Well, we are well into the last half of this year’s competition, and this week there were some good times steady times set.
Lee romped home with the fastest time, as he does every time he turns up – unless Matt Nowell pays a visit of course, and after an on course incident, where Strava allegefly said that he stopped for 65 seconds(!), he still brought home a 22:31.
Stu Ward is also well on form with a 24:48, and Craig Lee just behind him with a 24:58.

So, where are we in the Guardian Cup series? With only 3 rounds to go, we have a non-mover at the top with Dave Wilkinson, who retains his points tally from last week, only scoring 11 in his 6th ride of the year (remember it is your 5 best points scores that are added together for the overall prize), and below tat, it’s all change. Rich Munro, improving all time, jumps to 2nd place, 17 points behind the leader with 96 points, but still with a chance to score big with a big 5th ride. Emily also, just 1 point behind Rich has 3 more chances to bump up the score.
It’s still all to play for!
