Inaugural Time Trial

Brilliantly organised by Dom, now the proud holder of almost as many stopwatches as bikes (we will reimburse you for the former, Dom), Eleven of us (Frances was the photographer) took to the guided busway for a timed 4 mile run heading towards Westwick and back again. The French call it the Race of Truth and the times tell no lies:
Ken 13 mins 57 secs. = 17 mph
Dave Snr. 13 mins 17 secs. = 18 mph
Nigel 13 mins 00 secs. = 18.5 mph
Dave Jnr. 12 mins 30 secs = 19.2 mph
Paul 12 mins. 15 secs = 19.6 mph
Frances 12 mins 04 secs = 19.9 mph
Les 12 mins 01 secs = 20 mph (appeal pending - could have been just under 12)
Kev 11 mins 54 secs = 20.17 mph
Robin 11 mins 52 secs = 20.22 mph
Tom 11 mins 10 secs = 21.5 mph
Dom 10 mins 21 secs = 23.2 mph
So Dom has set the standard (who'd've thought??), and we are definitely all looking forward to at least beating our PBs next time, which hopefully will be soon.
Almost as important, we all went back for a drink or three in the garden of the Duke, joined by Jo, Carolyn and Liz, and got nicely recuperated.
