2 Up TT provides some surprise for all

So who mentioned it was a 10 mile TT?? I am sure you arrived fully prepared to do the Dundrum Line 10m TT course but with a stroke of luck the course had been made slightly longer to 15 miles. With this last minute shock still sinking in it was time to start.

The Magowans have had their eye on this 2 Up competition and they stamped their authority on it with an awesome ride to produce a fastest time of the night at 36:19. The second fastest time of the night was fought out between Zak Hanna/Michael Cassidy  and David Dickson/Matthew Gibson with Zak and Michael shading it.

The Mixed 2 Up competition is hotting up with Graham Beckett/Martina H leading the way after Lisa left her partner on the line looking at a flat.

The Ladies competition is also proving a tight affair with Ruth Beckett/Beverley Pierson taking the fastest time.

Many thanks to the volunteers:
Timekeepers – Emma J and Ronnie S
Marshals – Richard C (Chief marshal), Trevor B, John S, Gavin O (Phoenix CC), Neil A, Barry K, Graham S

With a slight shortage of marshals the turn marshal was changed to a cone….not a small cone. Here is the cone:

Matthew Gibson completely missed it  deciding to head down the road, Paul Gick also missed it, Aaron Watson pointed at it agreed it was the turn and then went past it and finally while explaining to Gavin that I dont understand how anyone could miss the cone  Gavin announces “was there a cone at the turn”. I despair.

The results for the TT are below:
