12 riders faced the timekeeper’s 5.4.3.2.1 GO ! at the first East Devon ‘Evening Ten’ of the year on the Honiton Club Course. A gentle southerly wind neither helped nor hindered the riders, and the chilly air made for a not overly fast night.
Elite local roadman George Kimber (Spirit), off at number ten, gobbled up many a rider who started ahead of him, and ran out winner on 21.37. Not far off that time was newcomer to the area Luke Osborne (Banbridge CC), riding his first event in the south-west after a recent move here, on 21.51. Luke is going to be feeling his way into the local TT scene in the weeks ahead; his 3rd place in the Ulster TT Championships and 8th place in the Irish National TT Championships give some idea of his pedigree.
Top Exeter Wheeler on the night was James Greenaway, with a good ride of 26.27.
Thanks go to Exeter Wheelers volunteers Sally Hutter, Mike Rose, Ann Owens, Didier Lebatteux and Aaron Lawrence for running the event.
The next in the series will take place Wednesday 15th May, when CS Dynamo will be the organisers (thank you CSD).
