Thanks Laura Shannon for taking photos during the event! Thanks also to the trustworthy volunteers who ran the time trial - Mark Manners, Peter Tregunno, Jess Raymond, Michel Bernier and Alex McKnight.

Despite winds gusting up to 49km/h from the south and west that increased as the time trial proceeded, making the last kilometer particularly difficult, 20 out of the 29 who had ridden an earlier OTT event in 2019 improved upon their previous season series best. The justification for these improvements was that the air pressure was low at 100kPa abd the temperature, though still far from balmy, was the warmest of the season at 19.8°C. Five of the younger or more inexperienced riders even managed to improve upon their 15km previous database best. Here is a graph showing how those of tonight's riders who have at two OTT results thus far this season are doing, and here is a graph showing the results until now of the riders who improved upon their previous database best.
