The pesky Men’s Football World Cup interfered with the Evening Ten scheduled for the 1st of July, and should England progress to the quarter finals then that would see them playing on Wednesday 15th of July at 8pm, meaning we will have to decide what to do about the ‘Ten’ that evening. We will update this page when we know more.
Meanwhile a very warm late June evening on the 24th of June saw some good times despite the hear, or perhaps because of it, and an outing for Exeter Wheelers Luke Osborne who blew the field away with the only sub-22 minute ten on the course this year, flying around in 20 minutes and 40 seconds.
V50+ rider George Robb of promoting club CS Dynamo continued his good form with a time of 24:43, whilst series leader Stuart Pollard of Exeter Wheelers was just 6 seconds behind on 24:49 on his metal road bike.
Two female riders competed. Ayse Vahiboglu of EWCC was the faster, 25:31. Natalie Grainger of Royal Navy cycling rode a 26:58.
The next event is the 8th of July, full details of the series can be found by clicking here.
As we have lost two events we will be amending the number of results that will count towards the end-of-season league table. Again, we will update in due course.
