K7/9 9 mile TT results 2nd July 2014

Last nights time trial on the hilly 9.2mile loop which starts and finishes in Penkridge produced some excellent times. The most impressive performance was Martin Moore who set a new club course record and knocked 5 seconds of Dave Gill’s time finishing in 20:39. Martin’s 2014 season has produced some excellent rides and it looks like there is still a lot more to come from the young rider.

The biggest individual gains on the night were made by Phil Hogan and Paul Taylor who took 61 seconds off their old course pb’s and looks like they are both finding some mid season form. In the women’s event Susan Semple was the fastest on the night and took 13 seconds off her old course pb and missed the club course record (held by Annis Moore) by just 3 seconds.

6 riders rode the course for the first time Sam Jackson (SRC), Dan Arnold (Walsall RCC), Mark Arnold (Walsall RCC), Thomas Knipe (Wolverhampton WCC), Dave Pemberton (Wolverhampton RCC), Dan Ward (Private Trial) and it will be interesting to see over the next 2 weeks what each of them can do on this course. Thanks to the Stafford RC members who hosted the event Steve & Richard (starters), Dave & Sue Smith (Timekeeper and spotter), Don Picken (results), Paul Taylor (signs) and photos taken on the night by Peter Jackson and Alastair Semple that are posted on Stafford RC Flickr account.
