Riding to China and beyond

Hi I'm Greg, you may remember me from winding up Kevin by going helmetless on club runs, and perenially coming 3rd in club TTs.

On May 20th I'm going for a bike ride. This is quite a long one though: I'll go to China, then down Southeast Asia, then possibly South America depending on how fast I'm ...

Re: Look Keo Blade Carbon Cromo Pedals

Joe, I've recently switched to Time and have some Keo blade pedals hanging around. I'll take some pics and drop you a message this evening shall I?

Re: Team Swift 10 tonight

Well done!

I just realised I missed the deadline for the one I wanted to enter so you'll be streets ahead of me until at least mid July. Enjoy it while it lasts ;)

Re: Try-it TT event. Thurs 1 June

I'm down to marshal this but we've got four - how many are actually needed on this course?

Re: Weekly call for marshals - Thursday 18 May Sutton 10 SPO

Paul, it's important to consider what you say: the events have been running for fifteen years without incident - that's several thousand individual rides - so why are we suddenly getting all scared that they're dangerous, first with the Sutton course and now with the daytime rear lights? Surely the ...

Re: Weekly call for marshals - Thursday 18 May Sutton 10 SPO


The other comments around the roads used are valid though, I feel safer of a more main road as drivers view is generally better anyway and the approach to roundabout and junctions is often better, but it is down to the rider to be safe. I went ride at the last turn (not on to the wrong side of the ...

Re: Weekly call for marshals - Thursday 18 May Sutton 10 SPO

Just a couple of points I wanted to bring up following Thursday evening's time trial.

As you know I was marshaling at the junction of Pottery Lane and the Strensall to Sheriff road.

The first one is regarding rear lights on bikes. It was a fairly gloomy evening on Thursday and it was apparent to ...

Testers Ahoy! National 50 mile TT and National 3-up TTT

Morning all,

The national 50 mile champs are happening near us this year, between Crathorne and Dishforth on June 25th. I'll be entering, so it would be great to get a team of three entered and try for a placing. In fact, one or two of you might have had me badgering you already!

Entries close on ...

Re: Result - Thursday Evening TT - Sutton 10 Circuit 18th Ma

7th - wow, I'm getting old and slow! That was a good standard of competition out there tonight. Thanks to Paul and Cath for organising. It was also good to see John Cocker back out racing, though I didn't get to say hi.

See you all on June 1st for the Stittenham event!

Re: SPOCO TT 4th & 11th May Time keeper required, & other po

Deadline note: we agreed this year that all marshal posts have to be filled by midnight Tuesday, i.e. if we don't have enough marshals and timekeepers by when we wake up on Wednesday morning, the event won't run - even if everyone does suddenly do a U-turn and decide they can help out after all!
