More Redmon 2-up

Fastest on the day Richard Prebble and Ben Instone 33min 11 secs.

Our friendly and ever hardworking time keeper Frank and that Mexican Bandit again.

Winner of the Gentlemans on standard was Number 30 (who came steaming by Jackie and I approaching Rusper) with a time of +10min 2sec, John Woodburn and pacer C. Day.
To draw a comparison between he Grant and I, he is 71yrs (must be another Ray Dare type) and his actual time was 39min 03sec. compared to Grants 50min 07sec (72yrs) and mine of 48m 02s (66yrs). My time was minus 51sec on standard and Grant minus 38sec on standard. Well done Grant you beat me with the help of Steve Hillier. Sorry to let you down Jackie, thanks for waiting on those hills I enjoyed the experience it was a great day!

Redmon Gentlemans 2-up

Riders 27 getting into the mood before start.

KPRC Club President supporting the event.

MM meeting pacer 29, she was a fast woman, 4.5mins quicker than me, and also a Bronze medal winner at both Beijing and Athens in womens double sculls rowing. AS Will Almond would say these rowers make good cyclists, get me a rower!

Chrystal getting the ward for fastest women's pair (paced by Angela Nainby, East Grinstead CC)

Le Mans 24 Bikes!

As working the blog is beyond me could you sound out whether there might be interest in the Phoenix in this first event which will happen on the weekend of 22nd August 2009. It's on the 4k motorbike circuit, so closed roads, for teams of 8 or 6 or 4 or 2 or even solo.
My son did the in-line skate version this year and said it was great fun.
I predict that this will in very few years become a huge world event so it might be no bad thing to get in early!
Entries open on 1st November.
John.

Mmm, Sounds intriguing - anyone interested?
And can anyone find a website with more information?

ABBA Party

Oh and by the way, Barbara's ABBA party with lots of meat balls and beer kept me awake untill 4am. Hence one of the reason for me being dropped up Leith Hill. No need to wait guys I was happy on my own for a few hrs and didn't want to show your racers up!

Ibbo's Cake Ride.

Some pics of the misty start, me at Outwood and the rewarding finish. Jen got her bubly and Julie bucked my spirits up immensly. I was a carrot cake (not a lot of people know that)
