There were a few other non-starters who sent their apologies.
The standard times for Nicky, Freddy Landon and Tristan Staney-Carey are uncorrected - they rode the Penny (of course), a MTB and a Single-speed. Applying a 10% MTB allowance would give Freddy a +4:43 and Nicky's correction for the Penny would give her a +7:17. These are just given as a matter on interest.
Sadly, the Penny will be disappearing, along with Nicky to Darwin next week. We'll miss them but it's been great to see them back together after such a long lapse.
Coach-Lorraine was looking after the timing hutch today and again had given Bec her instructions. But it was Anna who first held the new women's record. Long enough to get a taste for it perhaps, she had it for 3min 46.5sec until Bec came through and lowered the mark by another 43sec - 2min 52 in all! And we haven't seen the last of the record-taking yet, it seems, as the next Hilly is only just before folk head off across to the Nationals next month. Cameron looked to be suffering a bit in the heat but there are plenty of us who wouldn't mind sharing 45km/h suffering. But maybe another day? Cam actually rode Lap one at 47.4km/h.
It certainly wasn't a doddle out there today - the number of DNFs is testament to that alone but a look at some of the blowouts amongst the laps times provides further evidence. Nevertheless we still saw some PBs recorded; although only a handful. John Innes and Owen Jones were presumably desperate to get to their Xmas party and it looks like John could have got there almost 4min ahead of Owen and maybe got all the cake. But Ken Portman made close to a 3min dent in his previous time with Alan Flanders not very far behind.
The riders weren't the only ones having a testing time out there - Susie had her work cut out looking after the helper-crew while also keeping an eye on the desk and having previously signed the course. However Carolyn Equid was another pair of very capable hands at 'the desk' (with some extra help from her domestique - sorry Dave) and she also found occasion while doing that to revive the occasional rider who had succumbed to heat-stress. Thanks Rudy, for ensuring a good and necessary supply of drinks and ice. Pimmie spent the better part of two hours out in the sun counting backwards from five, while out on the corners in order of approach were Cam Berg, Phil Gyford, Brad Woodbrook, Phil Parr and Allen Gunther with, lastly, John Impey and Andrew Coltrona sharing the task at the turn into the finish. It was job not made any easier by a few riders in need of remedial schooling in cornering skills.
We are sufficiently far into the new season that no further reminders will be given: disqualification is the next step. Please remember that you are the person primarily responsible for your own safety and that the presence of marshals does NOT relieve you of this responsibility. There were reports of a few near misses out there as the result of some pretty incautious riding.
