..and just before round 3 kicks off tonight, here are the placings.
Hopefully we are not going to have another year like 2014 with loads of roadworks, but it certainly looks that way with yet another course change due to temporary traffic lights in Peover. We used the old 2 lapper that we all know and love (hate) and the wind was also tough just to make it worse. Unsurprisingly everybody who rode last week went quite a bit slower this week apart from a certain Mr Williams! Jim rode his new toy and obliterated his PB putting 61 seconds into his time of last week with a very respectable 27:03. At this rate of progress I reckon Jim should be down to an 18 by August, so watch out Wiggo.
Jim’s maximum 25 points lifted him up to 3rd place overall in the Guardian Cup but Matt Sayle our resident paparazzi cameraman reeled off another snappy ride with a 29:42 giving him 22 points and maintaining his first place in the cup with 47 points. However Matt is sharing top spot with Dennis Hornby who is proving that he is equally at home on two wheels as he is on three.
Still 8 rounds to go so get out and open your account if you haven’t put your toe in the water yet (where does this drivel come from!?) Next week I promise that we will enjoy a fast day on a good course so put it in your diary.
