Strong westerly winds!

Event number 6 in the Ceta Form Time Trial League was scheduled to be the V863 19-mile Darley TT. Due to road works in Killinghall, the course was shortened to 16.5 miles.

The weather was cool with a quite a strong wind from the west, meaning the riders had a head wind on the way out to Summerbridge and then a tail wind on the A59 towards Harrogate.

14 riders signed on from Harrogate Nova and Moonglu.

Ben Pease (Moonglu) was first male in an amazing time of 39:44 on a TT bike, Rob Senior (Nova) was 2nd in 44:55, on a road bike with Patrick Kavanagh (Nova) 3rd on a road bike in 44:57.

Rob Senior takes the Hilly trophy as the fastest 1st claim member of Harrogate Nova.

Thanks to Margaret & Vaughan Caswell, Stuart Newton, Andrew Wild, Simon Ketteringham, Roger Bromiley and Rob Senior for marshalling, timekeeping and signage. Mike Hudson

Next week’s event is the 25-mile TT at Boroughbridge on 17th June.
