Short sleeves and some epic rides.

It feels so good to cycle in short sleeve jerseys and bib shorts. Tell me I'm wrong. A real change in the weather during May as we moved from cold and wet days to chilly starts, but with temperatures climbing into the high teens.

To accompany these changing conditions we have been hitting the roads and witnessed some epic cycling achievements. Mixed into the calendar along with some of our shorter, social and steady rides, we ventured a bit further afield and held our first HWCC Brighton event. Some notable and kudos worthy achievements from the day including Tim & Alex cycling up Ditchling Beacon for the first time, Stephen completing his first Brighton return and Tim for completing his longest ever ride and surpassing the 100 mile mark in the process. Well done to all of you. It was great to have some company on the retun journey rather than riding solo.

Stephen has very kindly launched some midweek rides in Richmond Park for club members on Wednesday evenings and Eunice has now completed her first ever pretzel of Richmond Park. Well done to you Eunice.

Sunday 28th May saw the Ride London events return and a chance for cyclists to ride around the capital and into Essex on closed roads. Our friend Alex completed the Ride London-Essex, his first ever attempt at 100 miles and we offer him our congratulations on his epic achievement. 

As you can see from some of these images, more members have now received their club jersey's. This starts to give us an identity when out cycling and we hope it will be recognisable for good reasons. If you see us out on the roads, don't be shy, give us a wave or come and speak to us if you are interested in knowing more about the club. We welcome more people to come along and join us on more of our adventures that are planned for the coming months.

You can visit our Meetup page and request to join to come along for an induction ride or to join our Beginners Group. We look forward to meeting you soon.#
