Racing round up

Last Sunday saw the last individual cyclo-cross event of the year for the London League held at Dunsfold. Shaun Smart, Pete McGuiness and Mark Holland rode. The latter making his cross debut. Shaun was 17th, Mark 49th and Pete 53rd. The full results are here.

Mike Marchant finished 31st and Paul O'Donavan 46th in GS Stella's traditional season opening, and hilly, 18km time trial. Paul and Mike were both suffering colds so they failed to show at the Sunday event. Full results here.

Mark Trevis finished 36th in the E12 road race at Hillingdon. Full results here.

Perfs

This Sunday sees the real start of the road racing calendar at Rowlands Castle with the classic Perfs Pedal race which was first run in 1964. The list of winners is like a whos who of British national champions and professionals. Full start list here.

This year's race features a classy field including our own Toby Neave, Mark Trevis and Liam Terry. The race starts on the green at Rowlands at 11:00 and finishes 70km later near Forestside.

The bad news is that the cafe at Rowlands is closed! Mama mia!

How many people know why it's called Perfs?

Events update

I have finished updating the new events page on the website. This now includes "local" cyclo-sportives and leisure events including ones suitable for youths and inexperienced riders.
