In the hope that we are in for temperatures above freezing I note the following events. Anyone riding?
21-01-12 Hailsham Hilly 100km - Was a grand day out.
29-01-12 Newlands Corner 100km - Was a grand day out
05-02-12 Pease Pottage 100km - Snow - no go.
(edit )11-02-12 Dial Post 100km - whimped out - too icy, but 60 brave souls started, 52 finished.
18-02-12 Hailsham 120km hilly. Quite a tough day out in scenic East Sussex, especially after three weeks of ice-enforced idleness. Interesting cyclo-cross section to negotiate closed railway bridge. Four RCC riders, sadly one DNF after rim disintegration and a 5 Mile walk back to base. Could have been far worse. Check your rim wear folks.
04-03-12 Newlands Corner 200 or 100km. A horrible wet cold miserable day on the 100km redeemed only by good company, devoted organisers/helpers and a tail-wind home after. Constant rain, except for when it turned to snow. Quite a few DNS - sensible folk.
11-03-12 Otford 100km hilly (deliberately and gratuitously so) 50 km single lap option.
All the above include food.
