Super light tubular wheels (rim brake). Bought late 2017. Light use during summer months of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021. Never used in rain, vgc. They have a Campag freehub body but this can be swapped out to Shimano easily and cheaply. Will include wheel bags and the attached Vittoria Corsa Graphine 2.0...

Toby, Mariana, the online 'club shop' will be set up as soon as Santini sort it out their end, this will then be put on here for you to order and pay directly

Regular Toby

Thanks Marianna. Taking this and Laurence’s post into account, it sounds like I need to pay Neil a visit

toby

Thanks Laurence I’m very grateful. They look great.

It looks like there’s a little bit of conflicting advice about sizing here so I will contact Neil.

toby

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

Thanks for all of the offers of help! Really appreciated ... keep them coming!

Please stick my name down as a volunteer Ade

Really sorry to hear that Keith. Still two weeks to go so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you mate. Lots of vitamin C and green leafy vegetables if you've still got a lot of bruising. Take care.

toby

Thanks Tim. The CTT has Simon Dighton's email address against the event so I have sent him a message. I am unconcerned about refund. It's only 14 quid from my POV and if it goes to the club it's all good. The injury is inconveniently timed so I am philosophical rather than angry. I am very fortunate...

My training in the early part of this season was focussed on my first participation in this event. Early club TTs indicated I was going well. Unfortunately injury woes and imminent surgery have put paid to competing this year. I could not see anything in terms of protocol about declaring myself DNS ...

Thanks again Andy and Martin. Lovely day for it, if a bit blowy!

Yes thanks guys. Good effort ensuring the road works were completed on time Martin

John hasn't announced details for this year's page yet but from my archive of old pages.... A very important and popular option, our Roadman category will again feature this year. We will award prizes for the fastest riders completing the course using a standard road bike with only traditional-styl...

I have entered the Little Mountain TT via the CTT website. I just wondered whether there was a link to the rules for "roadman" entry - I remember it somewhere on the Beacon site but I can't find it. I just want to be sure that any of my aero slipperyness will not void entry into this classification...

The new course is pending CTT approval. Fingers crossed...

Beacon RCC are awaiting the OK from CTT?

If the LMTT is on the CTT site, does that mean we can enter asap, pdq?

Respect to everyone, competitors and officials, for braving that. I spent the last four days looking at weather forecasts talking myself into and back out of showing up today.

Woo hoo! That's fantastic. Thanks Simon.

Patch wrote:Toby your handicap was 3.00 which is the difference between base time 15 min and your previous best 18.00. So you are quite right you should have had 3 min knocked off your new PB of 16:41 = 13:41

Thanks for confirming Chris

toby

... so further to my last post, reviewing others' expected time, they have had the difference between expected and actual time taken from (or added to) the base 15 mins. Which makes my handicap time 13.41, correct?

toby

Hi Simon - I rode the course with a time of 18 minutes last year. So I'm just interested to find out whether my result here is restricted to the base time like riders who've not rode the course before or whether, by coincidence, my result matches a ride that results a calculated time that equals the...

toby

Thanks for today Andy & Chris. Well done to everybody. It was cold and that bloody road never gets any less worrying.

toby

Thanks all. As I said earlier, I didn't want this to sound like sour grapes and definitely did not want to offer anything other than congratulations to Simon and Martin for those excellent times. And add appreciation to Patch et al for their efforts over the season. But last night, after a long day ...

toby

... or the number of points on offer should be weighted by the low turn out. There were two riders entered. They scored 40 and 39 points. A third person, high in the table in the handicap comp could have entered today, rolled round in three and a half hours and score 38 points.

toby

Yes. Both valid points. And the club absolutely needs a 50 champs. But if future schedule conflicts occur, the TT should be removed as a contributing event towards the handicap comp when the date is published.

toby

I get that Laurence. But if Simon hadn't raced today, Martin would've got 40 points for the handicap comp, unchallenged by anyone else at the top of the table who was supporting a major club event.

toby

BTW - well done Simon and Martin. I didn't want to detract from your performances today. This isn't sour grapes:)

toby

That was the page i was referring to Laurence. But I've never scrolled down that far. I'm going to stop reading the club page on a smartphone and use a proper computer monitor next season so I don't miss out on handicap points from not reading something in the page footer. That's to say nothing abou...

toby

So was this a Beacon event? I didn't know about this (its not on the calandar) and note that some big scores have been awarded in the handicap comp.

toby

The competition is hotting up! I'm looking forward to better conditions on the next couple of Wednesdays to hopefully set a new PB. Last Wednesday night was soul destroying!!

I notice that the race on 24th June is the "Club Handicap Champs". How does that relate to this competition?

toby

Thanks Rich - just a heads up for the admins really to ensure the link goes to the correct route.

toby

Just planning my next few events, noticed that the calendar page at http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/club_races/ ... index.html lists K34/10D on Wednesday 6th May but the link for the course takes you to a route for K8/10T.

Thanks Chris, Andy for the last couple of weeks and Keri and James also today.

The last couple of weeks have been a really terrific experience. I'm enjoying TT immensely! Roll on the next one!!

The Mid Atlas mountains close to Fes are very lush, lots of agriculture, almost alpine with pine forests. I saw a roadie ascending up into the hills south towards Ifrane, when we were on an excursion on holiday in September 2011. It was very hot on the plains - I'm not sure how I'd acclimatise to th...
