Thursday Night Report

The ABES Grand Prix continued with the Altona Time Trials last night.  Riders departed at 2 minute intervals and raced 2 laps around town.  After 20 km’s, only 10 seconds seperated 3^rd from 5^th, Evan and Bruce found alternative routes that may have helped one but did not help the other, and the wild card factors on race times included inattentive dog walkers, cyclists and motorists and coming to complete stops at every stop sign (as is the law).  After tabulating the results and retabulating the results and changing them again thanks to the honosty of Mike, the results were:

1^st - Johnny – 32:45

2^nd - Mike – 33:55

3^rd - Evan – 35:07

4^th - Steve – 35:11

5^th - Shaun – 35:17

6^th - Bruce – 36:11

7^th - Duke – 37:15

8^th - David – “38:10”

9^th - Brian – 38:53

10^th - Tom – 40:45

11^th - Paul W – 41:56

12^th - James – 42:00
