Congratulations to Tim and Debbie, they each recently competed in a road race in Cyprus, Debbie was podium in her age group (no need to ask a lady which one), Tim finished fourth, and they therefore both qualify for the World Championships in Varese later this year. They should be out today riding with us lesser mortals, hope some of their expertise rubs off.
Thinking forward to glorious summer cycling days, perhaps you’ve just decided you want a challenge.

I write on behalf of VICTA, a national charity in the UK that works to empower children and young adults who are blind or partially sighted. We work hard to help our youngsters question limiting presumptions they might have, helping them to view themselves and their potential in a new way. We want them to be able to make a difference to their own lives.
Help us to help more blind children.
Kind regards

The next quarter’s rides have now been added to the calendar and can be downloaded from the downloads page. If you have installed them on your smartphone they should automatically update.
The Midweek Wayfarers have two new start points, one near Aldershot and one near Shalford which will open up new areas to explore.
Owing to deep snow and too many icycles, this event is cancelled. Many apologies.

In case you’d somehow overlooked the fact, it’s our First Event of the Year tomorrow and the weather isn’t looking promising from a cycling point of view. I don’t want to cancel it yet because all the forecasts say something different and there might be someone out there unafraid of the zero temperatures. If the snow doesn’t hit us over night, there’s still a possibility that the roads will be dry, but it’s important to bear in mind the effects of cold on the accumulated choss which covers copious sections of the route. It really was very dirty out there yesterday when I rode the full route in fine conditions.
My reluctant recommendation would be not to ride the Icycle tomorrow. If anyone chooses to ride and s/he comes to grief, then they must accept the fact that they chose to ride against my recommendation; I will not be held responsible!
I’ll be posting an update at around 8.30am tomorrow morning, at which point I will decide whether or not to officially cancel the event. So if you’ve still not decided to call the whole thing off, please check out this page tomorrow after 8.30am.
Here’s hoping for a heatwave over Easter!
