The first time trial of our season took place on Sunday 7th March, and Sam Hayes made clear his intention of retaining his SPOCO title by winning the
event. Congratulations to Ed Watkiss who picked up the handicap prize, and Clare Simon who was the fastest Lady.
The second SPOCO is this coming Sunday 14th March, to see who is riding and what time the riders are pushed off then download the start sheet.
You can still ride this as a private time trial, just turn up on the day and sign on.
To get on the start sheet for subsequent SPOCO Events then you must enter each Event by the deadline, this is always midnight on the Tuesday 12 days prior to the event:
The months of hard training are nearly over, the actual race experience of competing at ladies road races is nearly completed, the team bonding has been achieved, the team has been selected, the race kit has arrived and the travel arrangements have been made, there are no excuses left its time for the ‘Tour Ta Malta’.
In 2008 Beds Road came 2nd in the NDCA Time Trial Series, our TT Coordinator Des Roberts wants to take us back to the top of the NDCA Table in 2010. Find out about the 2010 NDCA Series here.
Our nominated charity Sue Ryder have asked the Club to identify volunteers to act as cycling chaperones on the course at this event, making sure that no at risk groups undertaking the walk become isolated. The event starts at 12.00 midnight on Sat 15th May and is scheduled to finish at 4.00.am. Although the route is 10 miles the distance required to be covered by the cyclist would reduce as the walk progressed. Full support etc. will be provided by Sue Ryder charity and the HQ is at Bedford Athletic Stadium.
