Velo clinch Portsdown TT League team
Well done to all those who took part in our first year of the Portsdown TT League. We won the team prize at our first attempt. Full results here.
Many thanks to Mike Marchant who pursued our membership and organised our first Portsdown TT.
Cyclocross skills Saturday
Don't forget its cyclocross skills on saturday, 4pm at Hunters Race. You can just come and watch if you like.
Update on Garth
Garth is still in hospital in Worthing. I've sent him a card on behalf of the club. See below. I was tempted to put "hi big boy!".

Mark Dinwiddy's bike nicked
Mark writes ...
"If you have ever had your bike nicked then you will know how gutted I am.
My Gary Fisher Big Sur and a set of 700c fulcrum racing 3 wheels with brand new rubber have been stolen from my locked and bolted shed despite the bike being secured with thick steel cable and padlocked. the gits first made easy work of accessing my locked garden gate and compound here in Bognor Regis.
I am pretty sure that this is a targeted theft as other older bike wheels and frames and tools were left untouched.
I am awaiting SOCO but I dont hold up much hope of getting my kit back. I urge you all to be wary and security concious in case there is a gang opperating in the area.
I'd be grateful if you could give me a nod if you are approached about buying these items.
Many thanks
Mark DW."
