Tim it's never too early! Nigel doesn't hit his 22's without doing the same, i see he's suffering on his turbo already. Road racers - can you recommend any races in the first half of the year? And who doesn't want more bikes. I've already planned t…

I checked with the organisers and the award is given to riders in the 100km route only, not including the 55km. So we would need most, if not all, riders doing the long one. I've come up with this hilly training ride which could be done as a club ru…

Hi Adam, even i did think after setting off early on Saturday 'what am i doing'! I have sent you a whisper.
-
Well that didn't go to plan, i missed timed getting to Croydon Hill and the search was fruitless from there. Wild goose chase All i saw was John in Ashwell and Cam in a train of three heading out of Bassingbourn. At least the crowds in Ashwell c…

After a puncture disaster ride yesterday morning I'm scrapping the jobs I had planned for today and meet this ride somewhere on route.

Great, that's 4 down, 16 to go.....

A grim day matched by a grim result. Sudbury Open Hill Climb results There were 24 riders who placed a time, i came in a lowly 17th. I was far too overgeared at the start as i thought the start line was further back on a gentler incline, which is …

Just come across another great video which shows the crazy things people do to keep the weight down on their bikes: Me and my hill climb bike I'll be getting the drill out tonight in preparation for Sunday........
-
Signed up, then found out i have a wedding to go to the same day! And this would be the No Excuses sportive, no refund, which they're upholding even this far in advance. BUT they did say they could transfer me to another event, and look what is hap…

Does the membership year run April-April, so as i joined in July my membership will run until April 2013?
-
Looked amazing Martin, i thought the crowds were decent at Catford but this is something else. Bar Pullar winning by a clear margin, the performance of the day was James Knox at 9th, he is only 16!!!! One of the riders has written a great blog her…

I think that's where I'm doing myself no favours, i don't have winter specific tyres. I'll keep those in mind, thanks. Entry is open for the Wiggle No Excuses Sportive in Huntingdon for March next year, details here Anyone up for entering for this?…
-
You weren't lying Nigel, at least I'm getting well used to changing tubes. My tyres are starting to look pretty shredded now though and it's only just winter. Even with this set back my aim to obliterate my previous ride time succeeded.
-
Just a reminder about the Sunday Emmitremus ride as Nathaniel asked, all details here You can enter on the day and there is a fee, but also spaces are limited and might not be available. Myself, Nigel Hale and John Riddett are doing it, looking fo…

Just a note that this is the route for the Emmitremus ride from Stevenage: MAP So for anyone on any of the Sunday rides you can either join the crowds or avoid altogether.

Thanks, ordered. This is after buying 3 for £10 at the weekend, emergency buy Now i am prepared for winter!
-
Yes Nigel I'm down for the long one. Sounds like you've been training?! I'll stick my competitive hat on.
-
Would it be useful to have a 'bad roads' thread to highlights any problems like this? Not sure if it would work, but any kind of info like this would be helpful i guess. However seeing as i ended up trying to negotiate a flooded ford yesterday, I wi…

Today was the most ill prepared i have ever been, with some ill-timed problems thrown in! Arrived late which meant i was last to ride (luckily) but then a puncture 10 minutes before i was due to set off meant a mad scramble back up the hill to my ca…
-
I made it onto a Video! At 2:09 I look very slow! Will work on that for next year.

Yes Tim the oldest continually run cycle event in the world, 117th Year. Started in 1887 and has only missed two years since then. Max won it 8 times and was 3 times runner up. In the 1930's Ernie Hussey won it 9 times consecutively. What i have jus…

What a Hill Climb, absolutely brilliant. Amazing atmosphere. Every club cyclist should try this once. I unfortunately didn't post an amazingly quick time, and rather like the Inter climb I was agonisingly outside a 2 minute time. But judging that s…
-
Start list is up, 150 entrants, wow! I also appear to be not only the one representative from Hertfordshire but from anywhere in the home counties. I will be happy with a top 75 finish, helped by the fact i luckily have an early start time.
-
Enjoyed that, the hill was a great example of pacing yourself so you don't blow out on the steep. I never actually worked out where the start and finish were until I coasted down for my start, a few others weren't expecting the flat sprint at the en…
-
There is a revised start list that has replaced Nathaniel with Phil K, so we are back to being 1 short! Unless its an error.
-
I will ride over if it's not due to rain, so will decide when seeing the forecast the day before. I'll be coming from Great Chishill, so if people are riding over it would be easier for me to join the group after Baldock somewhere depending on the r…

It's on Sharpenhoe Road between Sharpenhoe and Streatley, Bedfordshire. There is a pub at the bottom, it starts just after the pub car park and there is a line on the road that marks the finish. It doesn't finish anywhere near the crest of the hill …
-
Congrats Theo, very close! Thanks Tim for putting this on, and the pusher and start time keeper. Tim, what's the chance of keeping this hill as the hill climb route for every year onwards? Might be an idea if others like consistency. I personally '…

I'll be starting from Ashwell next time, what I thought would be a short route home from Langford actually meant I did over 90 miles, ouch! Cheers guys for the ride.
