Thank you to all my helpers/ controllers on the day, Lurcio, Mr T, mmmmartin, Mr P, A, and E, good to see EL Supremo on monitoring duty and a big thank you to K & S plus the Café which was 1st class for their first ever event
Weather, was spot on sunny with 7+ C with a few showers throw in for the latter kms, washing velos and roads down. The preceding 10 days weather spell was all but a distant memory, but Hills and Mills will be changing dates for the 2018 season, this is currently in the pipeline.
It has been touch and go for most of the last 10 years that this event has been run, (blame global warming).
Thank you for supporting the January version, but this 2AAA points event held in cooler conditions with sheltered lanes (no option of main roads here) will be moved and we are looking for more stable weather conditions, possibly in the Autumn without clashing with established events.. (Martin when will MSH and Hillier be in the 2018 calendar please).
Riders, good to see the regulars and well done to the virgins with at least 4 being successful with their 1st brevet.
See you on Mad Jacks JSM on the 25th February. (No plans to move this event for the 2018 season, but this is subject to weather conditions).
