Bicycle Polo championship & BBQ – 13th July

Posted on 08/Jul/2011 by Rich Cooper

Sorry for the short notice, but BICYCLE POLO is completely crazy and not to be missed!

Last year we had full teams from the Westerley and the Willesden (3 members in a team). Come and enjoy this prestigious annual challenge between our two clubs.
Who will be the winner of the 2011 polo match? The Westerley or the Willesden?
Get out your old hack bike (mountain bike or otherwise) and come and join us.
Almost as much fun: come and watch the spectacle and just enjoy the barbecue.
Big laughs guaranteed!
Don’t forget the date: 13th July, at the clubroom, 8:30pm.
If you’ve not been down before, check out the map on the link below and we’d love to see you!

Jayne gets 4 medals at the track Masters

Posted on 04/Jul/2011 by Tony Woodford

Jayne’s own report of her weekend at the Masters.
Total haul
2 bronzes – 500m TT and 2km pursuit
2 silvers – scratch and points.

I’m knackered. The Points Race was one of the hardest races I’ve been in. It was 40 laps of Hell.
They put all age groups together. My age group – D – was the most competitive unfortunately , and I had to try to outsprint the best sprinter- Janet Birkmyer AND chase down the best endurance athlete- Clare Newland. Clare and I got away together early on and picked up some points but we were chased down by the As and Bs for some unknown reason. This left me having to have a go at sprinting and as we were already whipping round at near 30 mph, it was difficult and made me feel a bit bilious.
Anyway, overall Janet B won it, Bradley Wiggins’ wife Cath ( A age category) came 2nd and I came 3rd, so I picked up a silver for age group.

John Morris’s Annual Charity Cycle Ride Sunday 26 June

Posted on 20/Jun/2011 by John Wheatley

Club Run Sunday 26 June = Fairoaks Airport.

As an exciting alternative there is John Morris’s/Wembley RC Annual Charity Ride, start 10am from Hit or Miss Pub, Penn Street HP7 0PX.

This year is the 23rd anniversary of this gruelling pub crawl ride which covers a full 15 miles before lunch at Huntswood Golf Club Burnham, returning to the Hit or Miss via Beaconsfield, with an afternoon tea stop at the Royal Standard of England at Knotty Green, England’s oldest ale house.  The route also passes by a number of other hostelries should you require refreshment.

Sponsorship is desired but you can make a donation to enter on the morning.  The ride is held each year in a very good cause.  This year all proceeds will go to the Alexander Devine Children’s Hospice Service.  The charity is working to build a children’s hospice to give more support to children with life-limiting conditions and their families and has already funded a nurse to support children in their own homes.  More at www.alexanderdevine.org
