Frank is Back

Hi all it was great to see Frank is back on his bike - amazing and he is truly that! Due to his fitness and a very remarkable man he was out on his bike today with the CTC MWW at Ellery Hall Teddington and he rode there on his bike  to greet along with Ron and Doreen, Ray Dare and all his CTC mates. Judy also made it on her bike and thanks to Ron Pat Mathews and others went to lunch. Pat phoned me this evening to say thank you for the cake etc which it was my pleasure to provide to celebrate my B'Day on 29 Oct., a memorable date as it was 4 years ago when a former KPRC club member Allen Roodenburgh passed away!
Its unlike me but I do not have a photo to show but Frank who has been without a computer for some time told me that the KPRC AGM will be on first Wednesday of December and he will put out a notification to this effect. So put it in your diary and do try to attend!

Sunday Rides Winter 2015

As clocks change tonight we get into the winter rides which start at 9.30 to avoid frosty mornings. Horton Park carpark by toilets. I cant lead every week so we wont have a ride every sunday unless someone steps forward once in a while. One extra leader a month would be great. This sunday 25th Oct we doing leisurely run to Rudgwick brickworks cafe 45 easy paced miles. Next week is The Southern Counties dinner so im not out. I will post my rides every week on this blog so you know if there is one.

Redmon 2-up from a H/C perpective

Well done Simon & Dale based on Vet Standard you were the clear winners and well deserved! As for the rest there was 8 seconds between difference on Vet Standard - now that is very close from a H/C point of view. Now then Brian a challenge for 2016. It was a great event and I enjoyed it immensely! I understand that the Vet standard was based on a 15 mile TT with no correction for the 18 mile event i.e. the Vet standard was not 15 divide by 15 X 18 corrected which explains why so many were negative!

Redmon 2-up

Well done Wheezy for great photo's. As special thanks from me to James "Tim" Roberts for pacing me you were perfect and much gentler that son Tim. James I have a certificate for you (in Tim's name) but maybe we can Doctor that you deserve it (even though I paid for it! Joke). I took quite a lot of photo's including the winners as I stayed for the presentation but I will just publish a few.

First one is of Sean Yates signing a book for a lady! Second is a sneak pre-view of the result sheet. Mike Morley was accredited fastest Old Fart on an Old bike on standard time. It seems that I was expected to ride an old bike which I have but I had not got it ready. So I had to be honest (what me!) and decline the award as I rode my new BMC. You will need to magnify this photo to see result.



One more photo the even more evergreen Ray Dare



Redmon CC Grand Prix Des Gentlemen

A great event this morning with 7 KPRC riders out taking part in this 2 up TT. It got a bit windy later on but conditions not too bad. Another great ride by Dale and Simon T to be the 7th fastest team overall. Dave Watt did a great job towing me round for 20th, with James 'Tim' Roberts pacing the evergreen Mike Morley. Rachel Watkins was riding with her brother Steve, ably supported by Joe B.
