Seven club riders and former club member Ivan Logan took on this year's club hill climb.  Wet weather over the previous 24 hours made for a very greasy surface cuasing riders to lose traction and spin their wheels, and consequently times were a little slower than the last couple of years.

Adam Wild took the win less than two seconds ahead of Craig Gow, with Joe Tubby in third place.  Henry Knight and Matthew Wells fought a tight battle for first placed youth, with Henry narrowly taking it.

The club's President's Ride is taking place on Saturday 10th September this year, and now is the time to book your place on the ride!

For those new to the club this year, the President's Ride is the club's biggest club ride of the year - in previous years we have seen 80 riders taking part.  The ride is starting from Thorneyford Farm at 10am, from where several groups will take different routes to converge on the Church Hall in Horsley for a buffet lunch. 

Those taking part are invited to arrive early at Kirkley Cafe / Thorneyford Farm to see what the club's youngest members get up to at their Go-Ride sessions at the farm - the cafe will be open for a pre-ride tea or coffee.  There will also be a club photo taken at 10am so come along in your club jersey if you have one.  There is parking at the farm for those who are driving to the start.

Places for the buffet on the club's annual President's ride are strictly limited to 80, and must be prebooked and paid for through the website here.  The cost is £5 - subsidised by the club for £2 per head, so club members only.  Closing date to book and pay for your place is Monday 5th September.  The ride is likely to be oversubscribed so the recommendation is to book your place as soon as possible.

If you haven't been able to secure a place for the buffet, you are still more than welcome to join the ride itself but will need to consider an alternative venue for lunch.
