I'd also like to add my thanks to everyone that helped put this event on and make it a great success. There are so many people who give up their time across the year to help put on our wide range of events and for those of us riding them, we are massively grateful - it always feels like a privilege ...

Phil I sympathise with this state of affairs, though to be fair it's even more of an issue for the unfortunate souls who happen to be riding behind you once the mysterious lycra eating chamois cream has done it's worst. As for helpful advice, I can only offer the following: Are you sure you're not a...

I can lead the A run on Sunday - word of warning though, it'll be slightly shorter than usual - the destination will be Warwick. It will also be a slightly slower pace than usual - so perfect for anyone recovering from the previous day's time trial or needing to get back a little early for Easter co...

Today's A run: Ian Taylor (L) Matt Regan Phil Richards Chris Ashford Nick Wooley Ranulph Fiennes Keith Adcock A nagging head wind and a longer than usual route out meant we were a fairly bedraggled bunch at the cafe, but happily the slow service allowed us to dry out for a tailwind assisted route ho...

Alan I was just discussing this the other day with a couple of people, I'm convinced it is far more common than it used to be. Not managed a coherent theory as to why that is the case but I plan to talk one or two people in the auto trade and see if it is a 'thing' or if we're just noticing it more...
