WVCC Club 10s – Guardian Cup Round 2 – 18th May 2016

A slightly more pleasant evening this week as the wind was a little more favourable, with a tailwind start, and a cross wind on the A50, but it’s never easier, you just go faster or push yourself harder!

Fast men tonight were those flying into the 23s, with Jacob Booth from Team Bikehaus taking the fastest time of 23:30, and Jim Williams, storming along this year only 15 seconds behind with 23:45, and Geoff Mullett bringing in 3rd with 23:51.

There was another 23 though, riding their own race, Dave and Caroline brought home a 23:34 riding their tandem.

Results in time order are below

* Non member and + 2nd claim member – will not gain points for Guardian Cup.

Tandem results are also in this table(!)

There were also big improvements in times this week, as 10 riders bagged Guardian Cup PBs, improving their points scores.

Maximum points however this week went to Jo Blakeley, who, excited as ever at the very thought of racing, battered 114 seconds of her time from the previous week to claim maximum Guardian Cup points for Round 2.

The results for Round 2 in point scoring order are as below.

In the 10 race competition however, Dave Wilkinson jumps to the top of the points table with 45, closeley followed by Emily Martin and Jim Williams with a joints points total of 41. The master points table is displayed below.

Still early in the game however and plenty of time to compete and gain points. Don’t forget that at the end of the competition, it is your best 5 point scoring rounds that count towards the Guardian Cup, and points are scored each week on the largest improvement (or least loss!) in terms of time.
