Hammond Memorial TT

    So after the earlier postponing of the Hammond road race (I'd been looking forward to it all season!), Orwell are instead running a 32.5km TT on Saturday September 14th as the Hammond Memorial event this year.

    As befitting a trophy which was originally awarded for a 50 mile time trial, this year the Hammond Memorial is taking shape as a rolly TT around the hills of Wicklow. This will be the route: www.mapmyride.com/routes/view/271896017.

    Sign-on is in Roundwood GAA club (the usual place), from 08.30-09.15, with first rider off at 09.30.

    The prize list will be finalised closer to the date, but there will be prizes for each category. We are also working with CI to have the top finishers awarded grading points, but this is still in progress.

    Hope to see lots of boardsies there!

    Updated with prize list: http://www.orwellwheelers.org/racing/20-open-racing/534-hammond-tt-2013.html

    As well as the Noel Hammond memorial trophy for the winner of the A1/A2 race, and the Kieran Hammond memorial trophy for the winner of the A3 race, prizes will be awarded as follows:

    1st six overall
    1st six unplaced A2s
    1st six A3s
    1st six A4s
    1st three Juniors
    1st Lady (only one prize as we expect a small turnout due to the Rás)

    CI say no grading points though, we were hoping to persuade them otherwise, but rules is rules.

    Just a bump to remind people that this is happening this weekend. Long range weather forecast is looking alright - not much wind, overcast. Long way off of course...

    Nay, I'm at Rás na mBan for weekend. Otherwise I'd be marshalling, or perhaps riding.
