M&DLCA & East Lancs RC 10’s – 29th April
Reading Time: 4 minutes Due to popular demand (from Jim Duffy as he hates writing reports), I am posting my first TT report of the Year.

Macc Wheelers 25 – J2/9
Reading Time: 2 minutes I dont think I thought it through when I entered this event! I came home yesterday from a great 10 Days in Majorca, riding in general, every other day completing 470 miles and over 26000 ft of climbing.

Withington Wheelers – 25m TT (J2/9)

The Curse of The Nova 2up!
Reading Time: 3 minutes Some of you may recall my previous experience of this event when I last rode it 3 years with Dave Fearon, my tri bar fell out, so I spent much if the ride with it bouncing off the front wheel. I started the morning off by actually getting my TT bike down for the first […]
