Witchel-craft at the TT...
N.B Next TT – Thursday 24th August: Sign on 6.45 (at the latest) for a 7.00 pm start
TT Results for 17th August 2017
With only 2 TTs left in the 2017 season we welcomed 22 riders ready to test themselves on the challenging 11.2 mile Abottsley course. Conditions were dry but overcast at the start for the riders, and congratulations to James, Simon and Paul for posting the only PBs on the night.
We had two young guest riders this evening and at 22 they certainly brought the average age dow,n and congratulations to Michael Witchel with the fastest time of 25:02. Tom Weir from Hitchin Nomads posted a 28:13 after taking a wrong turn and getting himself off route and then back on again. A very old friend of the club, Andy Bright, who used to race the previous SNCC TT course on the A1 many years ago joined us this evening.
In second place and fastest SNCC rider was James followed in third place by our evergreen veteran Pat only nine seconds from a PB. Good to see old regulars Simon Rinaldo and Chris Green back in action this evening. Simon Elkington posted his 11th PB of the season to open up a 50 point lead at the top of the 2017 Handicap Trophy competition and it would be fair to say that Simon has at least one hand on the Trophy for this year.
The only thing missing this evening was Mandy and her wonderful array of cakes and we look forward to seeing Mandy back with us next week. Our thanks to Colin and John for setting up all the signs, organising the riders, pushing off and recording all the times on our behalf.
Average time on the night was 30:50 and average number at the TT’s is 21 for the season with over 60 riders taking part so far in 2017.
REMEMBER EARLY SIGN ON AT 6.45pm next week

Handicap Results
A quick reminder that for the Handicap Trophy points are awarded for all number of riders on the night less Guests and First Time Members. So tonight 19 riders and 16 points on offer. A Handicap Time of 25 minutes or less means that you have either matched your PB or improved on it.
A handicap time > 25 minutes shows how much you missed your PB by. To be in contention for points you need to ride close to your PB or improve on it.
Congratulations to Simon for taking the maximum points on the evening.
