We had 35 riders in this month’s segment of the month competition, which means that we’ve changed the points structure to give points to the top 20 (previously top 15). It’s good to see the added competition, as well as more youth joining the competition.
In the U16 female, Izzy Hall did well to play her joker: she came first and gained 10 extra bonus points. Emma Harrison came in second. Emma still tops the season results, though, thanks to competing across two months.
Izzy Hall’s time was also the fastest overall female, beating, Sophie Sellars into second, with Wendy Knowlton taking third. Just three points separate the top three women: Sophie Sellars leads the group, followed by Jen Dawson and Debbie Hallett.
The U16 male competition is tight. Niclas Olley was the fastest this month, with George Connell coming in second, followed by Myles Ward. George heads the overall standings by one point from Niclas; this one may come down to who plays their joker best.
In the male all comers competition, Andy Gardiner ensured first place by setting a new KoM. Jon Hall played a strategic joker with his second place, which he also shared with Joey Wynne. Jeremy Hubbard took the last spot on the podium. This leaves Andy leading Jeremy and Aaron Barry in the overall standings.
Full results are viewable here.
This month we go to the Tytherleys for Coach road going west. The climbers can take a rest, as the power riders come out to play on a 2 km pan flat extravaganza.
It’s never too late to join the fun. For information on how to join in, read the document here. And if you want to play your joker, you have 48 hours remaining, as it needs to be sent in by the end of Saturday. Good luck!
