TIME TRIAL : BOGNOR REGIS CC 10 (P901/10) - 7th JULY 2016
Two of our riders opted to skip the WECC evening 10 for a rare chance on the A27 course (which is the opening 10 miles of our usual inter-club 25 mile course). Both recorded good times and Mike won his age group.

TIME TRIAL : ESCA 25 (G50/10) - 19th JUNE 2016
TIME TRIAL : TEAM AXIOM (P885/25) - 12th JUNE 2016
Despite how it looks on the photographs this was a seriously wet day and more than half the field opted not to start.
After much prevaricating Ian and Mike both opted to ride and were pleased that they had done so. Ian's 56:26 beat his previous PB time by almost a minute. Mike had ridden a 15 and a 10 the previous day and so was delighted with a 3rd fastest ever 25 time and an age group win.

TIME TRIAL : TEAM AXIOM 10 (P881/10) - 11th JUNE 2016
Mike's second time trial of the day, and he is delighted with 21:26 which is just two seconds slower than his PB from last season and is an age group win.
TIME TRIAL : SCA/WECC (G15/93) - 11th JUNE 2016
TIME TRIAL : HIGH WYCOMBE CC 25 (H25/2) - 22nd MAY 2016
Mike is rewarded for a long trip to Buckinghamshire and his first ride on this course. A 56:23 is his third fastest ever 25 (and his second fastest of this season). It wins him £35 as 4th on vets standard.
TIME TRIAL : CHARLOTTEVILLE 50 (H50/8) - 8th MAY 2016
In high temperatures Trevor puts in a strong ride to put down a good early marker for the club's fastest 50 of the season. Mike faded badly very early on in his ride and did consider packing. He eventually finished over 7 minutes slower than in this event last season.
TIME TRIAL : SCA 25 (G25/93) - 1st MAY 2016
The temperature was actually at zero for the early riders, whilst the later starts had to contend with congestion due to the concurrent triathlon.
Trevor continued his fine form in 25's this season with an excellent sub-hour ride. For the second day running Mike is pleased to retain his SCA Vets title at the distance (and also with another £20 prize money), but not so happy with his time.
Martin Booker and Rick Hughes (a personal best for the course) both put in really good rides in the conditions. Colin was pleased too with his course best. Phil was happy to get round and to not shred another tyre.

An excellent turnout on yet another cold morning, and some good performances in the conditions.
Schaeff wins the Junior/Juvenile award. Mike retains his Vets 10 title. Dom is the fastest of our riders on the day. Phil Frean also rode but an unexpected manouevre by a lorry driver caused him to brake abruptly and to shred his tub.

A brutally cold morning with freezing sleet. Rick warmed up and then decided not to race (and he was not alone in making that decision). All of our riders opted for winter clothes to race in.
Trevor Leeding gets his very own montage of the huge incentive of chasing someone down on the line. It reminds me of one of those books that were animated by flicking through them at speed.
TIME TRIAL : ESCA 10 (G10/87) - 23rd APRIL 2016
Yet another cold day with an adverse northerly wind in a time trial season that has yet to see any decent weather. This was Rick's first try out on the course.
TIME TRIAL : ADDISCOMBE 25 (G25/54) - 17th APRIL 2016

The attire of our riders will give a big clue as to the temperature for this race. Almost zero! Well done to Dom for beating the conditions and posting a great time.
TIME TRIAL : SCA 2 Up TEAM TIME TRIAL (GS/987) - 17th APRIL 2016
Chris and Schaeff in good formation with Schaeff having a rare but welcome outing on a time trial bike (borrowed from Chris). They finish in 1:14:06.
Also riding in this event were Rick Hughes/Trevor Leeding (1:08:57), and Paul Townsley/Spencer Kirkham (1:18:01).

TIME TRIAL : FARNBOROUGH & CAMBERLEY CC 25 (G25/54) - 16th APRIL 2016
Mike O'Gorman on his way to a 58:19 in deceptively cold conditions. Ended up shivering at the end.
TIME TRIAL : SOUTHERN COUNTIES CU 25 (G25/54) - 3rd APRIL 2016
All of our riders captured in action at the Broadfield roundabout.
Trevor Leeding on his way to fine 58:49 - and he clicks his Garmin immediately after having passed the finish flag.
The battle of the Treks.
