It gives me great pleasure to announce #SherwoodSuccess in the VTTA 25 mile Time Trial this afternoon despite Chris Draper failing to make an appearance. Mat Stonley (Charlie Charlie) 56:30 Giles White 56:42 Paul Jones 1:00:38 Roger Widdowson 1:04:46 (Unofficial time) Conditions on the course were poor with persistent rain causing poor visibility at times but the hardy ones soldered on. Out of 120 starters, 52 failed to start or started and gave up.
The fastest three Sherwood riders did outstanding rides given the conditions. Mat performing to the second as predicted by Mystic Rog. Giles having a strong ride. Paul coming 3rd with a bitter sweet performance which, although a personal best by some 3 minutes, failed to beat the hour which was his target. The result gave Sherwood their first Team win in a long time with a VTTA Standard time of +29:00 and therefore £30 for each of the fastest three. A great end to the season. Paul, you owe Chris Draper a pint!! #BOOM #ROLLON2019SEASON
well done lads good rides one and all
Good to see some enthusiasm for racing again. Mat is now showing the form we thought him capable of. Great rides by all. Pity Chris forgot his shoes!
CTT website says Mat's time was 56:50 not 56:30.
Looks like they cocked it up then on the Results board. It was definitely 56:30 on the board. His Strava us 56:47 so impossible to argue as it is dependant on how he uses that at the start.
