Sunday WLCA '25' Gurpal snatches 9th in an open event!
Submitted by Anonymous on 2 May 2010 - 3:30pmThis mornings WLCA '25' due to adverse weather, in the interest of rider safety, was run as a '10' using course HCC180.
On a terrible morning Simon Greenland and Gurpal Panesar both rode in the revamped WLCA '10' near Great Missenden. They both prospered from the 60% of the riders who didn't start with Simon finishing 4th in 25:14 and Gurpal snatching 9th in 32:36.
Both of our riders deserve special commendation for riding this event when so many others were DNS.

NEWSFLASH - Chris Taylor Takes On The London Marathon
Submitted by Anonymous on 26 April 2010 - 12:24pmMDCC's Chris Taylor demonstrated yesterday what a talented athlete he is in completing the London Marathon in under 3 hours. Chris told Peter this morning that he had hoped to get near to 2hrs 48 minutes but he suffered some lower leg cramp which slowed him up considerably. He was watching the minutes tick away on his Garmin in the latter stages of the race and only through a last painful sprint was he able to beat the 3 hour barrier and finish in 2 :58:08.
Well done Chris, brilliant effort.

Gervase Takes The Lead!
Submitted by Anonymous on 23 April 2010 - 4:26pmIT'S ONLY TAKEN 130 YEARS!
Last night's '10' on the Fifield course provided a very special landmark in the Club's 130 year old history. MDCC's Gervase Foley took the lead in the Thursday Evening '10' handicap league for the 'Bill Rundle Cup' with 31 points. This is the first time ever a lady member has lead this competition which has been running since the late 1940s. A brilliant effort Gervase. You've just got to keep it up to the end of the season to win the competition outright!
