A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

Club Members Road Race-22nd September

Postby Ben » Thu Dec 20, 2012 2:04 pm

A date for the diary, Club Members Road Race - 22nd September (am). Venue Cyclopark - The Tollgate, Wrotham Road, Gravesend, Kent DA11 7NP

More details, will follow. However there will be more than one race, as one of the aim's is to encourage beginners to take part and to accommodate the different levels.

Most importantly, there's time to train and to encourage fellow members to take part, especially if you think you can beat them.

Update: Circuit booked from 9am to 1pm
Mr Paul Tunnell to be commissaire

Think of it though, you'll be another nine months older - not worth bothering I reckon. Same goes for the Shadow.

Good work Ben

The circuit is booked from 9am to 1pm. Everything else is to be decided. Though the idea of having to wear the club jersey, (New or old) in the A race appeals to me.

Really looking forward to this, but I'll have to get training...maybe not with the Training Group though, they'd drop me before we got out of Coulsdon :oops:

Hopefully they'll be a good turnout so we can all have a race, should be a good day.

60kg and under race
60 - 80kg race
80kg and over race

I think that is fair and will give everyone a race.

Ur, I was contemplating going for 90kg and over, but thought that I might be racing on my own, actually......

Well, A word for the vets, surely we can't be contemplating pitching 24 year old against 64 year olds and calling it a fair race?? so I'll happily enter the 80kg+ 60 years+ division - anyone else up for that?
