2023 Event 3: Stourport, Sunday 14th May

With a points table for the event at https://www.bhpc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/Events/2023/03/stourport.html

And I've updated the overall championship table at https://www.bhpc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/Events/2023/BHPC_2023.html

(Thanks for the GPX, Russell)

Points distribution is 70:30:0, with the clockwise time trial only being for fun, so getting nul points.

The only thing that's obviously dodgy is a missed tag read for Stuart Glen's Lap 9 in the 30min race, I don't think he stopped or anything, did he?

The time trial results suffer from person-with-two-watches issues.  I've gone with the times from the laptop in preference to the stopwatch, as the camera gives us frame-accurate finishes (but the start time is still down the the usual human error).

I haven't sanity-checked the arithmetic or anything; the merge process went smoothly, so I hope it's okay.  I'm going to take my bruises to bed and have another look at it tomorrow.

Good morning,

I didn't stop at all and my lap times were mostly consistent, for me that's +or- 5 seconds. I did have a slow lap towards the end when I came across a helmetless rider on an elctric trike almost stationary at the hairpin and had to slow to avoid him and lost momentum going up the hill. Strava shows I did 9.44 miles, which is 11 laps and average speed of 15.7 if that helps. My tags are the original ones so over 5 years old, if it happens again I might need new ones next season.

Thanks to Heather, Kim et al who managed to rescue victory from the jaws of defeat and produce a good race. Sorry we left early but Rob's knee was playing up, and we decided that Bromptons are too twitchy for track racing! Made up for it with real ale and steam engines at the Severn Valley Railway.

Hope you all have a good season and see you again at Hillingdon in October.

Stuart
