TT Result: Simon Cannings sets TMK seasons best for 25m
Simon with 51-53 was just 11 seconds off Mark Simmons TMK 25m record. when he rode the Port Talbot 25m event at the weekend. This was obviously a personal best by 2 mins 10 sec (he has set 2 previous pbs this year) and is the fastest ride by a TMK rider over 25 miles this year 
. Well done.
Wales is become a popular time trialling venue for TMK members with a number of us making the 2hr+ trip there this year. So what's the attraction - the sheep? 
Well for 25m it is the ski-slope start for this event, where you can hit speeds of 40mph+, and for a similar event held a few weeks ago. So it is a good place to head in search of a good time and everyone (including the sheep) flock there chasing pbs or competition records.
So it must have been a fast day as Chris Boardman's competition record of 45-57, set on the A34, was eventually beaten, but not by the expected Michael Hutchinson, who rode a 46-04 recently, but his Irish countryman David McCann (personally never heard of him) with 45-54. Hutch was 'only' second.
Simon's time was good enough for 39th and it can most probably be comfortably assumed that everyone set a personal best time. The last person only achieved a 57 minute ride, and the DNS will be kicking themselves.
So make a note in your diary for the events next year.
