Someone must have said some sort of prayer this evening because that black sky was holding onto a good few hundred tonnes of rain, all of which miraculously stayed locked up in the sky.

The road was actually wet from a recent shower for the first two or three miles but it was reasonably mild and completely windless, so pretty close to ideal conditions.

Fourteen riders raced the course – it was great to see another good turnout.

In the top 3, Dave logged a course PB in 24:14, Neil was just ahead on 24:10 and Joe again went tantalisingly close to sub 23 with his win in 23:04.

In the road bike category tonight, Jacob grabbed the top spot in an excellent 25:43.

A “Welcome back” to Jeremy, first TT since the broken scapula healed up!

Thanks then to the weather Gods and of course to our legendary marshaling and timekeeping crew – nice to see Christine back in stopwatch action!

Times as follows.
