Ten riders came out for the holiday week TT which returned to Temple. The air temperature was perfect with a moderate headwind in places.
Vaughan's new socks didn't lose their magic in the wash and performed admirably again. Gerry "King of the Sportive" O'Neill put in a decent performance after many weeks absence. In the battle of the sibling's Colm seems to have shook off brother Kiernan for the time being. Putting in a late first appearance Dave Lonnen had a good run but faded in the hills over the last 2 miles. Peter is talking himself real close to getting a new bike; his bottom bracket has a lot of play and is locked solid preventing putting a new one in.
Thanks to Maeve and Judith for timekeeping so well.
