Apologies to all who turned up last night for the late cancellation. I did drive back through Beoley & it definitely would have been a red light lottery to decide the winner.

Thanks to Dave for turning up to keep time.

Just the hill climb to go now.

Oh and don't forget it's a 7:30 start on this course.

RichK

Thanks for timing Dave & Chris for the push off et al.

Well done to Richard & Rosie.

RichK

Good one

RichK

Thanks Chris, well done Richard & Clare.

And there was me thinking it was too windy...

RichK

Well done Amarjit. Time to buy some Brasso.

RichK

Thanks for timing Chris. Pity about the shortened course, but was definitely the right thing to do.

RichK

Dave

That would be great, thanks as last time I spoke to Chris he didn't have anybody sorted.

Richard

RichK

Thanks Martin, that would be good if you can. There's nothing shown on the Worcestershire CC roadworks map.

RichK

Next club TT is on Wednesday 25th June 2014. 6:30 for 7:00 start. 20 rolling miles on K32/20 http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/K32-20-Country-Hilly-Time-Trial-Route#null and, there's a trophy up for grabs too :wink: will it be Amjhet?, will it be Keri or Martin? Will it be you? It could be you 8)...

RichK

Thanks for timing again Paul & Gary for marshalling at the first turn.

A welcome nice evening again this week

resulting in a decent turn out.

RichK

Andy

Probably have to be a pre-race inspection/decision

RichK

OGE have hinted they'd be interested...

RichK

Thanks to Paul/Helen/Chris/Martin(?) for yesterday. Whilst it wasn't too bad riding (when you got going/warm), standing round couldnt have been much fun.

Let's hope next week is kinder for weather.

RichK

Andy

I've got an unused SRAM 9 speed 11-28 (PG950) sat in a box in the garage. Any good?

RichK

Thanks to Paul/Debbie for timekeeping & Laurence/Andy for marshalling & anybody else who just turned out - does make it more of an event when we have a good crowd.

Don't forget you can come back again next week & improve on your times

RichK

Thanks for all the offers for help. We're using this course for 5 weeks, so I hope some of you might be available in subsequent weeks (please :) ) Forecast is good, so I'm hopeful for a good turnout. Can I make a request that faster riders go off later. That just helps make the timekeepers job a bit...

RichK

thanks for the offers. Hope at least one of you can make it Wednesday.

RichK

The next club TT takes place next Wednesday 14th May 7:00 start. It's just 9 flat miles this time, twice round this cirucuit : http://www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php?lnk=http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/club_races/courses/K36-4_5C.gpx this is the first of 5 weekly events on the same course - so a good pla...

RichK

Apologies to all for the last minute cancellation tonight and big thanks to Eric for turning up for timekeeping.

Hopefully next week will be more successful.

RichK

Phil That map looks good to me. Sign on is at Longbarn Village - about a mile (ish) before the finish on the B4090 (Alcester Heath). Lights by the tollhouse were still there yesterday and still shown on the HWCC website (with an estimated finish date of today) so, unfortunately, it's going to have t...

Thanks for timing Andy.

Super afternoon. Weather about as good as you'll get too.

RichK

Big thanks to everybody who helped to make this the event of the year.

RichK

Simon

Just for accuracy on item 13.... Chris is now the timetrial secretary & Brian is enjoying a well earned rest.

RichK

Nice one Martin. I was getting concerned that my next ride would be the LMTT

Chris hope it goes (went) well.

RichK

Of those choices I'd go for July.

so it's the big showdown on Sunday then?

The next club TT takes place on Weds 24 July on K20/5

Sign on by the Bromsgrove golf centre just off A38.

Note the slightly later start time of 7:30

Just 5 miles this time so short & swift...

RichK

Course was a lot better than I had anticipated

and some super times too

Although I do prefer the straight out & back of K34/10D I think a return visit here sometime would be good. Just need to be a bit wary of traffic (red Audis in particular) on the final roller-coaster towards the finish.

RichK

I think whoever arranged for the rain to stop for an hour from about 6:30 should be congratulated

RichK

On Weds 10th July, the calendar shows us having a club TT onK34/10. That would be a new course for us as we 'usually' use K34/10D (Dunnington - Norton - Evesham RAB & back). Can somebody confirm which it is we're using? Thanks.

RichK

Thanks to Harry for marshalling & Bob for timekeeping.

Forecast still looking promising

RichK

Gavin - shouldnt be a problem.

RichK

The next club TT takes place on the popular K36/4.5 (two laps). A good course for anybody contemplating a first go at a TT as it's relatively flat and easily possible to ride out & back (but you might want some lights for the return). http://www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php?lnk=http://www.beaconrcc.or...

RichK

One quick query / possible amendment. Should the events on K20 (Redditch - Bromsgrove road) be shown as a 7:30 start?

RichK

events listings are now available

http://www.midlanddc.org.uk/club-events
http://ctt.org.uk/Default.aspx?&gv514__ ... __gvfl5=17

All I need to do now is get back on a bike

RichK

on the Discovery channel (how ironic) at 2:00 am Friday (repeated at 8:00 pm Friday)...

RichK

Possibly one for Brian (?)

Do we have a (provisional) list of club TT events for 2013 yet? I'm particularly interested in what we have around easter (Karen is wanting to book our easter break...)

Thanks

Richard

RichK

I've put a copy onto a DVD, stop me tonight if you want it...
