This is a reminder that the club RR is now only just over a month away. For those that wish to enter (I have no entries from club members yet) the deadline is Sunday 21 September (cats 2, 3 and 4 are eligible to ride). At the moment it’s looking like it will be oversubscribed…

Road racing update: 24 June 2014 by Gray Turnock Fourteen club members have been mixing it in the bunches this year, mainly in London and the Home Counties but with Johns Pritchard and Wood also showing the club colours in the north. The former earning a well-deserved promotion to the thirds in the process. Several…

Eight ‘Parkers’ graced the E64 for round 5 on a pleasant evening and everyone performed at or near their potential; with the exception of Albert who was well off his usual pace, without any excuses. I wonder what happened. Michael Briars surprised; not with his performance, but that he managed to start on time, get…

Odam Series after 4 rounds.
