2 - UP Pictures

Congratulations to all who entered and as Frank says for finishing safely, Well done Lynda you made the right choice in the end winning both the fastest ladies (that would not have happened with me even in a skirt) and you got nearest the average. As for Tim & me we might have scraped under the 25 mins, as Philip said if I had not gone on the front at all!
Well done Simon T & Dale what a fantastic time only to be beaten by marvelous Marcus Solo!
Good to see Caroline & Barry competing together in preparation for their forthcoming Nuptials.

Here are some photos at the end, sorry didn't get winning ladies and only managed one of  Geraldine on way home over Box Hill on her warm down. Sorry Andy missed you!

Final photo is of sunset over Epsom Down's a lovely sight at the end of a good event! Well done everyone.

Cycle Safety vs HGV

Please go to the CTC SWLondon Blog and read my account of the MET's attempt to get cyclists to understand the problems HGV drivers have in seeing cyclists in blind spots. It was an eye opening experience to be invited into the cab of a very expensive massive Merc truck, sit in the drivers seat and be demonstrated the blind spots by a police officer who positioned himself around the truck in the blind spots. I have to applaud the MET for this initiative, which clearly would cost a lot of money to stage. Look out for where the next demo takes place. I think it would be well worth while for all of us to go through this demo when the opportunity arises around London.



its also worth noting I got a free Bike Register on my Van Nich with ultra violet coding which is now on the national data base to help recover if stolen.

Club BBQ sat 18th July

4pm at Jake Garys garden. 29 Kendor ave. Bring meat or something for the buffett and drink and chairs if needed. All members and family invited. All cycling friends invited. I wont be cooking so we will need volunteers after Brian has got it going. I wont be sorting food or serving drinks so find a home for your food using plates and bowls in my cupboards. Make your own tea coffee etc. Pray for good weather this year, it chucked it down last year as we watched Cav crash out of the tour on telly! Any questions email me.

Henfold Lakes - up in smoke



Sad news about one of our favourite local cafes. Will probably make Tan House very busy.

Sunday 14 June 2015 Training ride

As we had not had enough from our open 10 seven riders had an enjoyable ride to Strawberry Fields in Horsham. MHM suffered badly on the steeper hills which is par for the course for me in my later years. However to record the ride and to thank Jake for taking the time to organize these rides here is a picture without the "Beatles" Strawberry Fields for ever!
