There were only 3 active members this year, Simon, Lisa and myself. We all started with good
intentions, to race as many Handicaps as possible. Lisa rode the first 4 and then found the 7.15 start too hard to reach after work. Simon rode 3 events and won 1st 4th cat twice and his highest placing was 11th which was fantastic. Lisa had a 1st lady in one race. I rode 5 Handicaps and the South East Ladies Championships at windswept Goodwood, where I came 7th.
Our contribution to the Surrey League was to hold 2 Time Trials round sporting courses at Leigh and Rusper, These were “enter on the line” as well as pre-entry and were quite successful. The local road racers were mixing with time triallists, which made a nice change. We also made tea and cakes at another event and made £70 profit in all.
Next year, the Surrey League wants us to promote the same two time trials again. The provisional dates are Leigh on the 8th June and Rusper on the 28th September.

PS The fact only 7 ladies rode the championship is my secret.
