Result & Report – Bath CC Hilly Time Trial

Report…
Temporary traffic lights were on the course, many options were looked into, such a changing the course. None of these were practical so it was decided that we would ride the original course, but with an additional time keeper at the traffic lights. This time keeper recorded how long each rider was stopped – and this has been suntracted from their time. The time subtracted, typically a few seconds only, is also shown.

The morning of the 15/3/15 was a cold morning, about 5 degrees C. The race had many favouites, Rob Pears, Tavis Walker, and Chris Birch have all won in recenet years. Dean Robsons recent form has also been phenominal. No one knew how to call it between these four.

In the end, Rob Pears won out (as he has done most often) winning both the overall and the on target competition. Dean Robson came second, with Tavis in 3rd. Derek Smetham, after taking last year off racing, returned this year to come 4th.

1st Woman was Joanna Knight, from Bristol South. A new name in the district – its good to see new names appearing.  In the target competition, after Rob came Steven Cottington, followed by Derek Smetham, with Rick Johnston in 4th. The best team was VC Walcot with James & Charles Coleman and David Janes.

With the cold conditions, and a headwind across the exposed high moorland on the circuit, no course records were set. Collecting times from the time keeper, riders were making all kind of stage noises on the short roll back to the HQ. The cold is clearly not the best of weathers to race in.
