2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted March 22, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 22, 2017 Tuesday 28th March is the start of this year's Chocolate Series of Time Trials. The first four running on Tuesday evenings up 18th April, with the rest scheduled for later in the season. For those unfamiliar with what the Chocolate Series is about, here is a link to an explanation: The Story of the Chocolate Trophy http://www.johnstone-wheelers.co.uk/thebunch/index.php?/topic/54-the-chocolate-trophy-by-jim-kennovin-past-president/ The route is from the Inchinnan end of Georgetown Road, around the large roundabout at Houston and back to the start, just over 7 miles. Here is a link to the course:http://www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/663229298 Riders with a time for 10 miles of less than 26 minutes don't qualify for the Chocolate Trophy, but there is a trophy for sub 26 minute riders, so there is something for everyone to compete for! This is a handicapped series, so it's not always the fastest rider that takes the trophy, however, there are TT league points available for the quicker riders. First rider off at 18:30, meet at 18:15. As always, volunteers for timekeeping and holding are required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Gerard Deeley Posted March 27, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Parents night at the school for me now, clearly an unacceptable situation. Surely as the chair of the parent council I should get some sort of preferential treatment? I will be found somewhere in a huff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted March 28, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 It turned out to be better weather than forecast with the rain holding off until after the event. Six riders took part and the results were: Ian A. 16:22 Alex B. 17:03 Ian McG. 17:26 Jess M. 17:43 Paul L. 17:45 Alan T. 18:15 Well done to all. All the riders paid, so £18 for club funds. We found a Mini-Pump on the verge after the event tonight, any claims in writing please! Gerard Deeley and James 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted March 28, 2017 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Guys, if you have a PB for this course that wasn't set in the chocolate series, can you let me know please. Otherwise, I'll use your best posted time from the last three years to calculate TT league points. I'll also use your best 10 time in the same period for chocolate series points. If you don't have a best 10 time (Jesse, Alex) I'll use a standard time of 26 minutes. Finally, I need Jesse's surname for the spreadsheet.

Ta I've not done a 10 Alan so have no time and Jesse's surname is Victoria Thanks to Jane, Graham and James for timebkeeping, pushing off and general support! Thanks to Alan for keeping the rain at bay (another 10 minutes next time please!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions AlanT Posted March 28, 2017 Author 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 A tough old night on the Georgetown. Well done to Jesse on her first effort on this course, and a great time, and thanks to Graham and Jane for doing their bit. I had actually ordered rain for the night, it was in fact late in arriving.

2023 Subscriptions GrahamF Posted March 28, 2017 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 Alan, Jess gave her surname as Mitchell. I think Alex is having a bad day for names - I'm sure Karen wasn't there but Jane took care to write down the full names of all the participants, I just abbreviated them for the results post.
