I've done the handicapping now, as we have the Halford Trophy for the best Club Rider on handicap.
Not easy, as there is little form to go on.

I think Kevin will work it out soon. I think it is close, but I'd say Giles just gets it by about 0.09mph.
Normally the Short BAR is based on the average of the best 3 speeds over 10, Circuit TT (20 miles) and 25 miles in Club Events. With the Lighthouse being the only "Club 25" being shortened to 17 miles, it seems reasonable to use that instead of 25. Giles was faster over 10 and Circuit TT and Chris faster in the Lighthouse.
All subject to confirmation of course!

I couldn't tell from the rules whether the club open 10 results are included in the short BAR.

It is just Club 10s, not Opens. Makes it fairer as the Open is a faster course.
The ANDCC counts as a "Club Event" as it is Club Champs and we no longer have a Club 25.
The Bingham cyclo cross is next Saturday - 19th October. Any offers of help would be appreciated, or you may want to go along to have a look. if you want to help out setting up the course, you need to be there at 7.30as the course needs to be ready for the first race at 10am.
Racing starts with the U9s at 10am, then U12’s, and U 16s. There’s a separate women’s race this year and also races for Veterens (over 40s), and the Senior and Junior race starting around 2pm. Se. The NDCXL website for more info.
It's finally HOME! After 9 years in the barren wastelands of the A25/2, Team Sherwood rode to a comfortable victory and turned round its fortunes. In tough conditions, the riders produced the following results of which the first 5 fastest counted. Thomas Foreman 56:00 PB by 2 minutes Giles White 59:09 Jez Willows 59:59 PB by 2 minutes 39 seconds Chris Draper 1:00:04 Paul Jones 1:02:51 Gary Kondor 1:04:48 Roger Widdowson 1:06:29 PB by 2 minutes 22 seconds Paul Ward 1:11:11 Howard Clark DNF
I think it's fair to say given some of the comments that Mapperley have been known to pass over recent years that we gave them just deserts. Some would argue perhaps that they didn't have their main man in the event. Despite this, we still took 4:58:03 to cover the aggregate 125 miles compared to their effort of 5:02:40 some 4 minutes 37 seconds in arrears. Whichever way you look at it, we were going to win today and Tom's ride, in particular, was nothing short of astounding being only 29 seconds behind Neal Parkin ! Truly an incredible ride but this takes a team effort and everyone in the winning mix has remained focussed despite the season having finished 4 weeks ago. Also, Paul Jones damaged his knee at work last week. I damaged my knee in Derbyshire 4 weeks ago. Analysing the information, if Garry Lee (their slowest rider) had DNF'd and Pete Phillips (their overall slowest) had have taken a place in their team and Tom Foreman had DNF'd and Gary Kondor taken 5th place, only then would we have lost by 4 seconds. Rather than me surmising about theoretical whys and wherefores, here's their times so you have revel, sorry I mean, do your own analysis of what could have been. The losing teams times:- Steve Barrell - 57:49 Mat Stonley - 58:09 Stephen Long - 1:00:08 Michael Westwell - 1:03:01 Garry Lee - 1:03:33 Pete Phillips - 1:07:40 Hopefully something good will come of this win. Organisation wise it sadly lacked. One of the Mapperley riders took my number and I collared the rider on the start line. It was only Stephen Long. I told him to go and get his number changed which in hindsight I shouldn't have done and he may well have been DQ'd for taking the wrong number. Mapperley seem to be going through a 'transient' period. We're not quite sure what's going on. The organiser wasn't actually there so it was left to Paul Arnold and Stephen Plester to do their best and in the circumstances they didn't do too bad. If it was left to Paul Arnold, it would have been run with military precision. There were two signing on - signing off sheets. Historically, Sherwood first won the trophy in 1953 and then again in 1955 and then not until 2003 where we had a spate of consecutive wins under Nigel White's command if you like. ALL HAIL KING TOM!
Only a field of 35 and over a quarter (9) are Sherwood! The event counts as the Club Championship and the handicap winner gets the Halford Trophy. The "one rider, one trophy" rule applies so the Club Champion cannot win the Halford Trophy. Acorn Points are also awarded. It is very difficult to handicap as there is little 25 miles form to go on, so I've based it on the Evening Tens. Gary Kondor 6:40 Paul Jones 2:05 Chris Draper 1:00 Howard Clark 17:00 Tom Foreman Scratch Paul Ward 9:10 Jez Willows 1:40 Giles White 0:50 Roger Widdowson 7:30 The Lighthouse Trophy goes to the best team of 5 riders. Mapperley are the only other Club with sufficient numbers. They only have 6 entered, so there is a chance Sherwood could win - and then we would have to run it next year!
