Etwall delivers - Simon Canning breaks both 25m records

Simon Canning broke both the TMK senior and vets records when riding in the Derby event last Saturday afternoon, on the fast Etwall course.  So there is no longer any need to go the the Welsh ski slope ever again.  The event was won with 49-07.

His time got him into the Top 10 and beat Mark Simmon's previous senior mark of 51-42 by 2 seconds which was set in 2005 on the F20/25.  Mark has subsequently clarified that he actually late started by 26 sec in that event!

His time also improved on Jason's vets record set earlier in the year.

Steve Clarke, who introduced us all to this fast course, also rode and set the a season's best of 53-50 for 26th place.

These rides have a major effect on the TMK rankings at 25m which are now:
