I have just changed the club’s event details to allow pre-entry by the website.
Can you try this link http://www.essexroads.com/events/boxing-day-tt/ and see if you can make a booking.
Thanks

Martin Lewis
Hello
My son is looking for Go-ride road race to try, and I found your event on 12th March on the British Cycling website. His 10th birthday is on 8th March. He has a little experience as a member of the Ely+District CC and has enjoyed doing the Muddy Monsters events this winter.
Can I sign him up for this event? Is there an on-line form? Does he still race with the under-10’s?
Hello, I want to ask a couple of questions about the Spring Lambs Sportive. I have emailed secretary@essexsportive.com which is shown at the bottom of http://www.essexsportive.com/ but the email was bounced back to me, email address unknown. Can you send me an email address so I can send some questions please?
Thanks
Chris
I’ve signed up for the 100k via Sientries yesterday (Dave Ammon) and i’ve had nothing in my email from them to confirm, pretty sure it all worked but would appreciate someone confirming i am booked on.
Also can you tell me where i can get a tcx/gpx of the route please?
Thanks
Dave
Martin
What’s the vertical ascent on Sunday for the long route?
What were the gold / silver / bronze guide times? I thought I saw gold at 5’45” and fruitlessly chased that (and shot myself in the foot stopping to assist a puncture afflicted rider in the home stretch…).
Excellent ride as ever, splendid weather if a fair bit breezier than forecast indicated!! First time I didn’t stop to take advantage of the excellent feed stations as I’d taken enough on the bike to get me around without dead time in transition!
Shame the route overlapped with a road running event, but can’t have everything and it was splendid as ever.
Philip Randle
Hi
Is it ok to turn up on the night or do I need to register in advance for your TT I’m not from your area but I will be working in Basildon on the 10th
It is ok to turn up on the night as a guest but there is a maximum number of riders that are allowed to take part so if I have already reached the maximum I am not allowed to let any more people ride.
Philip Randle
Thanks Len
I will pop along then and see.
Tom Henderson
Do you need a TT bike for this or can you do it on a road bike?
The TT can be done on either a road or TT bike.
Normally best to do a few TT’s on your road bike first before spending any hard earned cash on a TT bike.
Richard Payton
Can I just come along in the morning and join a ride?
Hi. Yes new joiners are welcome and there are new people coming along all the time. Anyone will be able to direct you to the most appropriate group. We suggest joining a couple of rides before making a decision on joining.
Daniel Johnson

Dan Johnson

Think it is a bit late to reply now as you turned up last week. Been busy with other cycling related stuff so not be logging onto the club’s website to reply to comments.
Kelvin Fleuty
Hi do you have to be a member of Essex Roads to do the TT.
Thanks
Kelvin
A member of any cycling club is always welcome to code and ride the TT. There is no restriction to the number of times they do this. The only thing we would ask it hey do more than 4 is to offer to help out by volunteering to marshal at one of the TT’s.
People who do not belong to a cycle club are only allowed to ride 2 club TT’s per year. This is a CTT rule. It is not just 2 TT’s per club but 2 TT’s per calendar
neil chapman
Hello.
Do you or would you accept private riders. I was trying to sort a ride out for a junior in the club (Maldon)
His name is Harry Wood .
Neil

Hi Neil, yes he is more than welcome to come and ride at our events. All he needs to do is contact len at len@essexroads.com. He will also need to sign the relevant CTT forms and have parental consent to be able to ride.

Trish norris
Hi ya, I have just bought a bike and would like to start ride ing with the bike club, do I just come along tomorrow morning and join then?
Hi Trish. Yes just come along. It’s best to come on a couple of rides and then you can decide if you would like to join. Steve Bristow is the club ride secretary who should be there else anyone in an Essex Roads top will be more than happy to direct you to the most appropriate group to start with. Thanks!
Paul Newbury
Hi Matt
Yes I would like to join you tomorrow morning started to ride 3 weeks ago.
Great! Steve Bristow is the the club ride secretary and should be there else anyone in an Essex Roads top will be more than happy to direct you to the most appropriate group.
Hi. I wanted to post a big thank you to the guys who stopped to look after me today when I came off my bike just outside of Roxwell where the road resurfacing is quite dangerous. I think Steve was the name of the Essex Roads member ( sorry if I got that wrong. ) no major damage done, just some grazes and bruises, wonky handle bars and a little pride bruise.
Thank you all again. Much appreciated.
Danny Isaacs
Hi,
I’m thinking about joining and wanted to try out a ride tomorrow, but can only make it to the early bird ride. Is it ok to just come along?
Thanks,
Danny
Hi Danny. Yes it’s fine just to turn up. Anyone in Essex Roads kit will be happy to direct you.
Sam Woodfield
Good Evening,
Due to a very successful result at the Finsbury Park RR, I have now achieved my 1st Cat status for the 2018 season and would like to have some time off the bike for a while.
So it is with regret that I won’t be attending the race this weekend, I totally understand this is late notice and obviously a refund is out of the question but at least it might allow for a reserve to participate.
All the best,
Sam Woodfield
Toby Parnell
Hi there, are you accepting EOL for Sunday’s race?
If you contact Len via Len@essexroads.com, he will be able to advise if spaces are likely on Sunday.
Edward Riches
How about North Weald base 300mmetres up side(?) lane with field and toilets available, all subject to our local permissions, could this work for you in Assoc with other club not cyclists who need funding assistance?

