The inaugural Comber TT started from the Thomas Henry Memorial school on probably the best evening of the year so far. Everyone had a practice lap and then the riders started off in 30 sec intervals. The course is just over 5 miles although there are a few short and sharp climbs on the Old Ballgowan Road to keep things interesting.
Julie, from Invictus, got the fastest girls time for a second week in a row. We expect Miss Kerr to be rocking up with tri-bars any week soon!
Enda Marron (who incidentally put Comber TT on the calendar) showed some fine mid season form with a joint second fastest time. Maybe if that tractor hadn't slowed him he would have been fastest. We will never know!
Finally, a shouted smart comment from Pollock, whilst overtaking Ali, caused Pollock's concentration to waiver and triggered him overshooting the left turn. A witness has it that that Pollock was still giggling about it all the way home.

Thanks to David Montgomery and Stephen Smartt for time keeping (despite one counting riders off 30sec and the other counting off 1min...and forgetting to ask people their BBQ attendance on the start line).
