New members

Welcome to our two newest members, Mike Miles from Emsworth and Andy Matthews from Birdham. I know that Mike, at least, has been partaking in time trials.

More success

Fay Cripps, our pedalling teacher, is our latest winner this year. Fay took first place in the women's event at the Goodwood Spring Challenge by a clear five minutes. Anne Marshall was 6th although still riding for Hants RC.
Shaun Smart was second in the veteran men's competition. Pete McGuiness was 24th in the same event. Full results here.
Congratulations to Richard "Pastie" Bevan who finished third in the 4th category race at Chertsey and in the process moved up to third category. Richard can be seen in the picture below sprinting it out.

Shaun Smart finished a career best 5th at Dunsfold Park on Tuesday, with Liam Terry 17th, Mark Trevis 39th, Mark Warrington 63rd. Eugene Bardwell also started, but was a non-finisher.
Liam Terry had been in action at the elite BEC CC race at the weekend and finished a very creditable 12th against strong opposition.
Mark Trevis and Mark Holland rode the Team Axiom Tour of the Mulberrys 2008. Mark Trevis finished 13th overall. The race largely being decided by the first stage time trial. Full results here. Mark found the race hard going and was eventually dragged off his bike by race officials.
