Best of luck to all those Wanderers competing in this Sunday’s ESCA100.

With the five fast men (ND, AC, MW, PB & ML)  competing we should be in with a good chance of the team prize.  If form is maintained AC should break his PB by at least 10 minutes and hopefully MW will have an incident free ride.  Last year was mega windy and I also had a puncture, so with an uneventful ride this year I am hoping so a 5.20 or so and with a generous 88 minutes handicap you never know.  One thing is for certain, with a smallish field I will have opportunity to wish most competitors well as they pass me!

PS1 If anyone want to sponsor me while I raise money for the ‘Hospice in the Weald’ on the 24 please contact me.

PS2 Any takers for the 24 hour support crew on the 24-26th?  Leaving Friday pm. - Simon

A surprising number of Wanderers entered today.

Congratulations to Andy Cox who took a huge 5 mins off his 50pb, I punctured with 2 miles to go.

Didn’t get times as I was too grumpy by the time I got back to HQ.

Hope you all had a good weekend

Does anyone have a turbo they want to sell? 

I’m sure we all want to say a big thank you to Jan for organizing our TTs.

Even if I rode like a donkey, I enjoyed last night and if you can attract a field of 50-odd riders on a Monday night… it’s clear that people think that you run a good event.

and all the helpers, marshalls, timekeepers and pusherofferers.

Another great wanderers club event, despite ESCC highways seemingly using the club TT programme as the basis for their roadworks schedule, adding a lot of stress to the organisers other tasks.

I was expecting much tougher conditions with the wind but was great out there in the end, particularly down towards Earwig.
