VTTA Surrey/Sussex Lunch & Prizes Sunday 31 Jan 2016

Well an excellent lunch at the Normandy Centre Horsham and KPRC were both well represented by Ray, Beryl, Brian P, Steve & Ann, Jake & me! Over 10% of attendees! Well done KPRC.

From KPRC point of view the star performer was Jake Winning the Charles Robson Cup with an impressive + 31m. 30sec.

Photo's will follow of our members attending along with those of prize winners.
Fast men as ever Peter Tadros and Steve Dennis cleaned up many trophies with very impressive +++'S

The Wally Perkins Cup - Ladies BAR was not contested, so KPRC can we do an Ann Bath again with a 25, 50, 100 & 12Hr in 2016 our 80th year?
The men's equivalent BAR was won David Shepherd, who was also Nat Champ 12 hr with 284 miles.

Guest of Honour was Roy Savery who gave a positive insight into self motivation and is seen below presenting the trophies.

London West again!

I moved to Newbury last Wednesday 27th January. The process was pretty rapid, from discovering the flat to moving in took just a week. There was an urgent need for me to find alternative accommodation and opportunities are thin in the borough of Merton, in any case the area doesn't hold much attraction for me. I'm just down the road from my dad and sisters now instead of a 60 mile drive. So it's back to flatter courses and more civilised start times, and loads of club events start just down the road!                                                 Philip Burgin

The Rawson Shield 2016

Ok folks, it is that time of year when we send out a call to arms for all our riders to enter a SCCU eventy, counting towards the Rawson Shield. We have won it for the last 2 years and we want to win it again in 2016, our 80th year. But winning's easy. We want to completely smash it and score 100 points, which as far as we know has never been done in this competition. The first events will be upon us soon, so get your entries in. Just to clarify a few points about entering and taking part in a time trial,

No, you do not need a TT bike.
No, you do not need a silly pointy hat.
No, you do not need a lycra skin suit.

Yes, you do need a bike.
Yes, you need to be able to pedal said bike.
Yes, you need to love riding your bike (which I take as a given, otherwise why would you be reading this!?)
Yes, you need to like tea and cake (for afterwards)
Yes, every ride gains the club a Rawson point, whether you finish first or last.

Those of you who ride on a Saturday or Sunday morning and have never ridden a TT before, we want you to enter just one event. I defy you not to enjoy it or get something out of it. These first three sporting events which are perfect rides if you are looking at doing some sportives, Ironman events or just want a scenic ride, we would like to aim to get 20 riders out per event, which would massively help us achieve our 100 points before the longer events later in the season. Everybody's entry will count

You can enter by posting a cheque to the event organiser, listed here for each event, or even easier, you can enter via the CTT website at www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/events.

So come people, let's do this.  

Any questions, then just put a message on here or e mail me.

KPRC Reliability Ride Cancelled

It is with great regret that I have decided to cancel tomorrow’s Reliability Rides. The weather forecast is for light snow overnight, there will be limited sunshine tomorrow and I have been contacted by several riders who rode in the Surrey Hills today and encountered icy conditions.

As a result neither I nor the club feel it would be responsible to hold the event.

We will definitely run the event later in the year so I will keep you all informed.
