Cole Green was awash with HW Blue & Yellow for the TT, yet on his easy 50 from Ware Bob still had seventeen accompany him to Buntingford via a circuitous (tortuous) route devised from his evil, devious mind.  The mediums started out after the TT with about ten riders although Club Pres John had a senior moment with cramp which caused him to return to his car after a lengthy moan and groan at Tewin.  Actually, it was quite scary as there is not a lot of help that can be given.  Memo to JP - see your doctor!  A mixed bag of weather.  Started sunny, got very cloudy and later on the sun sta

Tony maintains his form and close racing amongst the chasers on a bright. autumn morning.

Having put on a lot of weight due to holidays and lack of riding, Peter's back wheel expired as its spokes caved in under his extra weight.  This dropped the easy group down from twenty to nineteen.  The medium group of nine had no major issues, and two others took to the fastie.  JohnP got a surprise as he had seven Come & Triers on his afternooner.  It made up for the time he had no company at all.  Maybe some of these will come back and join us on a Sunday morning!  Nearly made forty for the day.

A nice warm, calm evening at Panshanger. Tony heads the field one again and Ian manages a course PB.

Considering that it was the Bank Holiday weekend, that we had just suffered over 12 hours of torrential rain, and that there were other cycling events taking place - it was good to get twenty out over the three rides.  Nine started at Ware and managed only one puncture between them.  Nine more started the medium at Hertford although this was soon augmented to ten as Alex "found" the group just before Walkern.  A couple of punctures but nothing major.  One rider chose the fast course.

More than 30 assembled at Hertford. Six followed Alex to Woburn at medium pace, around 15 did the 50 mile extended easy-pace to Ardeley and the rest did the 40 mile fast ride. (Hardly worth pumping your tyres up for 40 miles surely?). All enjoyed (mostly) lovely cycling weather and apparently survived despite the odd shower and wasp strike.

Tony wins again, Graeme fixes a puncture and Lloyd Chapman posts a 20:33.

Tony Marriott rode this event on the F1b course. He finished 32nd out of 60 In a time of 1:00:13.

About thirty out today, spread over the three rides.  With only two on the fastie, eighteen went out on the med to Wandon End, whilst ten took part in the easy.  Glorious weather, couple of punctures and jolly bonhomie all round.

The North Weald Handicap Series is run by TLI Cycling London & Home Counties Region. It comprises of 16 Events on Tuesday evenings which started in early May and will finish at the end of August. The races are around a circuit of 2.8km at North Weald Airfield.

A nice, warm, calm evening brought a lot of private entries and some fast times.

A solo effort from Tony yields excellent results in the scratch race and the Devil.

On a warm evening Richard sneaks in ahead of Tony.

Lovely sunny day and lots of riders.  The biggest group took part in the easiest of the tours.  Fourteen set off from Hertford and wended their wonderful way to Whitwell.  After partaking the delicacies of the cafe, all safely made their return.  A good ride for all the right reasons.  Pretty much the same applied to the meds, who went to Buntingford.  The fasties seemed to have morphed into the endurance boys as their thing at the moment seems to be quantity (of miles) rather than quality.  Still, Rikki is being consistent by falling off yet again.  One day he will finish a ride and not sh

On a sunny morning on the A1, Tony recorded 57:31 whilst Phil's time was 1:00:29.

Brian was at the track again. Warm evening. Scratch race was good and with 2 laps to go he attacked and distanced the group.  He was chased by two Welwyn Wheelers who, once they reeled him in, decided to stop working. Some of the riders from the front of the main group caught them with half a lap to go, so he managed to get onto a wheel there.  Two riders went for it and Brian went with them and eased passed them, even having time to encourage the rider that finished 2nd. The rest of the races he didn't figure in but enjoyed the racing.

Tony flew solo at this week's track league.  Weather was fantastic, warm and little wind.  Scratch race first up was very slow and tactical as always with a group of 3 riders getting clear and no one committing to reel them in.  He decided to go for it at just over a lap to go and distanced the pack to his amazement!  He reeled one in and managed to roll in 3rd so was very pleased.

Bastille day, Froome on Ventoux, and given the choice of easies most chose to go with DannyH as opposed to Peter.  Still, mustn't get too upset!!!  The Cube man's obvious charm & elan convinced about fifteen others that he was the one, as they made an uneventful trip to Buntingford and back.

Very hot today and over thirty riders took to the roads over the four groups.  Whilst eight went off to Rayne from Much Hadham another sixteen came through the village a bit later to discover that two major(ish) charity rides were also passing through the village in opposite directions.  It was all too much for the bike of one of our riders and it died of a broken derailleur.  Not having been made properly aware of the easies code of conduct, she hadn't realised that the riders stop at every turning to regroup and if someone has not arrived, then they retrace their steps.  However, the lady
