Ah yes.  That got un-highlighted when I turned off auto-correction for the long lap where you had a puncture.  I've looked at the video, and Andrew S is doing an excellent job of occluding the aerial with his carbon fairing as you pass.

(Actually going to bed now, will upload again tomorrow.)

Thanks Kim, for doing all the good things and so quickly.

Alan, you weren’t particularly holding me up in the corners (I slowed others more). It was just noticeable that you could have had more fun in the corners with a little more trust that the greater weight and wheelbase of a tandem could let you bomb through safely.

Many thanks for the advice afterwards! More practice needed but tandems are great fun and I’d definitely recommend having a go to anyone that hasn’t tried one.

Right, I've fixed Lee's missed read, and done a bit of name aliasing.

For your viewing pleasure, I present Sunday's photo finishes:

First is Liam narrowly beating Lee in round 1...



Then in the second round, we have Judith about a chainset ahead of Mal...


And finally Dan and Aiden, which is so close we decided it was a tie...


Anyone who'd appreciate parallax-free photo finishes can vote for my proposal that the club purchase a dedicated weatherproof camera that can straddle the finish line at the AGM...

I fully support the purchase of a camera for photo finishes, along with a suitable tripod for it if we don't already have one.

Plus a rotary laser level to produce a vertical wall of green light aligned with the finish line.

A red/green rotary level could even be used as the start line as well. Maybe turn up the power a little to cut through the tyres of false-starters LOL.
