Hillingdon 4th Cats
By Steve. Saturday was my targeted opening race, 4th cat only at Hillingdon, manageable stuff, but the optimism of knowing I should be able to do well in these races now did actually create a bit of pressure, Luckily I laugh in the face of pressure, I have trained all winter with the PB race team..!!!! ???? My preparation ... Read full race report
SERRL E123 Road Race Chilham
By Andy. Paul kindly offered to drive, he wouldn’t accept any petrol money and he even bought me a tea after the race. A standard hour in the car for a serrl race. We left at 7:45 not too early, but i’d had a late one the night before. This tends to affect motivation to hurt ... Read full race report
SERRL 234 Road Race Benenden Sandhurst
By Chris H. I rolled up to the lead car in my first road race, a 100km 2/3/4 in Benenden. It had been 8 months since my shoulder had separated in a crash in a C3/4 CRIT race on the south coast involving an ambulance and copious amounts of drugs (isn’t morphine great?). The end result was ... Read full race report
London X-League rd 12
Cyclopark East ‘The Badlands’. First race after Christmas and a horrendous weather forecast; January ‘cross is upon us. The course this week was largely flat and grassy but was slightly inclined and exposed to really strong winds and lashing, freezing rain. The promoters Bigfoot had created a track which on first inspection looked pretty straightforward but once the ... Read full race report
SE Regional Cross Champs
By Ed. Top Ten in Regional Champs! This weekend, across the land, each region had its cyclocross championships. Ours was combined with the Eastern region to make it twice as hard – cheers guys! The course was very traditional with lots of wide, muddy track and a big hill to go up twice per lap. I held back a ... Read full race report
London X-League Rd 10; Cyclopark, Gravesend.
By Ed. This was a big race for me, perhaps the biggest of the season. It was on home turf (this is where I train for both road and ‘cross racing), with a course that would not look out of place on a world cup event. We are now fully into the ‘cross season proper, with leaden ... Read full race report
East Kent League – Rd 3
By Ed. New league, new venue, slightly smaller field but still containing half a dozen people who’d already beaten me this season. The course was excellent. It’s theme was off-cambers which means riding along sloping banks rather than straight up or down them. When it is muddy (which it was) these features test nerve, skill and tyre ...

Stu Gets His 2nd Cat
By Stu. In Friday’s very wet and windy race I came 3rd… Yep, 3rd again! However, I am chuffed to bits as today I gained my category 2 race licence 🙂 a massive achievement for me! I want to thank Barny for all his help and advice, much appreciated mate! Also for our mental training rides with the ... Read full race report
