The 61st edition of the Beacon Mountain Time Trial takes
place this Sunday, 26th April, on a demanding, 39-mile course

again in 2009. [Details]
Sad Death of Hugh McGuire
Hughie passed away on Sunday afternoon cycling back from
a weekend away at Knighton, with a group of LVRC friends.
He was cycling down Abberley Bank towards the Hundred House
at Great Whitley, when he collapsed. It is thought that he
died of a heart attack. Hughie was a great character and a
real asset to the Beacon RCC - he will be sadly missed by
his friends in the Club. [Details]
Express Audaxes Saturday 7th February 2009
It was very disappointing to have to cancel the event this
year due to snow and ice even on roads that are normally treated.
A few people have asked if the event will be re-staged this
year. Unfortunately, this will not be possible due to the
amount of volunteer time required, not to mention the difficulty
of finding a slot in the Audax UK calendar. The event will,
of course, run next year at around the same time.
We've also been asked what happens to the surplus entry fees
when an event is cancelled. Strictly speaking, these are not
refundable and in our case it would be impossible to handle
accurately. It's also worth pointing out that even though
the event did not take place, there are still considerable
expenses to cover. We have therefore decided to use part of
the 'surplus' to reduce next year’s entry fee. The remainder
will be donated to local charities.

Thanks to Andy Terry, all the helpers that made this day
possible. A good proportion of the entrants braved the freezing
weather and had a most enjoyable ride - most taking the gritted
roads alternative route for the first section.
Thanks also to the cafes (Hartlebury Trader; Bridge House
Tea Rooms, Upton upon Severn and Raphaels Cafe, Evesham) who
were all most welcoming and provided a great selection of
good value, warming food & drink.
Photographs of the event by Charles White are available in
our gallery.
Introductory Rides
Our popular introductory rides take place on the first Sunday
of every month. The purpose of this club run is to provide
a relatively short, easy-paced ride suitable for newcomers
or riders who are not yet confident of being able to ride
with the main club runs. Riders returning to cycling, teenagers
or those who are still gaining cycling fitness would all benefit
from joining us on these rides. [Details]

2007 Cotswold Audax
On Sunday 10th June 328 cyclists enjoyed a beautiful day
completing our audax from Wythall to the Cotswolds and back.
The combined distance clocked up by the participants was a
massive 46,744km - more than the circumference of the Earth
at its equator. Thanks to the many riders that have contacted
us to express how much they enjoyed the day, this makes the
tremendous amount of effort that is required for an event
like this all the more worthwhile. We look forward to meeting
you all again at our audaxes in February and June 2008.
