VTTA 25

October 4th 2009 - H25/2, Marlow ski-slope course.

It's been a quiet year with only one or two riders in any given open event, and almost all the nominated "Open-as-club events" haven't qualified as club events this year as the minimum five riders have not entered.

So....

A sudden surge of late-season interest saw five Phoenix members entered in the VTTA 25 on the H25/2 this morning for a rather leisurely 8am start - not that a 6am wake-up call wasn't in order for some to get there. A pleasantly still and cool-to-warm autumn morning greeted the riders - none of the river mist that we get here sometimes - and the trip proved worthwhile for all five riders, with all doing season's bests and 3 pbing.

Stuart 57:21 pb (was 1:0:32)
Ben 1:00:28 pb (was 1:4:20)
Steve 1:05:40 pb (was 1:6:06)
Jake 1:07:23 (from a 1:9:58 this year, done in May)
Grant 1:16:24 (bettering the 1:16:56 done last month)

Fastest was Nik Bowdler (Farnborough and Camberley CC) - this year's BBAR Champion - in 52:35.

Congratulations to all!
