The 16th is in my diary and I'm expecting to be doing whatever is needed for the event on the day. Do you want me to attend the meeting too?

New Road Race Venue and event on 21st July
I seem to be on the distribution list for West Mids road events - but some folks might be interested to know about this: Hi all, We have been working for some time to bring a new venue onto the calendar in the West Midlands. After a few hurdles and hoops, at last we have a test event planned for 21s...

A new 3rd-cat in the club........
I've heard a rumour that one of our keen new road racers has just won enough points for his 3rd-cat licence. So are we going to have this offically confirmed along with a moment-by-moment account of the nerve-wracking race that clinched the crucial final points - from someone who was there? Ruth ps....

Midlands TT Rankings - Simon Dighton moves up a category
I guess most folks don't look at the Midlands TT Rankings very often if at all, but this month Simon has featured as one of just two riders to be promoted up a category. See here . The thing about these rankings is that there are no easy points and you don't go up a category without making an improv...

Meeting Point for Club 25 on Saturday
A rider from the Walsall RCC has just contacted me to ask about the meeting point for the club 25 on Saturday. Could someone confirm exactly where it is please? I guessed that it is in one of the laybys just to the south of the A441/A422 junction at Cookhill. IIRC there is a huge layby on each side ...

Anyone who had any previous performance in a TT on their entry will not be a reserve but those people for whom this...

With another week to go before the closing date we could, with a bit of luck, have a full field of 120 riders. Don't wait to get your entr...

Thanks for reminding me about that article Tim. Incidentally, Jeff Jones who wrote it returned in 2011 and came second. It would be worth looking at his time in 2009 because he did it on a road bike that year although I should think he may have challenged for a podium spot if he'd been on a TT bike,...

At yesterday's AGM it was voted that next season the V40+ riders will race with the seniors for 50mins as the last race of the day. I think we also agreed that the V50+/Women/Juniors would race before the Youths - but the U10s and U12s would remain as the first races of the day. So my lie-in on a Su...
