/On the 20th July, 3C jerseys gathered to take part in the P164 organised by the Southampton Tri Club (STC). Em Warner was lucky enough to be born on the 20th July, so henceforth, the TT was known as "Em's Birthday TT"!

Caroline Cooil

All riders had fantastic times. Special mention needs to be made to Ian, who after several weeks of injury, had a superb ride as one of the the first ones back on his bike.
All 3C riders were cheered on with the great support from other members of the club and their families. This goes to show what a fantastic club 3C has become!
To continue the birthday celebrations, the ride was followed up at the Drift Inn with cheesy chips, drinks and even a home made carrot cake courtesy of Em!
Fantastic effort all round and maybe a few new budding TT riders?!!
