I keep saying this but what a ride again Simon. We do need to have a forum for getting this news around without you having to broadcast it yourself. Also if we knew where each of us were racing, it would be nice to either join up as Beacon team, if people are racing fit, or cheer people on. I rememb...

Congrats to those 5 on the 100 in 8 run. As the regular B runners went on the above, I took the B run to Worcs Country Park. On the B run today; Dave Hughes. We (that's me, singular, obviously), amalgamated with the A run, both of them. (That's both riders, not A runs, Obviously). We (that is me obv...

Thanks for kind words everyone but seriously Mr President, I have only done three of these killers in my entire life, do you really think I am going to do three this year! Hi Rod, I had no idea what I had done in the past but Anne dug out my old results book. It turns out that I had completed 2 prev...

That is very kind of you Simon. However congratulations must go to you for retaining your 50 mile TT title. I had a good day. I thought that it was because I had paced it well but examination of my Garmin files showed that I had gone off too fast, I covered the first 10 m in 23:01! Not a smart move ...

I echo the thanks to helpers. First time assist Helen? Thanks for aiding the failing eyesight of the older generation. Good turnout and some good rides that might go under the radar. Amarjit improving over 2 mins in a week, (aero bike + desire for revenge over some of the older generation Amarjit?) ...

You need to be a bit more savvy Colin. Make sure that you turn in a below par ride for the first event then beat it incrementally over the coming weeks. It gives you a big boost in the H/C times. That is why I only did a 23:17 instead of the long 19 that I could obviously could have done. Look and l...

I didn't get much chance to take shots as officiating at start and end but here are a few that I grabbed. Any others can be added to the LMTT album on Flickr.

You youngsters take note, a half pint of 'The Pope of Dope', (an excellent rose coloured ale courtesy of The Fixed Wheel Brewery) and a mustard lathered slab of pork pie are the training secrets boys. You heard it here. Would I lie to you? Seriously not going that well and got shot off twice. BUT, t...

Hi Andy, hope the following may be of some use. Anne & I are going this year as well. We have already booked 2wks for the Pollensa Park Hotel, 5 – 19 April.

Hi Barry, how's it going? Headset eh. Hmmmmmm. There could be trouble at mill (race). Headsets are notoriously difficult to fit if the frame is an old one. Not the technical aspect but the sizing. So many variations and the differences are subtle. Most of your gear was up to date (as I recall), so i...

First of all thanks to Pete, Helen and Pete C For leading the rides today. Amelia had a slow **flat** today and when we got to Earlswood , there were no trains running. I thought about about just leaving a new club member stranded there- not a good idea so off to Wythall where I spotted trains to wh...

That is what a cycling club is all about. Dedicated athletes being coached in a disciplined and controlled environment.

First of all, thank you to all the people that run the c runs, I started riding with the "C" runs 2 years ago and found it difficult to start with but have found I can keep up on most rides. I always thought these were club rides and not training bashes and, like Bob, thought they were designed for ...
