Following on from the Restricted Gear TT, this is the first of 2 Langbank Hillys at the beginning of the season, with a further one scheduled near the end.

 

The start is in Langbank, just along from The Wheelhouse restaurant. The course runs up the B789 all the way to the small roundabout in the middle of Houston, where you turn and re-trace most of the way back to Langbank. The end of the course cuts off to the left before the last steep section and finishes at the entrance to Gleddoch Country Club.

 

Here is a link to the route: http://www.mapmyride.../view/650383978

 

An undulating course, reasonably quiet road for those yet to do their first TT, open to those who intend to join the club or are already a member.

 

As usual we need 2 volunteers for pushing off and timekeeping.  Alex B. has already offered to help, so that's just one more volunteer required please to 'show him the ropes'.

 

The Championship will be decided based on the results of all the TTs on the route in the season with 20, 15 & 10 points awarded for each 1st, 2nd & 3rd place achieved.  The competitor with the most points will be the winner.

Six riders on a beautiful still day. Paul L and I "responsible" for time keeping and pushing off.

 

Well done to all that took part.

Like all great athletes the event appeared to be followed by a cool down run - to the cafe in Bridge of Weir!

Felt like a hard day today in cold, dry and pretty still conditions. Thanks to Paul and Alex for timing and pushing.

Recovery scone in Bernies cafe was just ace.

And 27.51 is a massive PB, nearly a minute faster than last year.
