Horrendous conditions prevailed as riders from around the South of Scotland battled for their positions. The rain lashed down relentlessly with everyone getting soaked to the bone. Luckily coffees and teas with some delicious goodies were available to help recovery. Thank you to Margaret Johnston who rallied to their aid.
First home tonight was Gary Robson of Gala CC in 21.46, closely followed by Kenny Darling of Kelso Wheelers in 22.05 and David Caesar from Bicycle Works in 22.13. Considering weather conditions it was uplifting to see eight riders achieve times under 23 minutes. Well done to David Johnston achieving a Personal Best of 22.57 after all that training in Italy.
Team prize was won by Kelso Wheelers, a great effort!
Next races are a 10 mile TT on Monday 15th August meeting at Abbotsford House at 7.00pm and a 25 mile TT on Thursday 18th August meeting at Langshaw Road end at 7.00pm.
There is an ESCA EGM on Wednesday 17th August to be held at Meadowbank Stadium at 7.30pm. We would like as many BCF members as possible to attend.
