Another week of bad weather to test everyone's resolve but once again there were still some rides happening,I only managed the Sat training which this week saw a good turnout, not sure about Sun as I was working but don't expect there was a great turnout as it was chucking it down in the morning, hopefully we are going to see a change soon and the tracks will dry up in time for our race at Black Park

Anyway looking forward Monday its is club night at The Crown from 9 p.m. onwards, I can bring the spare shorts/longs/3/4 down as well as club water bottles if anyone wants any of these.Wed morning TBC there is a 3hr road ride from the Malt Shovel leaving 9:30 if anyone is off during the day.Not sure about the night ride this week but if there is one it will be posted up on the home site.Thursday evening once again there is road training at the Hillingdon circuit , Sat there is no Lookout MTB training as we are going to have a ride to Black Park for a race recce, meet either at the Malt Shovel 9:30 or the car park of the Park at 10.Sunday for the MTB racers there is the second round of the Gorrick series to be held at Crowthorne and hopefully we will see a good club turnout.No doubt there will also be a MTB social ride once again this will be posted up on the forum/calendar
