Tour of the Hills Sunday 20th August – volunteer to marshal

The Tour of the Hills is the Club’s major event and requires a large amount of support to enable it to take place, including volunteer marshals.  Marshalling is not an onerous job, but an essential one, as well as being very rewarding; competitors in the past have been full of appreciation for the work of the marshals.   The event is now only 4 weeks away, on Sunday 20th August, so please volunteer now by contacting me at johnmatsouthview@btinternet.com.  Those first to respond will have the best chance of getting their preferred marshal post and time slot (early – 10.15 onwards, late 12.30 onwards), so please let me know your preference when responding.  Whenever you assist, please make sure that you visit Shere Village Hall and tuck into the superb food provided by other club volunteers, for both you and the competitors.
It is worth mentioning that the Tour of the Hills, although having a deliberately low entry fee, enables the Club to remain solvent and help pay for such universal club benefits as ICE (in case of emergency) cards, subsidies on club clothing, and first aid training.  It is therefore so appropriate that it is supported widely by club members.
Thank you for your support.

100/75 mile rides Sun 16 July

Change of start location.

Although the cafe at Rokers is still open, the golf course is not, which means the cafe and the car park close too early for us to use for these events.
The event will therefore start and finish at my house, Hunters Moon, Weydown Lane, Guildford GU2 9UT. Parking space is limited, so if you can cycle to the start, please do.
Entry fee will still be £2 but this will include refreshments at the start and finish.

Happy cycling

Roger
