August’s Challenge is a bit different, it will use the DTCC Strava Challenge 4 Course, which has been set by Paul Paradise and is 19 KMs.
The event will close on the 5th of September.
Start / Finish point is the little layby on Pewsey Road (Horton, top of the All Cannings climb / T junction).
This time the course has to be ridden as a team of two, one member must be female and only one member of the team has to be a club member.
Team members can ride in as many teams as they wish and time will be taken from the slowest rider in the pair, the aim obviously is to keep together and work as a team.
Prizes will be the same as last month but we will use a lottery system, great suggestion from Tom Peart. Every rider taking part will be given a virtual lottery ticket, the winners will be issued two tickets each. After the event is complete a draw will be made and two winners selected from all the entrants. The prizes will be the same as previous events. https://www.rawvelo.com/shop/water-bottle-bundle.
Congratulations to Tom Peart who did the course in an excellent time of 42m 47s, Steve Hoskins will be in touch to get you your prizes. Great efforts from all, full results attached, a massive thanks to everyone who took part.
July’s Challenge is a bit different, it will use the DTCC Strava Challenge Course 1, which was used in April and is 12.82 KMs.
Starting point is on Spaniel’s Bridge Road not far from the Horton Road junction and the Bridge Inn Pub.
This time the course has to be ridden as a team of three, one member must be female and only one member of the team has to be a club member.
Team members can only ride in one team and time will be taken from the slowest rider in the group, the aim obviously is to keep together and work as a team. Hopefully this will promote the club and maybe get some new members joining us.
Congratulations to Chris Goodall who did the course in 36m 23s, and Liz Clark for the ladies who did it in 45m 4s. Steve Hoskins will be in touch to get you your prizes. Great efforts from all, full results attached, a massive thanks to everyone who took part.

Congratulations to Tom Peart who did the course in an amazing 20m 02s, and Nix Briggs for the ladies who did it in 25m 59s. I will be in touch to get you your prizes. Great efforts from all, full results attached, a massive thanks to everyone who took part.

As I move this forward I will start a handicapping system but until we have a few events done there simply is not enough data to do something meaningful.
It would clearly be great if we could get more of the ladies to have a go at these events.
