Bex Rimmington<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  • Blackburn 2-up Time Trial with Debbie \u2013 this was a great event under Team Merlin, it was the first time we had ridden together and managed to nail a pretty solid time in grim conditions, of course I\u2019m hoping Debbie has also put this event down in her top 3 or I may not be getting an invitation to ride together again \ud83d\ude09 !<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    • World Ironman 70.3 Championship, Nice, Cote d’Azur \u2013 of course I had to put this race in my top 3, the course was amazing and always a great experience to race at a World Championship. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      • Challenge Peguera,\nMallorca \u2013 the final event of the season and this was definitely up there with\none of the best events I\u2019ve done, the support out on the course is amazing and\nthe organisation is fantastic. A tough and challenging course but I guess you\nwouldn\u2019t expect anything else from the challenge series.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Debbie Moss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        • Going well under the hour on an L course in Cumbria (not a drag strip!!) for 25 miles in June with a 57-55, pleased with this as wanted to do a 58 but skipped that and went straight to 57!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"
          Photo: UCI Masters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          • The VTTA (Veterans TT Association) National 100 in July, this was also the NLTTA (North Lancs TT Association) Championship 100 (also in Cumbria).  Was very pleased with this for three reasons, I set a new NLTTA Ladies record for 100 miles of 4-15-46 by 3 minutes, took 9 minutes off my PB for 100 miles and also finished 2nd<\/sup> in the VTTA championship (also got silver in the 50 champs as well).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"

            • The senior National 25 TT Champs were in August.  Amazed to finish 6th<\/sup> overall here, my highest finish in a Senior National event.  Also won my age group, was fastest veteran wench overall and and took another 2 mins 20 seconds off my PB with a time I was completely amazed with of 55-39 (it must have been good as Bex was impressed with it too!!)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Oh, hang on, yes the Blackburn 2 Up TT with Bex, can I have that one aswell? Obviously a highlight – all that #TeamMerlin in one place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
