First club record of the season.
Conditions on the V718 were finally a little more giving in tonight's second round of the Team Swift 10 League. Club man John Brearley finished a fine fourth overall with a time of 19.22 to beat Jason Youngs previous best by 27 seconds. Well done John!June 3, 2015 by Geoff Backshall.
Missing race numbers.
Could any riders, club or guest, who have ridden our Tuesday evening events recently please check their kit bags / cars as three numbers have gone walkabout! Numbers 25 / 28 and 60 are missing. It is an expensive job to replace them individually or get another full set so their return would be appreciated. No reward just a happy secretary!June 3, 2015 by Geoff Backshall.

Right to be on the roads.
Nice little piece in the Guardian. Hope some of the gobby drivers out there read it! When a driver scowls at a passing cyclist and shouts: “You have no right to be on the road - you don’t pay road tax!” are they right? No, according to advisers at HM Revenue & Customs and the Treasury. Firstly, “road tax” does not exist, and has...Read More »April 29, 2015 by Geoff Backshall.
