'Mobility Trust ' Charity '10'
Submitted by Anonymous on 17 June 2012 - 9:59amA very wet evening led to a small number of riders taking part in our Charity event to raise funds for the 'Mobility Trust'.
Even so with the donations we received together with money donated directly from the Club we were able to present 'Mobility Trust' fundraiser Jayne Jupp with a cheque for £250 to go towards helping a seriously ill gentleman in Reading with the purchase of a suitable electric wheelchair.

The ‘Mobility Trust’ Charity ‘10’
H10/2 7.45 pm start
It is recommended that a working rear light, either flashing or constant, is fitted to the rider's machine in a position clearly visible to following road users and is active whilst machine is in use. For later starters a front light could be a sensible choice as well.
We'll be pleased to see all of you at our social evening at the Shire Horse pub after the event.
Box hill ride
Submitted by Sarah Davies on 28 May 2012 - 11:27amAs Heather and I climbed a beautifully resurfaced Box Hill on the London Revolution, we thought it would be a good destination for an extended club run one Sunday morning. I mentioned it to the Clock Tower guys yesterday and they also thought it would be fun to do!
So, how about one Sunday in July (perhaps not the last one!) we set off at around 8am, cycle to Box Hill and up it, have a coffee (and maybe a cake!) at the top, then cycle back?
Anyone interested? And if so, what date?

Submitted by Andrew Payne on 16 May 2012 - 9:21amLast Tuesday I went and spent a couple of hours with Chris Ball at Apex Bike Fitting. Those who attended our annual dinner in January will remember he was our guest of honour. I found the experience very enlightening and worthwhile. Chris’s mechanism for bike fitting involves spending about 45mins pedalling (on his BioBike) at a constant cadence while he electronically adjusts the bike frame and notes the impact on heart rate.
Bird Hills 13th May - was today easier or harder than the previous week.
Submitted by Andrew Payne on 13 May 2012 - 9:22pmEight riders got to the golf club for days ride, and those present last week being keen for an easier ride. We headed off to Bourne End to meet up with Simon who was competing in the H25/2 tt this morning. Coffee was declined by the group at Simons house and we set of a few minutes later with Simon in tow recovering from completing the 25tt in 57 mins about 40mins earlier. Within 200m Mike got a puncture after running into a large pot hole.
Clock tower run 13th May
Submitted by Sarah Davies on 13 May 2012 - 5:12pmWhat a lovely morning! Makes such a difference to see the sunshine for a change, although there was still a bit of a breeze. 6 of us today, Gurpal took charge and we decided to do a big loop - some to the South and some to the North of Maidenhead. So from the clock tower we went through White Waltham to Twyford, 4 of us picking up the pace a bit as we did so. We waited for the others at the lights then trundled over the A4, through Sonning and up towards Sonning Common.
