This year we wanted to get as many members racing and time trialling as possible. Many of you have regularly taken part in the club's evening 10 time trials over the last few years with a smaller group of riders entering other open events on the racing calendar. In particular, the club championship is made up from mainly the Evening 10s and the SCCU events and we would really like to get more of you involved in this to make the Club Championship and handicap trophies more competitive. It just so happens that you can help the club at the same time. How? Well read on....
The SCCU have an award called the Rawson Trophy. A point is awarded for every member from a club who competes in an SCCU event. It's a big trophy. A REALLY big trophy, and it would be great if we as a club could have a really good crack at winning it. This is about participation so if you can ride a bike and finish a time trial then you can help the Phoenix to achieve this. If we can get an average of 5 riders out for every SCCU event then we will be in with a shout and I am sure that for the 10 and 25 mile tts we should be able to get out significantly more than this. The 50 and 100 mile tts are perfect Ironman preparation rides too. What's not to like?

To be held on the
truly spectacular and breath taking GS334 course starting and finishing at
Bletchingly. This event is also a counting event for Spoco SE. The vets A/S will be calculated using the CTT target
times
This event, a firm favourite with riders and for many years
was organised by Don Glover on the behalf of the Croydon and District Cycling
Association and latterly the SCCU. Don had intended to promote the 2013 event but circumstances
sadly dictated otherwise. No doubt many of you will have, in the past, ridden
in events where you were either counted down with the parting quip of “do a
good one” or more importantly, timed in by Don.
Don was not a great one for memorials so this year’s event
is by way of a tribute to a very generous and enthusiastic supporter of all
things cycling. Unfortunately the 2013 event which had a record entry had to
be cancelled due to the extreme and dangerous weather conditions prevailing at
the time. Please come and make this event one to be remembered and please spread the word far and wide so we can once again have an entry Don would have been proud of. If a little extra incentive should be needed it is expected there will be a generous prize fund.
Ladies, by special request, 25% entry reserved especially
for you.
