So, Round One of the Gordon Rout hilly TT completed.
Well done to all eighteen riders racing this evening, with a 50:50 split between TT bikes and Road Bikes.
Great to see all the new riders’ names on the sheet and bad luck to Gary and Oisin.
I was unable to be there but Russell tells me that despite the mild evening and sunny sky, the northerly headwind provided a tough first section before the road tilted upwards over the Windydoors climb then down the technical and gravel-strewn descent.
Arran took it in a fast time, with Joe remarkably only a half minute behind, given he was on a road bike!
Great ride from Neil to take third.
The TT was followed by Round One of the Freewheel Challenge, results are below.
Thanks again to all the marshals and timekeeper.
