Showers, new members and a fall...
Submitted by Sarah Davies on 5 August 2012 - 2:52pmI turned up at the Clock Tower this morning in the rain expecting no one to be there - only to find one of the biggest groups of riders we have had for a while (except for Box Hill!). Along with Alan, Gurpal, David and myself, 3 of these were new - a young girl, Sasha and a French father and son Patrick and Pierre. We promised her dad we would drop Sasha back near home in Ascot and wanted to show the 2 French guys some of our countryside.

Submitted by Peter Bell on 6 July 2012 - 8:48pmTVT Takes The Win!
We were delighted to welcome Thames Valley Triathletes to our annual interclub '10' this Thursday. After a few adjustments each team fielded 16 riders on one of the few warm evenings we've had this year. Times were a little slower than expected possibly because of the close conditions.
A great ride to Box Hill

There were some familiar faces, and a few new ones too as we attracted some potential new members to come for a ride. After a bit of faffing with a split tyre, we got away at about 8:20, and picked Lewis up at Virginia Water.

let me know if that doesnt work and I will try something else!
Please can we meet at BRAYWICK at 0800, with the aim to leave by 0815.
