I am staggered Willier are selling this! Claire, you don't need a motorised bike for cyclocross, just your legs. Next training session Wednesday 19:00 at Knights Templar.

Some smashing photos there Steve! You capture Lars van der Haar making the move of the weekend overtaking Van Aert on that descent. Even this picture doesn't convey how steep it is. Far too steep to walk up and slippery and rutted as well. It wa…

Great ride out today, thanks for posting this Jeremy. Just amazing being out in the winter sun. Hertfordshire and Essex were looking stunning today; even with some herts thrown in to complete the vista. Tired now though...

Good call Jeremy. I'll be at the Tuns for 09:30. I'll whisper you my mobile...

It was a big day on Sunday. I had to ride the V50 race as I stood to wipe out a poor score from earlier in the season. This turned out to be the case and indeed I improved my best 11 race score by 7 points allowing me more move further up the t…

Well done you two. Just brilliant to read about your racing.

Great news! Tim, Which tyres and 20 or 25 PSI?
-
Loving this!

Tim, I'm in the same state as you. We just need to average 105 mph and we'll be round in the requisite time.

Cyclocross at MK Bowl is a festival of the off chamber. Just about the only sections which are level are the tarmac ones; everything else slopes alarmingly to one side or the other and almost always up or down. A real test of bike handling. The vi…

Happy to help.

Paynes are good.01462 732081 or 07860 723166 Good luck

Totally awsome day today. The course was really good, although on paper it was pretty boring. The woods were like a snarling, barking labrador; scary until you actually got close and then it was very friendly (though the wagging tail was that of yo…

Tim took the very sensible decision not to take 'the blue kite' out of the bag! Good racing. I changed my bike perhaps a little late into the race as it had gained kilos of mud by then. Sadly my front tyre was almost flat (I must have punctured in…

Etape du Dales on a fixed wheel bike. I'm not sure it has been done before. I think it would be a first Robbie...

The Sunday Club Run is a staple of my cycling; however now that my very sole is fed by cyclocross I totally neglect the Sunday Club Run in favour searching for muddy glory. So, like Tim, when the CX season wanes I will be out on Sundays. Liking the…

Great news. Jackie, I am utterly delighted for you. Absolutely deserved. Congratulations. Well done to all CCA riders. Daniel
-
Cool! Looks really useful. Good luck tomorrow for all those taking part. Daniel

Redgrave was a good race for me. I had a good start and refused to be bogged down by the mud. So riding in quite a high gear I could 'float' over the mud and maintain pace. The problem with this is it is a high torque endeavour and I consumed my r…

A great weekend of racing but as Tim points out the stand out news is the return to the grid of the greatest of all Pell's. Welcome back Shelton! This is right where you should be: racing and having the most fun it is possible to have.

Sorry to hear this was disappointing. Probably with something like this you want to evolve the ideas a bit before going for a big launch. I feel for the organisers; must have been a nightmare. Hempton (today's Eastern League CX race) was the compl…

Oh dear, I hope the injuries were not serious. Yes tough conditions. I confess I had to mouth expletives to get round; nearly came to grief at several points. (Including the cheeky move on the second corner I was copying from Archie Foulkes). H…

Sadly I can no longer do this race - I have family commitments I need to prioritise. Good luck to all who do manage it.
-
I thought the course was good; nice wide paths for the most part. Sorry you had mechanical issues Richard. Sorry not to see Noah nor Sam racing; I wish you both well and a speedy recovery from your respective injuries.

Care needs to be taken when catching the train as the one shown in the photo is going to St Albans. As for you James, I suggest when you get to the restaurant to remember to 'Use the forks'

A good report here in VeloUK written by Fergus Muir LINK
-
I am having the same issues!
-
Happy Birthday Robbie! Sorry I couldn't join the ride on Sunday. Welcome to the grown ups! Daniel
-
These are Fergus Muir's photos, thanks for letting me post them here Fergus!

We did lose quite a lot of blood, nothing too serious I don't think. We were very happy to have Claire Lewis as our capable First Aider. Time to check over your bike Steve and put a drop of oil on your chain. Next up is the fantastic Mistley, desc…
