[quote="Phil H"]Great work today people (good lord - manager-speak). Nice to get another event out of the way without incidents, accidents, hint or allegations. Great performance from our riders too and a few novices were in there. Great cakes and tea despite the team working in less than ideal conditions.
Some mediocre words and pictures [url=http://www.addiscombe.org/addiscombe-cc-open-10-mile-time-trial/]here[/url].
Just to clarify, the school had given us a full urn of water but no cups - hence running around looking into people's cups
I managed to blag about 20 from the volunteer lady who was doing some planting out the back. Last year they'd provided a trolley full of cups and the kitchen or food preparation room was open. I'd tried to take the lid off the urn so that I could see how much water was in it but in the end Phil and co managed to prise the lid off, mostly with my knife and a few spoons - the handle on the lid tending to spin on its own
Also we had no access to a suitable kitchen area for proper washing-up!
Thanks to those who made cake - Jon H, Sandy, Ash and Joyce - I need only have made half what I did
