Tim, For the club HC can we sign on at the bottom of the hill rather than in Ashwell? I'm only 50/50 for either event at the moment as my sciatica is playing up again, but I will sign up for the interclub. If you're doing the Clappers properly yo…

I've just found out I'm going to be around Sunday so I've added myself to the list. That makes 20 from CCA. Darren

B*!!ger, you beat me to it. Darren

WE WON!!!!!! Some fantastic rides today. Well done to Dave & Jason for their stonking rides. Well done to everyone who turned up, it was a bit blowy. I was 9 secs slower than last year, so quite pleased with that given the conditions. Mind …

Took a ride out to the course this morning to see what it's like. Apart from a couple of potholes after the turn the road surface is v. good to excellent. Traffic very light. With the prevailing SW/W wind the outward leg is fast with the initial …

Andre, I believe as long as you enter as a CCA rider you're OK. My friend is I think with Stevenage but is a 2nd claim with the Nomads. He raced last year in the interclubs and I'm sure his points counted. Darren

Sorry all, I'm away for work so won't be around for tomorrow's session. Darren
-
Very sad that we can't support this event as a club. Good luck to Stef and Mark. When I first raced up this climb I brought my breakfast up at the top, buurrpp!!
-
Quite happy to do this as well but don't really agree with it. All it appears to prove is that I'm either innocent or I am or have been a paedophile but haven't been caught. Nothing like innocent until proven guilty. Darren

Kit, Can you confirm that the armwarmers you had last year were also LARGE. I seem to have lost mine so might be looking for a new pair if I can't find them. Also, can highly recommend the roubaix top. I wore mine with a thin t-shirt underneath …

Sorry Tim, Unfortunately the season is over for me. My lad's playing at Cheshunt on Sunday and Bedford the week after so won't even be able to come and watch. Good luck to everyone who takes part. Darren
-
All, Unfortunately I'm unable to make tomorrow. Apparently our boys fighting overseas need me to make sure they've got enough ammunition. Darren
-
All, May well come along myself depending on whether I can change my holiday dates. Might be in danger of swamping the railways with bikes? Don't use the train very often (read once in a blue moon), is there not normally a limit on the number of …
-
All, Well done to everyone who organised, marshalled, manned (or should that be womanned) the tea bar and all those who took part. For my own part, I was hoping to have gone a bit quicker than last year but didn't go hard enough on the 1st lap and…

Geoff, Hannah and I are off out visiting Saturday but I may persuade her to go out Sunday morning. Darren
-
All, This hasn't been forgotten about. It seems the guys off to Belgium in September might be up for some stuff as well so Geoff is going to talk to youth coach Mark who supplied the coaches' sweatshirts. Darren
-
Hope everyone enjoyed the 15 this morning. The following link should point you to a load of photos taken at the top of the hill. I thought I was slow through complete lack of talent but it turns out I'm wearing a sail for a top. kit man, definite…
-
Geoff,
Can you do that please then. I was planning to talk to the guy we use for work stuff on Monday but if Mark can do a good deal then I'll back off.
There seem to be a few people interested in polos etc but you need to… -
All,
Standard polo shirts and sweatshirts are Fruit of the Loom, I found them on polo-shirts.co.uk. The other design polo shirt (blue with white side panel) is in a catalogue I've got at work and won't be able to look at that again unt… -
Just heard back from Graham at Beds Road. Definitely in.
-
Have any of you had a confirmation email?
I registered last week but haven't heard anything, and don't remember what happened last time.
Hopefully I'll see Graham Laming tonight, I'll ask him then.
Darren -
Stef,
I ride this section of road fairly regularly but normally North to South. I'd say that Hammer Hill is steeper than the Primavera hill (whatever it's called). The road surface is pretty good and apart from the major climb it's qu… -
Geoff,
Don't wait for Hannah and I this morning. We're running a bit late. Maybe see you out on the road later this morning. -
I spoke to Neil Fraser from the Nomads tonight. He's apparently still waiting for the Icknield RC names but is hoping to have the start sheet on the Nomads forum page on Thursday.
Darren -
I should be over doing the Nomads 10 tonight so I'll ask about start sheets. I was informed of my start time for the Icknield 10 but only on the day before the event.
You don't really want to be hanging around for an hour or so if yo… -
Carmelo & Trahern,
I may be being a bit thick, but where is it set out where each of us marshalls should be? (Names not marshalling positions)
Darren -
All,
Unfortunately not around for this event but will be willing you all on in spirit.
Where did you see the course profile Tim? If it's based on the Nomads' 25 course then sporting is an apt term.
Darren -
All,
Spoke to Tim D about this event last week.
What's people's thought on getting some of the youth riders to enter this event and raise some sponsorship money through their friends and family to put towards the youth sect…
