Diamond HF 10-mile TT. Whilst some members were testing themselves at the quick Southmoor course, four City members faced the time keeper in the Diamond-hf open 10 on the fast U47 course (near Cricklade) in what can only be described as far from perfect conditions, with the brisk cold north wind hurting on the entire "upslope" return leg.
Mark Jones continues his good early season form by placing in the top 3 for his 2nd event running, with only 6 seconds separating the top 3. All four riders returned season PBs:
Mark Jones 21:21 3rd
Clive Thomas 22:58 19th
Paul Allday 24:38 56th
Keith Williams 27:17 78th
