Bognor Hilly
We have a record entry of ten riders in the Bognor Hilly 28 on Sunday, 14 October. Mark Dinwiddy, Jonathan Lewis, Mark Trevis, Toby Neave, Peter McGuiness, Mike Marchant, Tom Spreckley, Mark Staden, Shaun Smart and Lee Hodges. The latter guesting for us. Soon to be member Paul O'Donovan also rides.
Southdown Velo have never won this event, but we have won the team prize a few times. Full details at South DC website.
Thank you
A big thanks to all those who helped in JP's Sussex Border Race 2007 last Sunday. You may not realise that over 35 people are required to help and that doesn't include the kitchen crew. I was very impressed with the turn out from Southdown Velo with only a few people being unable to help. A full report on the race can be found on www.londoncyclesport.com with pictures.

Racing round-up
Tom Spreckley rode his first ever cross at Cowley near Oxford and finished a creditable 18th. Details at London Cycle Sport. With Simon Pattinson having bought a cross bike and Pete McGuiness and Shaun Smart threatening to ride we could have quite a team. As we are now registered to the Wessex League we will score points in their races.

What is Toby saying here as he finishes?
Deffo joining.
Good job the JP's race was last weekend. The WestMardenBerg was splattered with petrol when I rode up there this morning. The lack of grip was bad enough but the stench was diabolical.
