darn, will probably miss it again! My wife is doing her first triathlon that day, so family support needed.

Job done

This thread is a tad barren. Do we have any idea who will be participating. Clearly there needs to be enough for a race!

[mrP(Boonen)VT]

Sadly it clashes with the Hounslow 100 so I will not be there.

[Snoop Doug]

Come on folks - who is going...?

I ain't riding but will be along to support. Great day for a picnic I think...?

Hope to see a few of you out there

Cheers - Snoop

Anybody riding over there? Her indoors is lunching all day with some posh types up in the city so Im at a loose end today.

[Snoop Doug]

See you there folks, I've just emptied Waitrose

[Antloony]

Well I got there in the end despite getting a little lost, its a bugger of a place to find.

Very few turned up, real big shame as this could have been a great excuse to get the family out, have a picnic and watch some great close riding.

Big thanks to Mark for organising this. I'll be there next year to have a go.

Well done to all the riders who took part, I'll let them tell their own story.

Thanks also to Snoop for the food, Steve B's other half for the coffee and chat and Alan M for showing me a faster way of getting home.

Cheers all.

[Alan M]

Thanks again to Mark

I need to work on my sprints but lovely afternoon well done the winner!!! In view of the modest numbers suggest the following:

1. Combine induction same day as race and pay for tailored programme to train ACC track newbies - we have enough members to make this viable-

2. Allocate funds for first 10 rental bikes free to new rider who complete an induction and race that day on first reserved basis and pay for this from club funds. These 2 actions should ensure a critical mass take part for next year's races.

costs likely to be less than £100 but benefits could be enormous, weather permitting

Cracking day out Gromit I'd anticipated a few more might turn out so brought a tidy picnic which we've just finished now (sound of waist expanding). Very impressed with the riders today. The Shadow continues to power on, Keith K gave 'im a good run for his money and respect to all the ACCers who turned out and battled in the intense heat and boy - it was windy too eh wot Hat's off to Mark Leedham for pulling all together and in Huw, well let's just say we couldn't have wished for a lovelier bell ringer...lovely.

I aint never been to any of these track events but they do look good and from what I have heard having spoken to various folk who have done it they sound good.

Would have loved to have come today but been on my stag since wednesday and only just got back so maybe some time in the future???

Well done to all who took part, did addiscombe win anything?
