If I can make just one point. There were quite a lot of people turning round in the road near the start. I'm not saying don't do this but please take care. We very nearly had a collision between riders tonight and I don't think any of us want that. Also some of the car drivers down that road seem to...

Patch

Sorry for the delay in getting these up. We went to the pub. Great turnout again and a lovely evening. Racing was all very close with some great rides. Thanks to all the people who turned out to help tonight. Good job. Paddy Allaway 21:14 Martin McGowan 21:50 Steve Bull 22:07 James Tate 22:37 Alista...

Patch

It's the first of the popular 9 mile events. Because of the 2 laps it's often a bit hectic at the finish. An extra body or two at the finish is always useful and quite importantly we need a marshal at the first junction. See you lot out there. I've checked the link on the website and it sends you to...

Great ride by our newest member Roger Cutler.

Due to roadworks we had to shorten this event approx 7 miles.

It's just marshals now. The 10 is close to home and in the afternoon and will only last for a couple of hours tops. I only need another 6 people. So if your into time trials and you haven't entered .......... If you are planning on riding but haven't entered closing date is Tuesday 5th May. You can ...

Patch

Cycling weekly a shadow of its former self. Can't be bothered to read it any more.

Patch

I would do it again and so far I'm free that weekend.

Patch

I need people to help with this. Marshalls or if you want something more specific I can find you something.

Patch

Sat 16th of May 2pm

Patch

Riding it is as good as helping 😊

Patch

The clubs open 10 is fast approaching. I have a few jobs I need volunteers for. Pushing Off at the start Number spotting at finish. Broom Wagon Car Car Park attendants 2 probably If you want to do these let me know. This is in addition to marshalling. If you want to Marshall let Dave Cole know. Cheers

Patch

I'm going to use the K34/25. Parking usual place. We might as well have a proper distance.

Patch

I'm not able to be at the 9s on the 20th and 27th May. So as this course needs 2 timekeepers I need volunteers.

Patch

Thanks Toby I'll change the link. I obviously didn't change the hyperlink when I changed the details

Patch

I'd have to agree with Steve the Genesis is really nice. That would be my choice they have nice geometries, paint finish is good nothing to fault really.

Patch

Event shortened to 10 Mile due to roadworks on course. Result K32/20 Sat 11th April April (shortened to 10 miles due to roadworks) Another great turnout. I think this actually makes quite a nice tough 10 course. Big well done to Mat for a very respectable placing on his first ever time trial. Sorry ...

Patch

Due to traffic lights near to Hanbury the event will be shortened to 10 miles. Parking and sign on usual place Shell Ford. Start now at Junction Goose Hill Lane and Earls Common Lane. Finish usual place.

Turn up for start at 2pm and I'll explain.

Patch

I am aware of these they have been there all week. I'll take a trip over there tomorrow and have a look. I'll make a decision on whether 20 goes ahead or not at that point.

Patch

Claire I should message John direct or call him 07808 326624 you will need to do this today though it'll be beyond his control if you don't.

Patch

There is a link to the spreadsheet on the handicap page now.

Patch

I'll alter the main website in a bit. At the moment there doesn't seem to be a link to the spreadsheet I'll ask Steve to sort.

Patch

I can do it Gareth I'm in Halesowen if that helps.

Patch

I didn't realise it was you either lol.

Patch

It was nice to be riding the time trial bike again. Some fast times today despite the blustery conditions. I think that's a course record isn't it Simon. For the handicap results Everybody was a Beacon except Tim Ashton (Royal Sutton). Well done everyone. Next event is the 20 mile circuit KC32/20 ht...

Patch

Any Shimano wheel will do what it says on the box. I've had a pair of C 24 s for a while nice and light good for climbing not so fast on the flat. Ksyriums obviously tried and tested. Easton EA90s are worth a look. At Bache we do Shimano or Fulcrum or Hope. I'm about to start using Fulcrum 1s which ...

Patch

We had a great time. Thank you for organising it.

Patch

I'm taking a couple of spare Mtbs with us today. So if you fancy a ride tomorrow bring some riding gear inc spd shoes. One of the bikes has flat pedals. One has spds.

Patch

Note I've had to move the 10 on the 6th May due to a course clash. It's now on the K34/10D.

Do you like riding as hard as you can against the clock? Would you like to race up really tough hills, swoop down thrilling descents and roll along leafy-green Worcestershire roads in the spring? If so then we have the event for you: The most friendly, exciting and enjoyable event on the time triall...

Patch

Any more offers for timekeeping. As you can see from the list we are struggling a bit. Some of these events need more than one timekeeper. Namely the 9 mile events. If more than 20 people turn up its not possible to do the event without two timekeepers. In two of last years 9 mile events we had over...
