The start sheet for next Sunday's Hilly 30 can be found here.

I should have known it was too early to herald spring in last week's report as it was bitterly cold at 9:00 by the Clock Tower this morning.  The good news was that it was very dry despite the occassional snow flake fluttering down, meaning there was no ice around.  We were pleased to be joined today by a new rider James, so with regulars Gurpal, David, Rob and I that made it five of us braving the cold and poorly surfaced South Bucks roads this morning. 

After last week's miserable conditions, this weekend saw many groups of cyclists enjoying the improved weather in the Chilterns.  Amongst them a group of 10 (me, Dan, Daniel, Mark, Mark, Gurpal, Rob, Ollie, Sam and Malcolm) set off from the Clock Tower this morning, although Malcolm having come to collect subs and hand out cards only came with us for the first part along the A4.  After a bit of a discussion of how much time we had spent cleaning our bikes during the past week and who now had the shiniest chain we decided to set out to climb Pishill which we rarely do as a grou

At least we didn't get the snow and ice we feared earlier in the week, but otherwise the reliability ride kept up the tradition of being wet (very wet) with some bitingly cold winds.  So it was great to see a turnout of 13 riders at Braywick including a prospective new member Matt.
