There was one new rider to welcome tonight - Heidi Ploeg from Wisonsin who was up to visit her family and to do a fourth-placed fast 39.852 km/h ride - or, in American-speak, about 24.76 mph. The top four riders finished in less than 23 minutes tonight, and the first three were quicker than 40 km/h.
With nice low air pressure but the winds a little higher than ideal, two women improved upon their previous database best for 15km and seven women improved upon their previous 2008 WTT best. The most improved in both of these regards was Alison Ingham, who was very happy with her new machine! Her previous database best had been 25:16 on 2006-Jun-01, a minute and 5 seconds slower. The only other person to improve upon her database best was Alison James, out for her second ride this season and her third ever OBC time trial. The second most improved in terms of earlier 2008 WTT performances, with a more than 9% increase in her cube-speed, was Barbara Wilson, who joked afterwards that she had been "harassed" by the passing Sandra Bender for still riding her heavy, old bike in this year in which so many of us have upgraded our equipment.
