Port Talbot 25 R25/3L
On a day which the country was blasted by storms, it
turned out not to be so good for Time trialling or was it?
On this super fast course in Wales saw many riders still
knocking out some fast times but with the micro climates in
the area saw some slow rides and some PB's.
Unfortunately for Scott he had a head wind out, then got hit
by a massive rain storm before the turn only to return with
no tail wind.
Paul on the other hand had the wind out and a tail wind back
but rode the last 12 miles in the cold rain.
Scott Holmes 56-55
Paul Egan 59-01

VTTA National 25 Champs E2/25
11th June
With a quality field of Veterans from all over the
country Scott Holmes could only manage 13th reserve with his
57-14---12.54 on std. On this well known fast dual
carriageway course on the A11/A14 near Cambridge. The
organiser managed to fit Scott inbetween the last man and
the tandem event on this breezy day. My target was to aim
for 5-30 2.5 mile splits but at the turn with the a head
wind it was down to a average split of 5-50. But on the
return with the splits coming down to 5-30,5.05,4.39,4.50
saw my average come down to 5.32 given me a PB of 55-21.
Chris cruised around on his road bike and clocked 1-11-34
unofficial.

windy evening to record his first 25 time for many years

High Wycombe 25 Marlow ski slop course
15th May
Morning started well and float but by start time we
had that gusty wind back again which caught Scott Holmes out
as he rode his deep section front wheel, and had problems
with a speed wobble at 40 mph on the ski slop. He had to
brake going down the hill when I went above 33 mph ,One
rider crashed and broke his collar bone.
Lesson learnt.
Scott beating a lot of his target men by 2 mins and caught
no 40 for 2 mins rode well in the wind with a personal best
beating his junior 25 time 58-27
Paul disappointed with his ride but determined to make
progress, With Graham please and riding well.
