An unseasonably sunny and pleasant day, with a largely helpful breeze on the three main tops, made for very fine running conditions on a varied course with a little bit of something for everyone. Looks like 2nd Open Men's, 3rd MV40s and 1st MV50s team, plus 2nd MU23 for Tom Saville and 2nd MV50 for Dave Taylor. The carshare team prize probably goes to Dave Sykes, Dave Lund, Keith Holmes, Jim Paxman and myself ... unless we receive a better bid ... and Jim P just about retains his place at the top of the league, with Dave L only a couple of points behind. The League organiser was relieved to finally offload the Honorary Women's Trophy to Jordanthorpe High School alumnus Dave S, and things might have been better still had Keith not espied me sneaking up on him at the first summit, whereupon he set off downhill at a canter, not to be seen again. Oh, and whilst I'd like to think it was the lure of the Carshare League that brought so many brown vests out to play, it's just possible that the British Championship billing also had a certain attraction for many at the sharp end. Another race well worth adding to your list if you've not done it.
