Fareham Wheelers Road RacePhil entered this race with 2 other team-mates on the Portsdown Hill circuit on one of the hottest days of the year so far. He was very active from the off and in several breaks, but unfortunately these didn't stick and on the last lap the bunch came together. Holding off the cramp, he still managed an excellent 7th place.
Race 4 life
On the same day Gilly, Gaby and Clare ran 3 miles for Cancer Research at Southsea, excellent run in very warm conditions for a worthy cause.
Time-trials - 24th July 2013
After missing a few evening 10s I raced our evening open event on the p881r, going reasonably well until reaching the Prince's Bridge fly over when I was faced with a woman sat in the middle of the road screaming in pain, a car had pulled out in front of her, which was also in the road. Luckily the accident had taken place on the fly over and after the woman had calmed down, the injuries weren't too serious and was driven back to the HQ and then to the QA to be checked over.

Tom started his new job today as a Commis Chef, working Monday to Friday with weekends off.
However, most days are 8am till 11pm with one 7am till 11pm thrown in for good measure.
Staying at Forest Hill with his mate Alex.

Excellent achievements for both of them.

Myself, Gilly, Phil and Clare went to the Langstone for a last chance dinner prepared by Tom before he goes on his big adventure in London.
Lovely taster menu of 6 courses.

Went to watch Trevor on his balloon flight from Anstey Park in Alton, he'd been given the ticket as a birthday gift 2.5 years ago.
As they were getting ready one of the organisers mentioned that there was a spare seat for £60 which I snapped up.
Awesome experience with an extremely dodgy landing in Grayshott Spa, clipping a tree and ripping the balloon in progress.

...a3crg promoted this Surrey League handicap race around the Milland Hill circuit. Dull and dreary evening with a mixture of 2/3/4 cats.
Phil entered and started with the last to go 2nd cats, starting approximately 4 to 5 minutes behind.
Over the first few laps the time gaps were consistently falling, although on the 2 laps to go board there was still a gap of 2.5 minutes. Unbelieveably on the last lap the leading group of 3 riders were only 30 seconds ahead and by the end of the dual carriageway Phil and 1 other rider had caught the lead group.
Once they reached Milland Hill, Phil made his move and was well clear for a fine victory.
