Reading Time: < 1 minute A damp and dark night met the 11 brave souls who turned up for the last club 10 of this year. Times in the main were generally slower, and conditions were not ideal as showers of rain blew across the course, hampering efforts to post the fastest of times. Lee, with appropriate grimace, buckled down […]

All the ladies… and a few blokes too.. S
Reading Time: 3 minutes After a sunny Saturday, I changed the TBA to the Mills. Lack of imagination, maybe, but a great destination on an August Sunday. I turned up at the club to already find a couple of lady club members, and soon there were more, until they were five strong, lined up and looking determined. There were […]

A healthy field of 64 riders started, and made their way against some tough conditions, especially along Kings Street into a cross headwind.

Club 10s – Guardian Cup Round 7 – 15th J
Reading Time: < 1 minute With a breeze that seemed (at least to me) to offer little assistance, and on the road as though it might be a head wind in every direction, most of the field improved on their times. Jim especially excelled himself by going sub 25 for the first time in 25 years! After round 7, Jim has […]
