Fabulous day out. Well done to Iain Couttie getting placed in the TT this morning. No idea how the fast boys got on in the racing this afternoon.

4 of us set out from club rooms at 08.15 this morning, we met Allan Michael and Iain mcginty at the 09.30 ferry. Good show from the jets as well, I was well pleased with my 21.53 on a breezy course littered with tourist cyclists. We retired to a pub for some refreshments, then went to watch the last three laps of the road race. Then a quick dive to the ferry and the train home.

Weather couldn't have been better, and the hospitality was excellent. Well done to everyone who took part.

Well done to Paul McDonald grabbing a fifth place in the V40 category. It looked pretty tough slogging up that rise where we waved our beers at you.

 

Once again, a great day out, we really couldn't have asked for better weather and the course was pretty good too.

Well that was the hardest thing I have done on a bike so far but loved it. Could not believe the pace of the riders and ended up on my own personal time trial. Thanks to Ian Coutie for the encouragement at the top of the hill, on last lap I was pedalling squares. Not so much thanks to Ginty and the two Alan's, drinking cold beers while others are suffering, mental torture. Thanks to Mark O, Paul. Billy, Charlie and all others who offered kind words at start and end. Knackered, burnt and aching in places I did not know existed but I'll be back for more.

 

Cheers. Iain
