The weather forecast for Wednesday the 2nd of March was not to good. This must have been the reason that some people decided to stay home for round 6 of the ITT summer series. For the 29 riders who did came out the weather was not bad at all except for a strong breeze. This breeze made it hard to ride PB’s only 4 riders managed to do so Emily Shearman, Leyton Gapper, Tom Pirie and Alex Denholm. With his PB Alex is the sole leader with a maximum of 12 points. Except for Rebecca Denholm we had a new crew of Helpers Thanks Grant Shearman and Marie Richardson. Very much appreciated.
