RESULTS FOR 2008:
Event 18: Dan Knight 10, 13/08/2008. Wet, windy and all round disappointing for the last 10 of the club season. Oh well, there's always next year!

Event 17: CEBAR 3 Cities , 10/08/2008. A rather windy and at times (mainly around Hereford) wet outing for 4 brave cyclists. Nathan took the wrong turn at Tewkesbury (normally people get lost in Worcester or Hereford!) and then punctured in the rain just before Hereford! Guy charged round on his first outing of this great event. Young Claire, also on her first solo 3 Cities race, did well too.

Event 16: CEBAR CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP 25 mile TT, 06/08/2008. The evening was dark but dry with a nagging wind from all over really. This did not make for particularly fast times - but it was experienced by all competitors. A field of 15 riders came out to play on the last 25 of thwe club events season. Club Champions are: Guy Preece (Mens and Vets); Claire Taylor (Ladies). Well done to them!

Event 11: 25 mile TT, 02/07/2008. Reasonably windy, particularly on the return leg to the finish, and a little damp near Ledbury - but with interesting views of May Hill, wrapped in cloud. Credit to Malcolm G for breaking under 1.10, to David B on his first 25 ever and bettering evens, and to young Clare romping round on a 'heavy' bike.

Event 10: Dan Knight 10, 25/06/2008 A windy evening but dry saw a number of good rides and PB's on the course. Not good for Guy, puncturing at an inopportune moment. Well done to Matt for breaking inside 30 minutes for the first time - with a long 28!
