Early Sunday Ride

Simon T and I have been regularly meeting up on Sunday mornings for a hilly 35-50m ride. If anyone would like to join us then that would be great and we intend to be out again this Sunday.

I will be at the BP garage at Malden Rushett at approximately 7:20am. I know it's early but you can be back home with a cup of coffee and a smug grin by 10:30am while everyone is still heading out. I appreciate that this will not be everyone's cup of tea but if you would like to join us then it would be great to have some other Phoenix members along.

Re CTT Handbook

Hi Alex

the reason it's half price is because it's this past seasons handbook.

CTT Handbook

Hello everyone. It's your new TT secretary here. :-)

I thought I would start up by letting you know that the CTT Handbook is currently available here on the CTT website and it is half price at £4.50. It will be published in mid-January. Frank has kindly sent me the dates for the TTs for next season and once they have been finally confirmed I will get them published for you.

Looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible taking on some time trials next season and for those who missed the AGM this week, attempting to take on the President's challenge to the racing members of the club. Further details of this will be revealed soon.

Ride safe.

Cycling magazines/books going begging

Ann Bath has about 5 recent years of Cycling Weekly and would like to give away to a good home otherwise they will be thrown which would be a shame, lots of interesting articles nutrition, training etc.

Also about 6 books on cycle racing, they will go to Charity shop otherwise.

Contact Ann directly - details on your recently received address list!

SCCU Annual Luncheon & Prizes 2013 - Rowfant

This was my first time to this lunch though I have been to similar for the VTTA at the same venue with similar meal. Above is a picture of all the prize winners present with Lisa the BAR Collator. Well done to all from the KPRC. 

Yours trully wishing I was wearing plus 4's and tweed and come part way by train and then Brompton from 3 Bridges! Quite a splendid sight. I rode my fixie from home but due to the very drawn out service & long wait for food got a lift back with Lisa to Junct.8 M25. Thanks a lot!

The President Rod Starmer congratulating all riders and officials/helpers for their efforts in promoting this years SCCU events. Ray Dare, who was there with Beryl got a particular mention for his amazing age related records this year. The president made a forward plea on behalf of Esther Carpenter for marshals and helpers at next years 24 Hr. Nat Champs which we will again be hosting. 21st/22nd June 2014 put this in your diary. Not sure what it clashes with &; I do remember what an horrendous night it was manning the village hall night stop and feeding the riders. Ann Bath won the ladies that weekend! I detect that there will not be the enthusiasm from KPRC next time I hope I am wrong and unless it turns out I have other commitments (like I'm riding) I will do my best to help. Sounds like it might class with BHF London to Brighton which I gave up years ago & it may clash with Dieppe Raid? Will have to check!

Sat and sun autumn rides

Now the clocks have changed we go into the winter rides list, which is the same as summer except the Ockham Bites is now The Vinerys Lower Bookham as its warmer. The sunday rides start at 9.30 to avoid any frost. This week we had a good turnout sat at Garcons farm, 16 I think. Dave, Lee, Nick and I did the sun ride to the new Cycle café in Esher. Giro. Lovely cakes and really nice coffee. They have locks if you need one! I would urge any of the members who fancy trying our rides to come along and make our club more sociable off season. Also we would like to see more coming down the club room at 9pm Green lanes Worcesterpark Athletics club.
