Club Event, Saturday 2 June 2018

Very humid and dull conditions prevailed as the riders ground their way along the A4 to the turn at Twyford. They were, however, rewarded by a good, strong tailwind from there to the finish. Michelle Ayres was the only solo Road Club rider finishing with 28.25. The other two Road Club riders were Ken Powell and Gary Wells who rode a two up - as this was Gary's first time trial - recording 30.34. The full result is as follows:

Club Event, Saturday 8 April 2018

Luckily, after the recent spate of rainy weather, the morning dawned dry but cool and overcast for the first of the year's club events. Slight gusts and significant headwind from the turn hampered the riders. However, the biggest obstacles were temporary traffic lights on red in both directions creating long tails of traffic for the riders to negotiate. Consequently, times were significantly affected.

Club Event, Saturday 5 August 2017

The weather relented a little for the latest club event at Maidenhead Thicket, producing a benign morning with no rain and little wind. Our fastest rider was James Roberson with 26.29 although he confessed to be only ‘riding round’ as he was due to ride a ‘50’ the next day. Michelle Ayres finished with 26.46. Joy Payne decided to save her energy for the same next day ‘50’ which unfortunately for her and James was abandoned soon after the start due to a traffic accident on the course.
