Club Event, Saturday 6 May 2017

The very strong North Easterly wind put paid to the aspirations of riders in the second of the Club’s events at Maidenhead Thicket. For the first time, I think, we had a DNS as one of the riders from the Didcot Phoenix had forgotten to bring his cycling shoes with him. The full result is as follows:

Rider	Club	Time	Points
John Bridgman (trike)	SBRC	41.17	8
Gary Ford	Team Bottrill	25.03
Michelle Ayres	SBRC	30.29	9
Alan Alcock	Didcot Phoenix	26.04
Pete Warwick	Didcot Phoenix	DNS
John Sullivan	Westerly RC	23.32
Bob Hewett	SBRC	29.52	10

Cumulative Points (SBRC First + 2nd Claim Members only):

Rider	Points
Michelle Ayres	17
John Bridgman	14
Joy Payne	10
Bob Hewett	10
John Payne	9
James Roberson	7

Club Lunch, 2 April 2017

Once again the Club lunch was held at Bird Hills Golf Club. The excellent carvery was enjoyed by eleven members with much jocularity and plenty of reminiscing. The Club secretary presented Michelle with the points trophy for her to clean for the next year. In order to instil more completion for the trophy it was decided that in future second claim members will be eligible.

Club Event, Saturday 1 April 2017

The grey morning gave way to brighter conditions for the first of this season's events on the Maidenhead Thicket course. Several guest riders swelled the ranks on what was, by rider consensus, a fair morning. Joy Payne was our fastest rider in 27.35 closely followed by husband John in 27.56. Michelle Ayres recorded 28.24 followed by Jim Roberson, who was making a time trial comeback after eleven years, in 29.04. John Bridgeman forsaking the tricycle for a solo finished with 36.40.

In order to instill more completion it has been decided that second claim club members will in future be eligible for the club points trophy.
