A reminder that the next event will be on the Q10/18 Polhill course at 7.30pm. This will be organised by the 7Oaks Tri. Hopefully the weather will be good!
The following week we are down to run an event on the Q10/27Brands Hatch course, this will start at 7.15pm. Originally this was to be a 2up, but to try and get more people riding from all clubs this is now going to be a solo event. Obviously would appreciate people’s assistance with this.
Thanks
DT
The results from last night’s 10 on the Q10/27 Brands Hatch course are now live.
Results of the last two events held are now live.
Shame there are more people racing generally and especially for us!
Once again I intend being out for the Club Run at 9.15 at the bottom of Polhill. Anyone else intend being there?
DT
A late reminder that tonight’s event takes place on the Q10/29 (East Peckham) course and is being organised by the 7Oaks Tri starting at 7.30pm. Hope a number of you will be able to make it.
DT
Following on from yesterday it looks we have the following teams so far.
Richard and Fergus
Robert and myself
Anyone else going?
DT
A reminder that the GS Avanti are organising 2 Up on the Q10/27 Brands Hatch course tomorrow evening. Who intends riding so we can sort out some pairings?
Thanks to Chris Balkham for his 2nd claim membership
The weather wasn’t too bad last Sunday in the end. Rob Royston, Ben Thomas and I did a loop out towards Gatwick and back. As it stands it is not looking good for this weekend, but hopefully it will change.

DT
It was good to actually have a TT happen last night, even if there were only 13 people riding.
Thanks to the following;
Dave Mulford – marshalling (and allowing me to get a ride)
Doug Bentall – marshalling
Robert Royston – time keeping
Bob Loader – boards and assisting with time keeping
Pete Mahoney – marshalling
We need to get more riders out for these events!
Next week the event the GS Avanti are organizing 2 Up on the Q10/27 Brands Hatch course. So start thinking ahead about pairings.
The weather forecast seems to change every few hours at the moment. Yesterday the BBC said it was going to rain all day Sunday. Now it looks like it is going to be dry in the morning but cloudy. So on that basis I intend being at Polhill for 9.15. Anyone else out?
Regards
DT
A reminder that it is down to us to organise the 21 mile hilly this Thursday.
Bob is going to check the course later as there were temporary lights on Chiddingstone Causeway. He also intends putting the boards out.
To run this event we can get away with 4 people really, but if we can get anymore to cover extra marshalling points it would be appreciated.
So far I have Doug offering his help.
Look forward to hearing from more of you
Regards
DT
Robert Royston rode round the course yesterday for the 21 mile hilly taking place tonight.
The temporary lights on Chiddingstone Causeway have gone and the whole course was clear so it is going ahead. Bob will be dropping all the signing on sheets, numbers etc at the start before he goes off to put the boards out.
As I mentioned the other day we could get away with 4 people really, but needed more to cover extra marshalling points. It looks like we have the same faces;
Doug Bentall
Robert Royston
Bob Loader
Pete Mahoney
Me
Fergus is riding. Anyone else
Regards
DT
Tonights TT at East Peckham is cancelled due to the conditions.
As you can see from the attachments the Avanti club are trying to organise the first of two events to take place this year at the Cyclopark for this Saturday. The third attachment is a PDF explaining the event and the second is a signing on sheet.
The first attachment is basically the conversations had since.
If you are interested in taking part you will need to get the signing on sheet filled and these need to go back to Sam Dorkings (details in first PDF below).
Email transcript Event Information
Sign On Sheet
Drove the course and there are traffic lights at the top of Rushmore near Coolings Garden Centre. There was no one there to ask about them but that don’t look like they are going anywhere fast so have cancelled the event.
Mike Thorogood has advised that his company are setting up traffic lights on Rushmore so event might not take place.
Going to check it out lunchtime.
Keep an eye out for updates
Thanks for the responses regarding assistance tomorrow.
As a result we now have;
Dave Mulford – Marshalling at bottom of Cudham Lane
Robert Royston – Timekeeping
Peter Mahoney – Marshalling
Jon Coulson – Marshalling
David Twin – Signing On/General Dogs Body
Bob Loader – Signs
Now we want some riders.
See you there
The next interclub event takes place Thursday on the QS/30 Cudham course at 7.30pm.
This is a Sydenham event so we need at least 5 people to help run this event. Look forward to offers of assistance.
I have provisional results from last weeks events but there are a couple of things being checked before final distribution.
Just a reminder that club runs are still happening on Sunday mornings at the bottom of Polhill at 9.15.
Last week Pete, Rob and I were out. Going on the good weather forecast it would be good to see a few others this week.
Who intends joining?
Regards,
David
Following on from yesterday, the course was checked last night and was clear. So the event is going ahead.
Hopefully everything will be the same tonight!
A reminder that the next interclub event takes place tomorrow on the QS/30 Cudham course at 7.30pm
This is a 7Oaks Tri event.
Just for a change there are threats of roadworks at the bottom of Cudham Lane due to broadband works. The roadworks site reckons this should be gone by 4pm tomorrow.
Obviously 7Oaks Tri will be checking this out and confirming the position. Hopefully you will see a further message tomorrow confirming the position (also something on Twitter if cancelled).
Regards
DT
Just got a message that the event tonight is cancelled due to the windy conditions
DT
Following on from yesterday’s email a few people road out during the day and evening and there were no sign of any roadworks so the race is going ahead as it stands.
