Congratulations to Mark Roberts for sealing the deal on the hill climb. 3 riders were in serious contention going into the final event (a choice between the Midlands 50 where yours truly was trundling round, long and painful) and the hill climb (short and very painful).

With one round to go Ed sits on top of the table.

Hi Gemma

Are we using the Midlands 50 on 13 Sep for the Club 50 championships?

Best, Simon

Simon Dighton

Just in case people aren't aware there is a VET's group for the Midlands. It is good as it gives age related targets etc for Open time trials and allows comparison to those older / younger. I have attached a brief note below explaining what the VTTA does (I have been a member for a few years and cer...

Ian Taylor has taken full handicap points on the Club 50 and by doing so secured the handicap trophy with one round to spare.

Both riders just outside their PB's from earlier in the year, Keith missing by 20 seconds and George by 42 seconds. This means honours go to Keith with a handicap time of 30 mins and 20 secs with George on 30 mins and 42 seconds, scoring 40 points and 39 points.
