Awesome ride by Jamie - I think he really wanted that one after last week! Thanks to those who organised/marshalled last night, that was not nice weather. Special thanks to Dave B for his epic marshalling stint!

Given the lumpiness of the course and the rotten weather last night, some good times there on the results list. Fingers crossed for a few dry evenings in the remaining events!

Thanks Charlie and yes special thanks to Dave B for a marshalling stint that was above and beyond the call of duty.
Charlie - do you still have your number? if so can you bring it tomorrow if you're out?

Was Jamie on a plain road bike same as last week?

I think he was, cause he passed me and it looked like he was down in the drops most of the time.

That makes it an even more impressive time then!

Yes Arthur, Jamie was on a plain black road bike - quite nice though.

Congratulations to Charlie who after his 12 hr mountain bike endurance event this weekend can be block-booked for marshalling stints!

Commiserations to Nigel especially having to work 12hr nights. Looks like that puncture in the last "10" cost you a crack at the title?

Arthur - I think we are justified in tweeking the rules slightly mid season - the DNF's should still count as a qualfying ride and be given a token 1 point, if they only attend 7 events - rather like with the TLI road races - afterall they don't get their money back. Nigels is a case in point - bad luck, work commitments and the fact he has already marshalled will have cost him a chance of the title. At least if we include his DNF, it may give him a chance of some prize money - otherwise he is committed to riding & finishing the other 3 events to make up the 7. Several other riders have DNF'd this year - I think they should also be included if they only manage to finish 6 events?

Fine by me - it's your series and that makes sense. I'll have to ponder how to alter the scoring to make it work though!
