The 5th MDCC Box Hill ride
Submitted by Sarah Davies on 15 July 2018 - 5:43pm
Its hard to believe we have done this ride 5 times now - how time flies - but I think for me today was one of the best Box Hill rides yet! Of course we are enjoying such an amazing spell of weather, and the 8am start from Birds Hill meant that we enjoyed the nice cool bit of the day as 14 of us set off on the 70 mile round trip to the top of Box Hill and back. Three of those 14 were new members - what a great introduction to our club!

Revised Drift Road 25tt course for Sunday 1st July - Club 25tt Championship
Submitted by Andrew Payne on 26 June 2018 - 7:34pmThis year we using a modified course that starts near Wellers Lane at the top of Hawthorne Hill and finishes prior to the last climb along the Drift road. So this will be a quicker course as you only race up Hawthorne Hill twice instead of the normal 3 times. Racing starts at 3pm.
The start is at OS ref SU882737 and finish SU893753. If you enter this into Streetmap.co.uk and select OS ref you'll get the actual locations. Or email me via the club website and I'll send over an email complete with maps.
Thanks Andrew Payne

Clock Tower Ride Report - 10th June 2018
Submitted by David Dyer on 11 June 2018 - 1:35pmThe average turnout for the Sunday morning Clock Tower Ride continues to grow (15 ish today) and, given the range of preferences and abilities, choosing a route to suit all presented something of a challenge. Fiona, Janette and Emmaline had expressed a preference for a shorter ride at a moderate pace while Deane, Simon, John, et al are all capable of reaching escape velocity.

Temperatures of up to 28 degrees centigrade, saw a decent turnout at the clocktower of Emmeline, Janette, Simon, Sarah, Taran, prospective member Laurence, Deane, Gurpal, Hewan and Rob I. Andrew made a guest appearance but wasn't planning on sticking with us for long as he had plans to race later on in the day.

A Record turnout!

- a record number for any week for the Clock Tower group with some new faces and some people we hadnt seen for years. And five ladies, which I was really pleased to see.
