Fusion CC have been in touch looking for rider to ride their 10m time trial on the Hatfield Woodhouse course on the 2nd June. If you haven’t ridden a time trial but fancy having a go…why not send in an entry! It’s easy to enter just fill in this form, Entry_Form_2012_Form and post it off to, Matthew Williams, 19 Paddock Way, Dronfield, Sheffield S18 2FE along with a cheque for £8.
It should be a great event and if not too many people are riding, also a great opportunity to grab some points for Je James time trial competition.
See you there!

Teacake regular and secretary of Sharrow CC, Pete has been in touch about a photoshoot that he is arranging with a professional photographer. It is for a sportive that he is helping to organise for the National Trust that goes up the Cressbrook climb. He requires the riders to be out at the hairpin on the Creesbrook climb next Monday, 21st May at 5:30 pm.
Now here’s the extra bonus…the photos taken will be available to you to use as you see fit. This could be the perfect opportunity to get out there in your new Rutland kit and show feature on our site as well as on the National Trust’s site! Fantastic…so if anyone can make next Monday evening, email Pete on sharrowcyclingclub@gmx.com or comment on this post or on facebook! Cheers.
Appols to godsfavouriteangel who took the lovely bus pic featured above…it was the only pic I could find of the cressbrook meeting point sorry!

The highlights for this month are…
STOP PRESS The new kit has arrived and is ready for collection. I will bring all the kit along to the meeting. If you have ordered any then please try and get along and collect it and pay for it at the same time. I think cheques would be easiest if you still have a cheque book. It’s also a great opportunity for you to try on and size up the kit. If you are thinking of ordering some in the next batch again, get yourself along to the meeting!!!
It’s the penultimate meeting in the awesome Palin Suite. It’s sad but it’s true. Just one more month after this of wondrous meetings in the Palin. One of the main choices of this months meeting is sorting out the new venue. But we have quite a few suggestions on the board so come along and help us decide.
And obviously the usual unique blend of cycling chit chat and topical debate.
Basically…It’s going to be a belter, hope to see you all there! 8:00 at the Palin Suite, University Arms.

Rutland were well represented at the latest round of the JE James TT league – the Birdwell Wheelers 25 mile TT held on 28th April.
On a wet and windy day Darren Otter was the first Rutland rider home, placing 10th in 57:12. He was closely followed by Nick Latimer, 11th in 58:08 with Ray Mason in 32nd in 1:05:31.
Rutlander at heart Danny Lowthorpe had a great ride, finishing 5th in 54:32 in the colours of Langsett Cycles RT. International triathlete Philip Graves was fastest on the day, with 53:05.

Despite having great representation at the North Mids Road Race League there don’t seem to be too many Rutlers riding British Cycling Road Races. In fact at the moment in the regional rankings we’ve only got a solitary point, which Nick got in his only road race so far this season (We Love Mountains 2/3/4s, which was a really good hard race).
Anyone else going to be riding BC races this season?

I recently received an email from Nonna’s (La Squadra) crew regarding a weekend of riding, fun, frivolity and over priced cycling kit for the London posse (Rapha 
) being flogged off at discounted prices!!!
It’s happening on the 26th and 27th May and it sounds like it will be a great weekend!
More information on what’s happening when and details on how to sign up can be found here.

The proprietor of the Hathersage Baths cafe (that’s where we go on the Teacake) has asked that we walk past the front of the cafe rather than riding.
That’s from the top part of the car park along the terrace part in front of the cafe. Apparently a small child was knocked over by a cyclist (not one of us I hasten to add) and he is no doubt fearing legal action!
Please all heed his requests, the cafe is great for cyclists and we don’t want to have to go and find another venue for the teacake. Many thanks in advance…
Danny
