TT Results for 31st March
The 2026 season started last night. Eighteen riders enjoyed a warm sunny evening on the five mile course.
The first event of the year is a good indicator of how well the winter training has faired. Several riders remarked on how pleased they were with their times.
The change in weather certainly inspired riders to come along and a strong contingent from Wincanton Wheelers was no exception, fielding six riders.
Shawn Gray, Gillingham and District Wheelers, was fastest on both actual and age adjusted times. Josh Gray, Team Tor 2000, was the quickest rider on a road bike. Wiebke Rietz, 1st Chard Wheelers, was the quickest lady.
Next week's event is the first of this year's 'Come and Try It' events. Which means that not only are they free to enter but you are not required to be a club member of a CTT affiliated club. HQ is the Davis Hall at West Camel. The start time is 6:30pm, riders must sign on before 6:20pm at the HQ. It is a five mile event on a quiet road through RNAS Yeovilton, turning on the Northover roundabout in Ilchester.
Why not come along and try it?
