The race organisers laid on a nice breeze to push the 34 riders down the first 3 miles to the left hand turn. After that everyone was on their own and had to pedal every so often.
Mechanical malfunction of the night went to Brian Loughbridge who was frantically trying to borrow a tyre before the race because tube was showing.
Wardrobe malfunction of the night went to Jim Cooke who was not too bothered about the rip in his shorts and had bum showing.
Johnny Hooper turned up looking like Woody Woodpecker [that's a reference to woodpeckers two weeks in row for anyone that's counting] by sporting a large pointy white aero helmet. Hooper may have found a simple watch a wiser spend for he missed his start slot and had to go at the back of the field.
Finally, for another week in row Gareth Martin on his city/hybrid bike has been valiantly slugging it out with the carbon frame bunch. Martin is currently in the market for a set of tribars to go on his straight handle bars!
Next week is Killynure. Please park on Killynure Ave, not on the main road.
