🔥 Racing News…

Hill Climbing

Things are looking up! Or at least the racing is.

We’ve got members in the Southern Counties Hill Climb up Firle Beacon on Saturday morning, and the Butts Brow Hill Climb, Eastbourne, in the afternoon.

Dig out your cow bells and give them a cheer if you’re in the area.

Look out for the results next week.

👏 Ride of the Week

Neil Edwards - Three Days, One Wild Ride

Neil joined 17 other riders from the finance industry for a 470 km/300 mile ride from the London Eye to the Eiffel Tower this week.

What started as a casual spin under blue skies turned into a war of attrition through driving rain and wind strong enough to blow the bike sideways.

Fortunately, his training on the Forge Rides to Seaford and Beachy Head stood him in good stead!

Three days later, soaked but smiling, he rolled into Paris.

Collectively, the ride raised more than £40,000 for charity.
