Olympics
Myself, Phil and Trevor went to watch the road race today, caught the train to Guildford and cycled over to Leatherhead and then over to Headley nr Boxhill. Thousands of people lined the streets to create an amazing atmosphere, unfortunately Team GB couldn't match the hype and failed to grab a medal.

New car
12th July 2012
At last! Gilly has a new car, its been a long journey and I don't just mean the trip to Burgess Hill in the rain! Nice car though and drives really well.

Trailtrax
15th July 2012
This navigator race started from the Flower Pots at Cheriton, unusually for this year the sun was shining! However a lot of the trails were really muddy and overgrown and this made it particularly tough going at times. Myself and Trev did really well though and came 1st in our category, as usual the 3 hours ended a bit too quickly and we didn't quite make the full-house of check-points as we'd hoped, but a good result all the same.

Surrey League
8th July 2012
Phil raced today in this hilly-ish road race around Cuckfield, usual 2nd/3rd cat race over 70 ish miles. Typical weather for July, which was heavy showers followed by heavy showers with the occasional burst of sunshine, oh that was when he had finished!
Very early on a break got away with 3 or 4 riders, this then whittled down to just one rider who to his credit stayed away for the remainder of the race. 2 riders finished just head of the bunch with Phil winning the up hill bunch sprint for 4th place.

National Team Time Trial
30th June 2012
Myself, John and Rob were riding as the "B" team today with Phil, Seb and Graeme as our "A" team in this National Team Time Trial over a sporting 37 miles at Preston Candover.
Unfortunately Graeme punctured on the first lap of the two lap course which put paid to Phil's ride, however on the plus side my ride with my team mates went very well, finally putting to bed our extremely bad ride together early last year at Kent. We all rode together extremely well with myself suffering a slight bout of cramp towards the end, we stayed together and finished in 12th place, which we all were really happy with.
