Race Report W/E 22nd March

March 23, 2020

As I sit watching Boris urge us all to stay indoors, I hope that everyone is keeping safe and well and as far away from each other as possible. We are being a responsible club, and have cancelled all group training sessions, however many of our coaches have stepped up to the challenge by offering […]

February 18, 2020

With Dennis hot on the foot of Ciara, who would have thought we’d have any racing this weekend. Well, we did. One mildly intrepid soul on Saturday, and two far more adventurous / foolhardy club member on Sunday – both running.   But before we dig into the weekend’s stormy exploits – it appears that […]

Abingdon Crit Race Report, by Heather Mayer

February 18, 2020

On Saturday, I made a trip up to Abingdon to race in a criterium – a bike race on a relatively short circuit which you ride around multiple times over the course of 40-50 minutes, with the aim of being first across the line at the very end. I’d chosen to do this race somewhat […]

Race Report W/E 9th February

February 11, 2020

Well… we just about squeezed in the final races of Cross Country before Ciara hit. This was the only racing of the weekend, but some great performances nonetheless. Lloyd Park held up its reputation as a set Sam Mendes would be proud of. Slightly more genteel conditions in Richmond Park. All followed by a well-earned […]

Well, a lot has happened since our last Race Report, not least a changing of the guard at the top – welcome to our new Chairman, Richard Harper.

January 20, 2020

Well, winter briefly showed its face this weekend with ice cancelling the Saturday morning ride. And, for the most part people either elected to stay indoors (doing dry January and eating pity chocolates or claiming a turbo session). However, we did have one brave soul out racing.     Run Through: Richmond Park Half Marathon […]

Storm Brendan fortunately decided to arrive after the weekend, resulting in relatively “pleasant” off-road conditions for our two penultimate Cross Country matches of the season.

Race Report W/E 5th January

January 6, 2020

Happy New Year, and welcome to a new decade! Hopefully we’ve all rested and returned fresh, if not a little heavier and in need of our well run training sessions. Some of the club kick started their calendar year’s racing this weekend (I’m guessing it offsets the depression of taking down the decorations). All running […]
