A nice video of the CW Open TT this last Saturday morning on the G10/57 A264 course - including quite a lot from the infamous new roundabout.

Doesn't look too bad in the sunshine at 0700 on a Saturday morning.

Thoughts on their entry list/scoresheet versus our Open TT the previous Saturday:

 

1) 65 starters c.f 50 entrants at our event

2) No RCC entrants c.f. no CW entrants in our event

3) 6 CW entrants c.f. 5 RCC out of 50.

4) 6 Women entrants c.f. 26 out of 50.

 

There's seems to be some sort off parity between the two events with the big exception of No 4). 

Why this difference? Is it:-

 - the good feedback from our event last year about the warm and friendliness of the organisers/marshals etc :-) (from SEWTTS?)

 - or the more sociable start time of our event (1pm versus 0630)

 - or does the G2/57 course put them off? (13 roundabouts on a dual carriageway)

 - or???

 

Whatever it is - don't change anything!
