Many thanks to the stalwarts of Exeter Wheelers for running tonight’s Evening Ten; Sally Hutter, Ken Evans, Mike Rose, Jack Dallyn, Didier Lebatteux, Ann Owens, Andy Webb and Ian Moore.
The wait for a nice helpful easterly wind continues; such a wind would provide riders on the East Devon Evening Tens course with two wind-assisted legs versus one wind-hampered leg rather than the other way round. Tonight was another case of
The west wind doth blow
and we shall have slow
times.
Fastest on the night was a two-up of Lubos Obornik and George Kimber, with 22.08, which would’ve been faster if the former hadn’t had a dropped chain. Aidan King continued his good form, a 23.05 on a road bike in less than ideal conditions. James Greenaway of Exeter Wheelers went well again, an equal third spot with the consistent Jimmy Richards of Pure Endurance, both of them on 24.18.
Last week week Tim Fowler (EWCC) punctured during the race, this week at least he finished the ‘ten’ before puncturing on the ride back to Exeter – hope the tube change and the rest of the journey went okay Tim.
It was good to see that we had a good turn out of female riders – and a reminder to all of you that the last East Devon Evening Ten in the series will be a Females and Juniors only event, to take place on the 17th of July, so please spreads the word…
Apologies if I have Bettina’s surname wrong, or indeed anyone else’s – drop me an email at to supply me with any corrections in that respect.
and maybe next week that east wind will blow….
An updated league table will be posted here tomorrow evening, meanwhile here are tonight’s results in full:
