SIR DUO TT 2019
Despite 80% probability of rain in the morning, the clouds stayed away and the inaugural SIR Duo TT "training ride" went ahead as planned. A total of ten teams and two solo riders showed up.
Rupert and Jane, also on road bikes, took advantage of years of riding together and took the next place, finishing about a minute ahead of the other mixed team, Bo and Christina. Andrew and Niek finished just over a minute later and not long after that, Cora and Jen took the womens team title with a 41:59! There were also strong rides from Alex and Boomer who ended up riding solo on the day.
A big thanks to Matthew Macpherson (son of Andrew) who took lots of great pictures of the event (see below).
