for the top prize of the Guardian Cup 2015! No less than 7 PBs were taken during the evening, but who by?
Well, the evening’s results are in the table below, but who has won the Guardian Cup? I think we can guess, but I’m afraid that tradition prevents me from letting the cat out of the bag until we hit the pub after the Final Fling next Wednesday!!
So, if you want to know first just how close this competition got, you’ll have to come along next week – why not have a ride – the last club 10 of the season? After which, we’ll chase up to the Crown Inn in Lower Peover, have a quick shandy, and the results will be revealed!
Also next week, this is a free time trial for club members. Yes, you don’t even have to pay Β£2.50 for 1/2 an hour of pain and torture!! π
See you all next week, and in the meantime, pour over the table below and see if you have correctly worked out the final standings…. π
