Due to roadworks this event, although scheduled for the E2, had to be moved to the slower more difficult E33. However with the strength of the SW wind it probably made no difference! The most overheard comment afterwards at HQ was "that’s the slowest 10 … more ->

At 08:30 it was bright & sunny. At 09:30 it wasn’t. Yet over 30 turned up at Ware despite the rain and the promise of poor weather. And it was certainly a morning for poor weather. Seventeen rode the easy, eleven the med and four … more ->

The "Malden Hilly" is an 18 mile hilly time-trial on two laps of the E20/9 course based on Woodham Walter near Malden in Essex. This was Tony’s first event of the season. On a warmish, dry, breezy morning he finished in 52:17. This was an … more ->

Yet another fine day. Started off warm, and got hotter. Whilst many took part in a Ware – Cambridge sportive yet there were still over 25 out on the clubbies. Again the largest group was the easies and although Whitwell wasn’t the best choice for … more ->

The first bit of decent weather for aeons, and we all took advantage. A dozen good eggs took to the easy road. No problems or punctures, just a good journey to and from Bps Stortford. Eighteen took the high road to Thaxted. One puncture expertly … more ->

The half a dozen easies had a fairly uneventful trip apart from one puncture and one large puddle. The Royston bound eleven or twelve meds just found some puddles and some difficult stretches of roadlane to navigate and kept to the maxim of never leaving … more ->

Back to the goodish weather with lots out. Thirteen easies, eighteen meds and about eight medfasts (split into two groups) and a little creative accounting makes for about forty riders. And only two punctures! It was a bright and breezy morning with the southerly wind … more ->
