Recommended Posts

Hinckley CRC Open 25 mile TT 21/6/2015

 

                                   

 

 

My PB for a '25' is 1.03.17, I set that in the mid nineties when I was twenty something... fast forward another twenty years and I find myself wearing Saracen RC colours, and on the start line of Hinckley Open 25, the K41/25

 

This is how I think it happened...

 

at some point I must have signed up for it, I can't remember doing so, but I do remember watching the Spring classics, the Giro, and the Hour records, long sleeves turn into short sleeves...

 

 

 

The night before the mourning after.....

Tough day folks!  A lifetime worst for me - I have ridden 30's a lot faster in my time.  No train no gain.

 

Anyone interested in my Scott Plasma TT bike? It's in the canal at Droitwich. Under the bridge.  :biggrin:

 

Big up to both ladies! If you can ride a tough course like that in unfavourable wind conditions you've got what it takes.

Another awesome race report Kevin! Love the photos!!!

 

Thank you Kevin, Owen and Mick for a lovely weekend of great company, yummy food, lots of laughs and fab racing.

 

Congrats to all that rode! As Dave said it was a tough course and rough conditions but still a great experience for me. A big nod to The Fast Lane for her awesome effort! Really glad you enjoyed the event!

 

Owen and I are now relaxing and planning our next 25TT!!!

Ha! Yes 50 Shades it's about time you joined us for another TT! And 'Batty' here has purchased some rather rad socks that I think you will approve of! 

 

Look forward to seeing you Sunday birthday boy!  :wink:
