Because of all the nationals and how the calendar sits with when Hamish is over here we had to get a bit creative with the races to ensure we could benchmark his performances effectively (he rides for AeroCoach).
H25/17 today, F11/10 next week are good ones, then we have some smaller K district club races the week after that. Also doing a 25 up in Market Drayton, we could have got him to ride things like the R25 but he’s travelled around so much recently we’re limiting it to ~90min from the Midlands where he’s staying.

I was chatting with a Kiwi guy before the Oxonian CC 25 this morning.
He went on to ride a not particularly forgiving course (H25/17) in 45:52.
I realised later why his name sounded familiar - Hamish Bond, double Olympic gold medallist, and current national TT champion. Time trialling in the UK is getting a bit of celebrity appeal at the minute!
Unfortunately for him, Marcin did it 3 seconds quicker a couple of weeks ago.
I wonder if that dishy former 24 hr TT world champion will be making an appearance again soon?
