Championship 25 tonight and the conditions were as good
as you get, warm with hardly a whisper of wind.
Arthur and Keith were riding and we were also honoured with the presence
of Wellheld. He was kitted out and appeared ready to race, YES ready to
race.
Although his pink 'T' shirt didn't have 'Phoenix C.C. Aintree' across the
middle the number 9 was clearly visible so he WAS serious and about to race.
As usual Wellheld had forgotten his specs, and so he took along a timepiece
he could read without the need for his bin lids. See photo below
Rumor had it that we were expecting another celebrity racer, but in the
heat of the moment he changed his mind (some might call it something else,
perhaps to do with bottling) but not me,no.
It was a tough race, pushing hard with no help from the wind anywhere on
the course, unusual because we almost always detect the wind at some point
on the circuit.
Without doubt a hero, his first 25 in countless years Wellheld put in a
remarkable ride on his road bike with a time of 1:05:22. Arthur put in a
great ride of 59:12 but he is still expecting more from his new frame. I
was not disappointed with my time of 1:04:32.
There was a new kid on the block, R.Handley, he's not in our club but certainly
worth a mention because he had a great ride and finished with a time of
53:58.
