Nigel has asked me to post the following.

A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who turned out and helped make yesterday’s road races a huge success.  We had 54 starters in the mornings 55 mile 3rd Category race, and 71 Starters in the afternoon’s 74 mile 3rd & 2nd Category race.   Due to road resurfacing work we had to change the course for the afternoon race. Thanks to Brian, Martin and their teams for sorting out their new marshal positions.  Special thanks to Karen for sorting out the teas and buns.

I have had nothing but praise from both riders and supporters. Well Done Gareth on his 8th placed finish, he only needs a few more points to get his 2nd Category race licence.  It was a delight to work with everyone as without you we would not have been able to put on such a successful event, and to keep road racing on public road going.  THANK YOU.

Starting and finishing at Dunsfold, there are two distances, 100k and 100 miles around Surrey, Sussex and Kent.

The objective is to raise money for the Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance (one of the bases is at Dunsfold); the entry fee is £25 and they expect some sponsorship too. There are feeding stations, marshals and they are arranging a BBQ at the finish. For more information see the Web site - which has registration, contact details, route maps and ore.

If anyone has dropped a wristwatch on the verge near the garage, please contact me.

Thanks to Gareth and Nigel F for their efforts in presenting at the two meetings the 'FCCC Cycling Etiquette' guide.

They have also made a very good document that the club is using as its 'style guide' for group rides. The document is attached to this article. Click on Read More to see the attachment.

Due to roadwork on tonight's course, the scheduled time trial was cancelled and replaced by a timed training session for club members.
