Kingston Wheelers Sporting 14 - event cancelled

From the timekeeper:

"Kingston Wheelers event abandoned.

Just received email from Nicola Wadham

New road works today have closed Ripley Lane and the course is impassable.

Peter reviewed the alternative course but there are also new road works with traffic lights on the Effingham section.

We are very sad - after last year and with a record field."

Through London South District CTT, Mike Kilby (Lewes Wanderers) and Su Balcombe (Brighton Excel) are running a New Time Keepers course again this year.
 
It’s being held on 5th March and the venue is at St. Paul’s Methodist Church Hall, Woodfield Road, Northgate, Crawley.
 
The hall will be open at 7:15pm  for a 7:30pm start.
 
Anyone welcome but can you let us know if you would like to attend so that we have an idea on numbers.
 
If you have access to your club stopwatches,  please can you bring them with you so that you can get used to using them, although I do have a few spare ones for you to borrow on the night.
 
We look forward to seeing you on the  5th

SCCU Sporting 21 mile TT

Dear Competitor,

The Southern Counties CU invite you to stretch your legs and open your lungs on

Sunday 24th March 2013 in the ever popular SCCU Sporting 21 mile TT

which will be held on the truly spectacular and breath taking GS334 course starting and finishing at Bletchingly. This event is also a counting event for Spoco SE. The vets A/S will be calculated using the CTT target times

This event a firm favourite with riders and for many years was organised by Don Glover on the behalf of the Croydon and District Cycling Association and latterly the SCCU. Don had intended to promote the event this year but circumstances sadly have dictated otherwise. No doubt many of you will have, in the past, ridden in events where you were either counted down with the parting quip of “do a good one” or more importantly, timed in by Don.

Don was not a great one for memorials so this year’s event is by way of a tribute to a very generous and enthusiastic supporter of all things cycling.

Do come and make this event one to be remembered and please spread the word far and wide so we will have a field Don would have been proud of. If a little extra incentive should be needed it is expected there will be a generous prize fund.
