Magic Homes Criterium – Saturday 20th February
I like to start my season with a circuit race (short, no hills, no cars) and Saturday seemed as good a day as any to pin my first number on. The chosen event was the Magic Homes Criterium at Hillingdon, a 3rd and 4th cat race over 25 laps, about 25 miles.
Considering the weather recently it was a great day with sun, a dry surface and not too much wind. The race was aggressive from the start but no one could hold a gap as riders were keen to blow off the cobwebs and chase anything up the road. I attacked 4-5 times up the drag to either start something or bridge to a group but it came to nothing and a bunch sprint settled things. Whilst I felt great, I started my sprint too far back (not the last time you’ll read that) and came across the line mid-pack.
Having whet my appetite my next race is 14th March in the Dunsfold Surrey League event.

SWRC Quiz Night

Folk,
We have decided to organize a Quiz Night on 9th Feb. at the club room. This is the brain child of Dudley Samuels who has worked hard on assembling the questions. We will start the quiz at 2100hrs.
To give you some information I list below the salient points:-
We have 30 questions – which will take about 1 hour..
We propose to have a number of teams & it would be good if we know who is coming early so we can make an effort to organize the teams efficiently!! We propose to have teams of 4 people each. The winning team will be reworded at the club lunch & prize presentation.
Subjects covered on the quiz will include Le Tour , Paris-Nice , Paris-Roubaix , 2 General cycling questions , BCF , CTT , SWRC , Team Sky
We are looking at the catering options & therefore we need to know who will participate. We have a Committee Meeting on 25th Jan. & it would be useful if those who have decided to support the quiz night would let me know before then so that we can take decisions based on facts. Once we have the requested numbers I will let you know what catering will be laid on.
This is a great opportunity to use our clubroom for a social event & I hope many of you will support us.
