Bird Hills 30th March - Heather takes a sprint victory
Submitted by Andrew Payne on 31 March 2014 - 4:19pmWith the day starting cool but promising to get warmer the group gathered wearing layers that could easily be shed. Brett was the 1st doing this and left a layer under the trees in the Bird Hills driver way. The other pre-ride discussions included Heathers encounter with a dog at the end of a race on H10/8, why Simon and Colin caught vastly different amounts of sun while spending a week together in Majorca and riders ages as Colin and Heather shared today as their birthdays. In terms of the route, Les wanted to follow his ideas from last week, prior to various riders shortening it.

MDCC riders supported this event for many years and some ex-members still attend.
Clock Tower Ride Report, next week Reliability Ride
Submitted by David Dyer on 9 February 2014 - 3:17pmGiven the heavy winds and flooding there was much debate under the Clock Tower this morning about which direction would be easiest / safest. As if to emphasise our concerns was the fact that Heather had joined us being the only member from the Bird Hills group out riding. Fortunately Gurpal then arrived with Katie on the tandem. Gurpal always has a plan and this morning it was to head towards Windsor Great Park. Unfortunately we had barely reached Drift Road before one of the pedals had come off the tandem.

Time Trial Update - February
Submitted by Anonymous on 2 February 2014 - 9:20pmDates:
The club dates are agreed and loaded onto the calendar with just a few to add/amendments soon.
These include the West London Combined events - Remember that the WLC events are free to enter for club members. We’ll be in touch nearer the time for each and it would be good to increase club participation on these (but free doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to be a no-show).
Further details can be found on the CTT and WLC websites too:
