As one of the lucky ones that got to ride can I say I BIG thanks to Tamar for the organisation and everybody else involved, pushers, marshals, timekeepers, Amy for the very welcome cup of tea at the end.

Marshals you did a fantastic job, must have been cold at the beginning, I couldn't feel my hands when I had finished, it took me several attempts to take my HRM strap off in the gents toilets afterwards :shock: :shock:

Fantastic effort by team Addiscombe, both on and off the track. Some great ride times and a tipperty top team of marshals, pointy people, county people, tea people, sign people, results by phoney people etc etc, led superbly by TC

Great to see a few new faces in the support team. New to the club and new to marshalling too.

Dominic - you're right it was darn cold, colder than Davy Jones' locker, arrr. Me fingers never warmed up until back at hQ after the race. And tee make matters worse, me pirate hat blew away. If only I hadn't left Polly the Parrot at home mebbe it would've been retrieved. Still got me Jolly Roger mind.

Cheers - Snoop

Hey ALL you marshals, it was great to see a friendly face at every twist and turn - no-one could have gone off-course - not even AJ if he'd ridden :!:

Apparently I lost about 22 seconds waving to you as I went past :roll: but wouldn't haven't it any other way.

Special despatches to Nick Mann, whose encouragement was second to none - a real lift, cheers Nick :D

Big thanks to everyone involved.

Isn't Hutch a really great guy, prepared to mingle, talk and sign HIS book :?:

Sorry to have missed breakfast, but Worthing was calling - that's another post.

Well I'd like to thank all the riders, a great turn out and perfomance from the racers.

4 riders sub 1 hour, 1 just outside, and the other 2 with 1hr2min times. FANTASTIC, could almost throw a blanket over the lot of you, might have slowed you down though.

Next year up the team competition to minimum 6 riders and you'll walk it.

Hutch - short 51 minutes :shock: . He just looks so powerful on the bike. Quite oddly he looks huge on the bike, but off the bike and in normal clothes he's average size. Does he wear faom padding under his skinsuit to make himself look big and mean?

[quote]I'd like to take some credit for Michael Hutchinson's time as I did give him a big push


If you'd held on to him instead (for about 10 minutes or so) then we might have had a chance :!:

Thanks to all for yesterday.
Special thanks to the marshalls who made sure that there weren't any cars coming at each roundabout! Also to the guy at the start who stabbed me with the safety pin while pinning my number on - it woke me up a treat.
Shame I'd lent my hour book to my Dad, otherwise I would have got Hutch to sign it. I'd have liked to see him in full flight. He must ride along the flat around 35mph.
Awesome.

Glad to hear the tea went down well - in fact we had such high demand for tea that I had to keep a few people waiting. But thanks to Eddie Munday's sterling efforts in the backroom meant we were soon back in business :D

Poor Eddie, I had to keep shouting at him because his hearing aid battery had died that morning. But I couldn't have done all those teas (and a few coffees) without him, so do thank him if you see him (probably down the clubroom) :D

And tell Chris Watts her apple cake went down very well :!:
