Cat 5 run led by Cathy P

An excellent night was enjoyed by more than 30 guests at the Harlow Greyhound Stadium on Mark's latest social event.

Cat 5 (PW)

Six takers for this trip to Shenley.  Followed the standard in\back route via Bayford, Tylers Causeway, through the slums at Brooky Park, alongside the A1 & the M25 to Shenley.  The promised rain never materialised and it was a good, straightforward journey.  The only blot on the landscape was coming across a panicky lady who had lost her\a child.  Some horses had dislodged one child before bolting with another.  We helped search, but drew a blank down every lane.  Assumed that the horses made their way back home.

Cat 6 run led by Mike E
A straightforward trip to Codicote was drawn out by four punctures, including one before we set off, plus very slow service at Vanstone's Garden Centre. Still, the weather was great. Eighteen riders over 33 miles.

Lots of work has been done, entries are coming in, many have volunteered their time - but more help is still needed.

There may be just a few senior members of the club who remember Trevor, but sadly we must report his recent passing at his home in Buntingford. He had not fully recovered since he suffered a serious fall earlier this year.
Trevor joined us from the Herts. & Essex Wheelers in 1958 and with his wife, Barbara, they were active members of our club well in to the 1960s, when they rode club and open time trials and took part in club runs and most social events.

Cat 6 run led by Mike E
After the flamboyance and derring-do of earlier summer rides, the category six group repeated a well worn, bread and butter ride to Hatfield Heath and back. No incidents for the fourteen riders over the 35 miles.

Club run led by Mike E
Without the enigmatic Elijah C Gruntfuttock, eight pedalled a virtuous loop to Much Hadham, Standon and Sacombe in one of the ever decreasing opportunities to clock up evening miles, this time 23. There were no takers for the unled option. 8 riders

Congratulations to Peter Walton and Martin Wheeler.

Congratulations to Peter Walton and Martin Wheeler.

Your club is one of the few to organise a full road race. This is quite a spectacle with motorcycle escort, cars carrying the British Cycling "Commissaire" and providing race service, and marshals at road junctions. There will be about 60 riders completing 7 laps of a course near Codicote - 63 miles in total.
We organise all of this - specifically John Pearson and Paul Stewart organise it but they need help from Club members! Please read John's message below and see if you can help, even in a small way.
