With better weather this week and a drying wind our numbers were back up, compared with last week's rather wet 25 mile TT. It was good to see the top 5 Wheelers only separated by a minute and once again Matt Chapple taking club honours on a road bike. Paul is blaming the extra camera weight to get shots of Owen overtaking him and then trying to keep up so he could get a shot of the S-bends (which he failed to do) as the reason for him being off the pace.

and then Owen powers past on his new 1x build and 55T.
