Club records
The Club Time Trial records have just been uploaded to the club website. It now seems unlikely (given all the traffic lights) that anyone will ever beat Dave Wain’s Totnes to Teigmouth and back record set in 1960 in an impressive 1.13.36.
However lots of other records are up for grabs. And some of the clubs talented teenagers should definitely have a look at Andy Parker’s 10 & 25 mile Juvenile times set in 1987 when toe clips and steel frames were standard and Tri bars had not been invented (Lemond first used them to win the final time trial in the 89 Tour de France)
And following the recent club AGM new Club Record categories have been added over over 40s, over 50s, over 60s and 70s.

National 50 2012 hits Devon (and it's a fast course)
On the weekend of 23rd/24th June the National 50 is coming to Roche, Devon. The womens race is on Saturday and the mens race is on Sunday (which unfortunately clashes with the Dartmoor Classic.
This is one race that is likely to be oversubscribed so we recommend you do the test event (on the same course) that is being held on 13th May organised by One and All Cycling.
