Thanks go to Simon Rendell and the rest of the Cranbrook CC crew for running tonight’s East Devon Evening Ten on the Honiton Club Course.
Weather conditions in Devon had been decidedly unsettled during the course of the day, with torrential downpours hitting many places, and indeed causing the cancellation of the Open Ten Mile TT on the S4 course this evening; the A38 was awash with rainwater. Luckily the east of the county managed to miss out on biblical downpours, but without doubt the threat of rain kept riders away, resulting in a small field of just ten riders. The strong westerly wind will also have been an off-putting factor – times were on the slow side.
It was a home win for the organising club, with C category veteran Lubos Obornik storming round in 22 minutes 40 seconds. Jimmy Richards of Pure Endurance kept up his run of high placings in the series with runner up spot on 23.51 whilst James Greenaway (EWCC) again went well, with a 24.51 for third.
Next Wednesday there will be no Club Ten as it is the evening of the Exeter Wheelers Open Ten on the Honiton ‘fast’ course. As ever, offers to help as marshalls will be gratefully received.
