Wigmore Cycling Club

As I have said often enough. "Nothing Happens Unless One Makes it Happpen". When I got this Show on the Road way way back in 1976 I was told by those in the know that I would be wasting my time. The Kent CA Hill Climb had recently been taken off the Calendar because of lack of entries.

The new club clothing is now on order for all those members who have placed one. Here's the new look jersey to wet your appetite if you haven't placed an order yet.

After 6 races in dust and sunshine, it seemed inevitable that a change of weather was due. Now right in the middle of the 17 event series the rain set in. Event 8 was at Stanmer Park in Brighton and the weather forecast was for heavy rain. It turned out to be mild and sunny although rain on preceding days made the course very slippery. Paul and Dave arrived a bit late after an eventful drive so didn’t have time for a proper warm-up. Paul got a very slow start and, like last year, struggled on the long climb each lap.

Please see the new 2010 calendar of the South East Road Race League Below.

The two patient’s seem to be on the road to recovery and are out of hospital. Eunice had a hip replacement and is out walking and hopes to have the other hip replaced early next year. Meanwhile Graham is still on medication but the tumour has shrunk and he is now back working and said “he feels his normal self “(really, is that a good sign ). Hopefully 2010 will be a better year for them.
