The correct link is https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39229402 ... B7DtWkiY0O.

It's definitely not too late - people often enter on the day. Simon's first link above is to the start location so you just need to make sure you're there about 15 minutes before the 19:00 start time.

laurence_cooley

I presume the numbers in the post title are the date, which would make this Sunday.

Hey I’m keen on joining you but do you have a different version of the route please as I don’t have a garmin computer device

You can download the route as a GPX file from the Garmin site, which should work with any device (I think, anyway).

Some excellent rides, must remember to update the club records with these new rapid times.

Thanks for the reminder - I'd been meaning to get around to that for a while. Now done.

This is a cafe that already gets used, but the club recently received this message: Good Morning. We are a local garden centre restaurant in chaddesley Corbett, and would love you and your cycling club to drop in on us at Rowberry’s. You’re guaranteed a warm welcome, and delicious food and cakes…and...

I have set that I'd be happy to loan out, James. If you can collect from Harborne, you're more than welcome to borrow them for a few months.

Ade has provided this volunteers' briefing for those helping out at our cyclo-cross event on Sunday: http://beaconrcc.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Walsall-Briefing_301122.docx . If you haven't already volunteered and you're free, it is not too late to offer help (even if you've got just 1 hour!...

They went missing but we've now located them and I've posted them here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=10317. Thanks for the reminder!

The results from the club hill climb championship went missing but thanks to Dave Cole, we've managed to locate them.

Well done, all. Lots of "likes" of appreciation here too.

laurence_cooley

There was an event on 25 May - I've just got the results off of George and posted them - but it was advertised as a two-up road bike event, so I'm not sure whether that should exclude it from the handicap competition? Edit: though some others were also advertised as two-ups...

Just posting these results from earlier in the season for completeness: Christian Easley (Birmingham Midland CC)/Celia Brown (Beacon RCC) 21.38 road bike Gavin Giles (Beacon RCC) 23.45 road bike Huan Dong (Beacon RCC)/Stuart Jones (Beacon RCC) 24.23 road bike Toby Draper (Beacon RCC)/Andy Deere (Bea...

laurence_cooley

Typically the handicap competition has been a rider's best 10 results but given reduced number of races think we should probably reduce to say, best 7? Any thoughts there are 11 races available to count I was going to suggest eight, just because it's a round number, but given that several regulars ...

laurence_cooley

Yep, there are some prize categories in open events (vets, etc.) but the smaller numbers don't really make that viable for regular club events. The season-long handicap competition gives everyone an equal chance at a trophy though!

laurence_cooley

The lower age limit is apparently 12, Jim (see https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/articles/view/11).

Simon: the organiser is George Lazenby this year so best to ask him. I'll let him know you're asking.

laurence_cooley

For those who've not yet seen it, the club TT calendar for 2022 is now available here: http://beaconrcc.org.uk/club-time-trials-2022/.

I'm posting these results from this year's Club 10 on the K33/10S on 23 June for record-keeping purposes, as they didn't seem to be on the message board. NB that this was the event that was run a bit shorter than the full course. Roger Cutler Beacon RCC 20:04 Ed Moss Beacon RCC 20:58 Damo Littlewood...

Hi

Any chance of knowing who the Beacon members are on attached - I can then finalise Handicap results.
Best, Simon

Done - according to the information I have from Andy.

I just realised that the results for this weren't posted on the message board, so here they are for completeness: Cameron Biddle 02:52 Tim Podlogar 02:59 David Fellows 02:59 Ricki Ellison 03:03 Jeremy Maclean 03:37 Robert Lynam 03:41 Charlie Whelan 03:58 Anthony Featherstone 03:59 (CM) Frederic Lacr...

Sign up at the top like last year or at the bottom?

I've checked with Gemma and she says sign-on will be at the top of the hill.

A reminder that the 2021 Hill Climb Championship is coming up this Sunday, starting at 11:00 at the bottom of Winwood Heath Road. If you want to race, please enter online: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/club-tim ... 0647290833.

Great news! Really happy that the 75 anniversary jerseys are available since I missed out previously. I only need to know if the fit is “race” or “regular” so I know whether to order a large or a medium. Thanks Neil :D I cited your case when we were debating whether to make them available again thi...

laurence_cooley

Well done, Ed. TT records page duly updated: http://beaconrcc.org.uk/about/time-trial-club-records/.

laurence_cooley

Sorry Simon, but Jason Hogg thought his time looked wrong and Dave Cole has checked it and confirmed that it should be 23:26. Are you able to revise the handicap calculations?

I did sign up,

but I don't know where the start is or what time you can collect your number

Look out for an e-mail tomorrow with instructions!

laurence_cooley

I should be able to help out too.

laurence_cooley

I thought it was really good too. Gemma will be posting the results in this thread and once she's done so I'll link to them from the TT calendar on the website.

Does the hill climb start on winwood heath road?

Yes, starts at the bottom of the road and ends at the top.

laurence_cooley

A reminder that the hill climb championship is this Sunday, starting at 11:00. Details and a payment link are available here.

laurence_cooley

Re last week, it did get run, albeit with a small field because it was raining right up to the start time. The results have now been posted.

laurence_cooley

The order is now open. Details at http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/message_boa ... f=1&t=9277.

laurence_cooley

If you paid to enter yesterday's rain-cancelled TT, please keep an eye out for an e-mail about your entry fee, and don't pay for next week until you've heard from us.

laurence_cooley

As far as I understand, we need to use numbers for insurance reasons. Obviously best to pin your own one on yourself if possible!

There's a link to the course description at http://beaconrcc.org.uk/club-time-trials-2020/ if that helps (I had to use the Internet Archive because I couldn't find a map either, and that page on the old CTT district website was the closest I could get).

Hi Stu If I'm not to late I'll have S/S Virtus Jersey (XXL) please. This isn't an order, Neil, but rather a poll to find out which items are likely to meet minimum order quantities.

Because the original club 10 TT championship event had to be cancelled, this coming Wednesday's TT has been designated as the replacement event. Given the high level of demand, we're capping entries in club TTs at 40 at present, and they've been popular with non-members. If you're a Beacon member an...

Looks like a club record for Roger - current best time is John's 20:12.

Hi Ian, could you let me know what time this will be? I'm going to advertise it from the club Facebook page, but don't have Zwift to get the invite.

laurence_cooley

Dave, I have a Tacx Flow that I should get rid of to make space. It's a few years old but still works fine. I'd be happy to accept a small donation to a food bank for it. The only issue is that I have no way of delivering it anywhere, so it would have to be collected (with appropriate distancing!).

laurence_cooley

I've added the dates to a news item on the website, with links to the courses: http://beaconrcc.org.uk/club-time-trials-2020/. Could someone make this message board post sticky too?

laurence_cooley

I think for the 50 championship, the prize is just awarded to the best performance on any open 50, isn't it? I don't think we've ever organised one, and while the Shirley 50 was designated as our club championship event for a while, that doesn't seem to be run any more.
