Club Event, Saturday 5 April 2014

The first of the season’s club events was held under, for the time of the year, fairly good conditions. It was dry, there was some wind and the sun put in an occasional appearance. As is normal for the first event there was keenness about and a record number of sixteen riders took part. Perusal of the annals showed that this was the best attendance since the Club organised an event in conjunction with the CTC Birthday Rides which the South Bucks organised in 1998. The result of Saturday’s event on course H10/2 was as follows:

Rider	Club	Time
Bill Stafford	Unattached	33.05
Grigor McLoed	Hillingdon Triathletes	24.58
Richard Willcox	Bath RC	24.35
Harjinder Obhi	S.B.R.C.	25.19

Club Event, Saturday 2 November 2013

The recent storm made an impact on Wash Hill (HHC026), as was evident from the freshly cut tree trunks by the side of the road, at the ramp section just before the hill flattens out to the finish. Thankfully, the weather was fairly mild, dry, overcast, but not dull. (Later in the afternoon, the sun made a welcome appearance). Sunshine glowing through golden autumn leaves and Beech trees turning copper - yes, that's our South Bucks! Here are the results:

Rider	Club	Time	Points

Joy Payne	South Bucks RC	3:42:13	8

Congratulations to Joy, who'll be getting the Copper Beech trophy (photo) at our club dinner in January (the 12th, iirc). You could say, that this year wife and husband have been "dishing out the Payne..."

Club Event, Saturday 7 September 2013

The light rain which was falling as I rode out to the event this morning did not augur too well for the last club event of the year on the Maidenhead Thicket course.  However the clouds cleared, the rain stopped and a light breeze prevailed.  With most of the club's potential riders away on holiday it was down to visitors to show us the potential of the course which they did in no uncertain manner as the following results show.

Rider	Club	Time
G. Mitchell	Twickenham CC	25:28
J. James	MDCC	24:26
R. Willcox	Bath RC	24:10
J. Roberts	HWCC	22:36
W. Sybrandy	IG Sigma Sport	20:42
D. Thompson	Hillingdon Tristars	23:10
G. McLeod	CTC	25:07
A. Feek	Team Quest	24:49

A great ride by Wouter Sybrandy, who graced us with his presence presumably while tuning up for the Tour of Britain.  We at SBRC wish him the best of luck for that event which starts this Sunday.  

The cumulative points for SBRC riders stays the same, with all to play for in the Hill Climb on 2nd November.

Club event, Saturday 3 August 2013

After a period of very high temperatures and correspondingly high humidity it was a relief for the morning to dawn bright with normal temperatures although very breezy. As can be seen from the results the struggle out to the Twyford turn was compensated by a very rapid return to the timekeeper as the results show. Harj will return to the UK from the USA next week, and on the same day as our event, he was taking part in the Marin Century (couple of snaps from him below).
