Vipers 10 - Rounds 16 and 17

Butcher, Charles, and Thurlow lock horns for final battle

Round 16 handicap win went to Gary Charles with a PB, while Debbie Coyle doubled up on wins in the Vets and Female TT. Pablo Beale set a PB, as did Will Barlow who won the juniors, while Isabel Beale took max points in the juvenile.

Round 17 saw a shortened single lap course due to roadworks, starting and finishing either side of an apparently pointless barrier. 

Mark Thurlow rode a storming road bike win by 40 seconds, while Gary Charles topped the Handicap table for the second week in a row, second was John Butcher in second. Kevin Baumber went fastest on Open TT and Vets. New recruit and future star Max Leinemann took the juvenille category in fine style.

John Butcher is top of a tight three way battle in the Handicap Competition averaging 46.1 ahead of Gary Charles (45.5) and Mark Thurlow (45.1)
