South Western Road Club: Buzzard 600km audax
http://southwestern-swrc.blogspot.com/2015/06/buzzard-600km-audax.html
South Western Road Club. Monday, 29 June 2015. Paul had decided he needed a bit more training so I met him at the start outside Leighton Buzzard railway station, hence the event name. Paul, Matt and Nick had done their 600km event in May at the Bryan Chapman event that crosses Wales, twice. Again you have 40 hrs to complete or from Saturday morning till Sunday evening. There were about 30 riders at the start. My brevet card and receipts at the finish. Wetherspoon's breakfast - Only £3. Not a Bath bun.

South Western Road Club: Build a Season
http://southwestern-swrc.blogspot.com/2015/07/build-season.html
South Western Road Club. Monday, 6 July 2015. I decided a few more racing miles were in order. Final preparation with my Time Trial Guru Mick 'The Quick'. It's a few years since I'd ridden it but. This year it was designated as the. VTTA national '100' so well over 100 riders on a chilly but. A bit of colour in a dismal Spring. Anfield is classed as a SPOCO. Mick came out and gashed his leg on. His pedal so had to be taken off to. Hospital for stitches (17! And I was left with a sense of a. Next up I had...

South Western Road Club: Keeping on Track
http://southwestern-swrc.blogspot.com/2015/07/keeping-on-track.html
South Western Road Club. Thursday, 23 July 2015. Watching the racing at Newport. A few weeks of racing dominated by the Track, I entered my first proper 'Open' meeting. There was Ladies and schools. So plenty of time to recover between the races. I didn't show myself up too much in the 'warm-up' Scratch or Points races, not out first in the Devil (but suddenly ran out of puff! Ceremonial Opening at newly re surfaced Halesowen. For 9th but when you are in the company of the World Champion Peter Ettles.

Trans-Sundayriders: Megavalanche
http://trans-sundayriders.blogspot.com/2008/07/megavalanche.html
Tuesday, 22 July 2008. Monday, July 14, 2008. Woke about 7 am to torrential rain and went to sleep until 9.30. I tried to track stand but the bike just moved forward with both wheels locked. So, nothing for it but to try to bunny hop him. I remember hearing my self shouting ‘Coming through! 8217; and wondering what it would be in French? On the steepest section, I fell and slid for 400 metres on my backside, I remembered to hold onto my bike with one hand! I had a look at the front mech to see why I coul...

Trans-Sundayriders: Cape Epic 2005
http://trans-sundayriders.blogspot.com/2008/03/cape-epic-2005.html
Monday, 17 March 2008. The Sunday Riders go to South Africa for the Cape Epic – an 8-day mountain bike stage race from Knysna to Stellenbosch, a distance of 900km. The Epic organisers have set up a transfer service to Knysna from the Protea President Hotel. We get a courtesy bus there from our hotel and bump into another mixed pair from Scotland. I know that a colleague of Jim's is doing the race and indeed it is the same person – Jeff and Maggie (Team Bling! After breakfast we go over to Paul’s ho...

Trans-Sundayriders: Trans Wales 2007 by PF
http://trans-sundayriders.blogspot.com/2008/03/trans-wales-2007-by-pf.html
Monday, 17 March 2008. Trans Wales 2007 by PF. And so on Saturday 12 August 2006 I headed for Wales with Julie M Dinsdale. What's the M for? It's the road we took to get to Wales. We were doing a mountain bike event that started the next day. There were long rides every day that weren't timed but had to be completed within time limits. On four out of the seven days there was also a time trial which was timed. Are you following this? For those that wanted it there was bacon or sausages. I arrived back wit...

Trans-Sundayriders: Bike Challenge Poland 2006
http://trans-sundayriders.blogspot.com/2008/03/bike-challenge-poland-2006.html
Monday, 17 March 2008. Bike Challenge Poland 2006. This year’s bike trip sees us peeking behind the iron curtain and entering the BikeChallenge race in Poland. The next morning we unpack the bikes and I’m appalled to spot a rip in my rear tyre and a deep scar in the front. I can't believe it - I’d ordered new tyres weeks before but they hadn't arrived and the spare tyres, that I didn't feel confident on, I'd left behind due to weight restrictions but they'd have been better than nothing! The Bike Challen...
