Bontrager 24-12 Newnham Park


The oldies vs the Pitsford pups
So did brawn win over experience.......and who is who in that title anyway?

early results

9th The Plumz old uns Number 643 15 laps

Going into the last hour we were 11th place which was the highest we had been for all the 12 hours
with a slow relaxed start due to track carnage, then a steady movement up the ranks despite two punctures for jack. Then in the last two laps, solid rides from Bob and finally jack moved them up to 9th place. Well chuffed and even lapped the young uns, believe it or not while tom was in the toilet at the mid race track disco setup in the woods..he he.

(1) 01:01:02, (2) 00:37:24, (3) 00:52:45, (4) 00:41:45, (5) 00:56:30

(11) 00:43:53, (12) 01:01:53, (13) 00:48:49, (14) 01:28:27

P.s. about those lap times, looks like everyone in the race got an hour lap time given for the first lap, then the second lap corrects this for the time for the two laps....so the second lap time is stupidly fast and not correct which is a shame.
