Flat n Fast

Tonight saw the first of the flat & fast, TT's in the 10's series, which usually means fast times and a good field of riders.
Despite the unseasonable cold conditions which saw hail, sleet, snow and rain today, a good field turned out.
Fortune favored the brave with zero wind, sun and drying roads to give some excellent racing. Standout times this evening came from Juniors Adam Hartley &  Lewis Hartley of VCUK Inspire.

Next weeks round 4 of the club 10's - Milnthorpe
