Well it was certainly a Hardrider event this weekend for those hardy souls who braved the weather to ride the Bristol South CC 50 mile time trial on U109/50. It had rained hard overnight and the skies were dark and threatening with a keen and blustery wind putting two thirds of the course into a headwind/cross wind and there was standing water in several places. The weather reduced the field with only 50% of entries starting.
Dan Kelly, Vince Douglas, and Nathan Monk represented the Club, achieving 2:06:17, 2:06:22, and 2:32:55 (road bike) respectively. The full result sheet is here. As a reult of these rides the club has moved into first place in the WTTA Hardriders team competition with 2026 points, ahead of 360VRT on 2012 and Bath CC on 1996.. Thanks go to all the members that have made contributions.
