Saturday Series Results Johnstown Bridge 21/05/16.

First trial of this newly selected course. Far less than ideal conditions but it looks like it may have great potential, probably the best road surface of any of our courses. We are investigating the use of the Hotel Car Park and facilities in the village for our next outing there on July 30th.

If anyone is riding out that way regularly in the evenings a traffic assessment after 1915 would be appreciated so we can see if the course would be useable for mid week TT’s.

We had the start finish a little wrong to the tune of about 70 metres short which we will correct next time. My garmin gave 16.03 km.

The climbing element of the course is almost exactly the same as Kilcock at 78 metres. Will make the same comparison for Moy Valley next Saturday.

Another great ride by Ian blew the rest of the field away whilst at the other end of the age spectrum I’m confirming that hard days get a lot harder as you get older. 🙂 Ian 4% slower than handicap. Me 13% slower. It won’t come as any surprise that no one beat handicap, Colm Conway being the closest 1.62% off his handicap.

TTL_03 Results Oliver Bright 10 TT. Kilcock. 17/05/2016.

A great turnout and an extraordinarily wet night. It seems that the conditions had a wide ranging effect. I told Ian Cassidy on Saturday after he broke the age 42 record that we considered Kilcock to be a hard course and that he should come and try what I think is our best one at Kilcock. This he did and in spite of conditions “stormed” around the course in 20:28 lowering the record by a further 58 seconds. Chappeau ! At the other end of the age scale Patsy Fitzsimons shaved 1:10 off Kevins’ age 82 record. Chappeau! Five other riders managed to beat handicap. More chapeau!
This coming Saturday morning we trial another new 10 TT course at Johnstown Bridge on the Enfield – Carbury road R402. This will be a side of the road HQ again so absolute discretion please whilst changing etc.

Phil.

17’05’16. Oliver Bright 10 TT. Kilcock.

Message from TTcomm. Please remember, rear lights are compulsory in TT’s.
Be safe, Be seen. Don’t go for an excuse for a light either, what price saving a euro or two versus saving your life? This is just highlighting our IVCA TT rules of time trialling.
But why not use a rear light every time you throw your leg over the bike? It won’t cost you much money. It won’t cost you any speed. but it might just mean that the driver behind sees you rather than creams you.

Think about it.

Please.

Phil.

Hattons Saturday Series TT Results 07/05/2016

May is it ? Summers here is it ? Well only 8 hardmen or madmen turned out for yesterdays 10 Mille TT at Hattons between Summerhill and Kilcock. Lets just say the challenge was n’t just to go fast on 2 wheels, but also to stay upright on 2 wheels.  The conditions on the return leg were brutal to say the least poor visibility and high winds,  and the downpours continued from 9.00 am and well after we had finished on the sporting course. Thanks to all the marshalls/medics and to Hattons where hot tea and coffee were most welcome trying to get warm after the test.

Winning time by Paul Dolan with a 23’30” pictured below from last week, Dave Carroll 15 seconds behind in 2nd, hope he recovers ok after a crash he had after the finish. Full Results below, and all TT results are now update to here

IVCA 10TT Rathcoffey Saturday Series Results 30/04/2016.

 

Our first Saturday League TT was also our first trial of a new course at Rathcoffey / Kilcock. There were varying views on the course from a safety aspect so I would ask everyone there to drop a mail to TTcomm with their views for committee to consider. Certainly the facilities at the GAA were excellent and only missing catering facilities.

It was another very cold outing but there were great times done by a few with Paul again dominating affairs in all categories.

Next Tuesday, 3/5 we are again at Black Bull and the following Saturday we are at Hattons Restaurant, Summerhill / Kilcock course for another variation this time with a start / finish at Hattons, and one or one and a bit laps of the full stretch in a Hattons – Kilcock – Summerhill – Hattons direction. Start time 0930 again.
