Riders of the Evening 10 #2 13th May - Please Read
There are cones on the north bound section of the G10/42 route and they are scheduled to be cleared away on Wednesday, the day of the next 10. We are going to hopefully run the event as normal but please be aware that I may need to cancel the event on the night if the cones are still in place or if workmen are still removing them at 7pm. Sorry I cant be more definite but your safety is paramount. Keep your fingers crossed.

New Mitts
Steve Hillier has secured a delivery of very high quality KPRC Mittens with leather palms and two pull off loops per glove and will be announcing the price shortly (around £13). Sizes are large medium and small and I assume XL but not sure contact Steve. I tried a large size and they are a good generous fit and very comfortable. Please contact Steve if interested and I am sure he can arrange a viewing/trial fit at an evening 10 or the like.
Steve is also planning to order close fit overshoes and would be interested to hear of expressions of interest to gauge the volume.

Evening 10 #1 Report
For me personally, the omens were written for this event when I found out that after parking in the Inholms car park a bird had taken a hearty dump on my car, my beloved TT bike and me. As I cleaned the greeny-yellow gunk off of everything the temperature dropped and my ebbing mojo dropped with it.
It seemed that I was not the only one afflicted with early season tt-itis. Rick Opie had not got his gear mech out of medium gear mode and Rachel then went and punctured before reaching the start. Along with that a hearty number of no-shows due to various reasons meant that we had a field considerably smaller than our first event last year. Still, 15 KPRC riders along with Phil Ember from Paceline and Rob Gardner from the Wheelers made an honest event of it.
The consensus seemed to be hard work on the outward leg and then stick the spinnakers out on the way home. My evening was complete when I found that I couldn't get the bottom 7 sprockets on my block owing to a loose lockring. I don't think it would have made much difference to the speed at which Phil Ember went past me. It seems that pretty much every night is a fast night for Phil. Our first rider home was David Watt, who is already starting to look like the man to beat this season. I think he's been cheating. Sorry, training. At 24.16 that was a great time to put down so early in the season. Russell Williams was second man home with John Beer taking both third place in the scratch and handicap competitions.
Jake Dodd started where she left off last season and put her Mallorca fitness to good use as she was first lady home with Lynda Gale and Samantha Pickup taking second and third spots respectively. Mike Morley took the top handicap points and Grant Pyke taking second spot.
Many thanks to Rachel and Joe for putting out and retrieving the signs, Andy for pushing off and Frank, as ever, for stopping the clocks. And a big happy birthday on the night to the evergreen Ken Williams.
The next evening 10 is on Wednesday 13th April. Names to me or Frank to get on the start sheet.
