21 November 2019A small but keen group of Ravens turned out today on a chilly but clear day. They ran to see Phil Priest marshalling at the turnaround in his usual vest, laugh at him shivering, and run back again. And in some good times too. First home again was Jon Pontin running about 10 seconds quicker than last month. Results are as follows:Pos # Name Time1 188 Jonathan Pontin 17;212 187 Joshua Bapoo 18;103 184 Denzil DeBie 19;334 186 Stuart Kempson 20;215 87 Matt Fryer 20;326 190 Paul Brandreth 20;387 185 Kelly Wagland 21;128 189 Dave Summers 21;47Thanks as always to today’s marshals – Phil P and Stuart.

We had one faller and one follow a more scenic route but all returned more or less in one piece. Today’s winner was John Crawley who will clearly be the focus of the handicapper when that restarts later this year.
