Jon

Not racing but want to ride the course.

Do you need me to marshall?
Driving down from Kenley in a big van if anyone wants a lift?

Jon's away this week but the TT still goes ahead as planned.

Places still available for riders if you turn up on the night, just get there in time to sign on and get a number before the first rider starts as Joyce and Tim will be tied up with timekeeping after that and I'll be either pushing off or at the turn.

Al, no reason you can't ride the course outside the TT. If you can help it would be excellent, either as pusher off or turn marshall. Thanks.

Here's his startsheet:

Thanks again to Jon, Tim, Joyce, Andrew and Al for organising, time keeping, pushing off, marshalling and hence enabling all this to happen.

Nice atmosphere and good to have a chat and a bit of banter. Given the poor weather forecast it was a remarkably pleasant evening with little wind for a change. I've come to expect a force 10 gale - so nice to ride into a gentle breeze.

I really enjoyed the ride - nearly got my PB - felt so good that I somehow missed the last climb and was still waiting for it when I got to the finish!! So still had something in my tank, so could have gone faster!!!

Sam did brilliantly - smashed his PB on his new bike - and beat me by 9 seconds. Damn that boy!!

Why so few though?? - what with no shows there was less than 10 starters . (we had even fewer at the Bletchingley TT last month) Perhaps we need to publicise the TTs on the general forum or somewhere more obvious??? I'm sure that's how Sam and I first got involved. perhaps the racing section of the forum is a bit full on and gives the impression that it's only for the hard core?? perhaps some new members would never think to look there?This is after all a bit of fun (albeit with a serious edge) and we are an inclusive club.

Anyway, just a thought. Good to see all those there.

Quite right Jon, more people would be good. Thanks to Tim,Joyce,Andrew and Al for making it happen

Must agree turned out to be a very pleasant evening for a TT. Thanks to everyone who helped and well done to those that turned up.

Would it be worth the evening TTs being mentioned at the start of the club run the preceding Saturday or at the cafe for those that don't access the forum

Sorry guys, spent ages trying to work out how to format this, but alas without success so you'll have to align the fields to the headings yourself