Hi Dave
I’m happy to help this Sunday (25th Feb) but sadly Laura not available
Gill
Someone left a comment on Jo’s post asking if the Hainault Hilly was running. I added the following reply…..
The Hainault Hilly is run by the Hainault RC (not Essex Roads CC), organiser Graham Mann has sent an e-mail to all riders stating that he will drive the course and send out a further e-mail to confirm whether the event is to be run or not, Saturday pm latest. If you are a confirmed rider you should have received the email but I don’t see your name on the rider list. Cheers, Matt
Simon Haigh
Hi David,
My son is keen to have a go at the next winter series on the 18th. Is there an entry form on the club site or is it as easy to do an on the day entry? We will be coming from Oxford so would appreciate knowing before hand!
Many thanks
Simon
Thanks for your email, we are unfortunately going to have to cancel and postpone to next Sunday 25th March. I’ve just been speaking to the team and not sure how the weather is where you are but the snow is settling on the roads now over in this part of Essex and it’s got to continue throughout the night so the situation is sadly not going to improve!
At least on the plus side you can have a lie in now 🙂
Hope to see you Sunday 25th March.
Philip Au
Hello
Just checking the date – is this on Sunday 25th March?
I have looked on Redbridge Cycling Centre website and this appears to be listed as Sunday April 8th
Hello Philip, yes the date is this Sunday 25th March. I’ll contact Redbridge to amend and to avoid any confusion.
Many thanks
Best Regards
Dave
Mr D Harvey
Thank you for a really great go ride series all the members of Barking and Dagenham CC loved it and are really looking forward to the next series.

Robert Watson
Hello David.
My son took part in the go-ride today (Sunday 25th March), and at the end I inadvertantly took home the race number (67, FYI).
Should I post it back to you at the address on this web page? Or would it be better for me to send it to a different address?
Thank you,
Robert.
Hi Robert, no problem if you could please post back to me at 11 Trinder Way, Wickford, Essex. SS12 0HQ that would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi there,
I’m Stefan, organiser of the Windmill Audax Event (18-271,18-272) and you are my last hope. We usually use Victoria CC club hut for our mid-way stop. At very short notice I received notification yesterday, that they have water damage, so can’t use their hut. Lea Valley are not fit for purpose and I just got an email that the Shaftesbury hut is not open for outside hire.
So I would be very grateful, if we could use your hut as control stop for these rides.
Unfortunately, I could not find a direct contact number on your site, other than BC.
Due to the urgency, could you please reply asap, or call me on 07503 163469?
Thank you very much in anticipation.
Regards,
Stefan
Natalie
It is best top pre book so that you know a start time.
When you sign up on the night you just get the next available number which could mean that that you go off late.
To prebook send an email to lgordontt@sky.com or tt@essexroads.com.
Len
Stuart Payne
Hi .Is the E22/24 TT rescheduled for 2nd sept still open for entry.

Bradley Wiggins (Sir)
This Sunday November 11th, High Street closed in morning.
I really hope you can help me? My Son who is 14 year old and is relly keen to start a cycling club (especially a club where he can use he’s road bike?) I called Thurrock cycling club yesterday and a really nice gentaman said he needs to join a club which offers Go ride coaching because my son is under 16?
so he gave me your club web site/email
Is it possible to talk to sameone please ? to see if i can get him into the club or to put he’s name down as he is driving me mad? I would also like to ask a few questions if possible?
Hi Stacey, Thanks for your email i can see Matt has already replied to you, i hope this was helpful and please feel free to contact us for any additional information.
Best Regards
Dave
Dawn
Hi, my 14 year old daughter is interested for 20th January race. Please could you tell me the distance of the race.
Thank you
Hi Dawn, Thanks for your email, there are two races, the first race is bunch start and the 2nd is a handicap race. Both races are 3 x laps, which are approx 1.15km per lap so they are fairly short in distance.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards
Dave
Andy
Hi David, i’ve just entered my son in Sundays U12’s race. How many laps\distance is it? Thanks Andy
Hello Andy, great news we look forward to seeing you both on Sunday. There are two U12 races, 1st is a bunch start and the 2nd is a handicap race where riders are set off at timed intervals with the rider finishing first in the first race starting last in the handicap race. Laps are 1.12km long on the lower circuit and there are 2 x laps per race so not too far for young legs!
Hope this helps and see you Sunday.
Best Regards
Dave
Dawn
Hi,
My daughter Anna did the Redbridge cycling race last week.
She is keen to come along for the training.
Please conform if it’s still on and if so where is the meeting point in the park
Thank you
Dawn
Hi Dawn,
Thanks for your email and yes training is still on tomorrow starting at 10am. We meet at Hadleigh MTB park and the meeting point is down on the main start / finish area next to the podium meeting at 10am.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards
Dave
Dawn
Hi Dave
Thanks for email.
Bit of a silly question just checking it is on road bike
Dawn
These sessions are off road, so a mountain bike or cyclocross bike will be required. We are in the process of obtaining a road circuit for road sessions, bit this is still in working progress at the moment.
I hope this helps.

Sue Rogers (nee Fenwick)
Bill was a stalwart of timetrialling from the late 1940s to end of the century. He was a specialist long distance man, riding several 24 hour time trials. He was part of the team that held National Competition Record for 25 miles in 1947. Always passionate about the sport, he soon took to organising behind the scenes. He served on the RTTC (forerunner of Cycling Time Trials) committee at national level, he served on ECCA, on the now-defunct Essex Cycle Racing Associaton, and on London East District Council, as well as club committee positions, and he promoted time trials too. He timekept, he measured courses. He provided support and encouragement to riders. When I was riding for Essex Roads CC in the 1980s, I couldn’t afford racing wheels and he lent me a beautiful light pair of 28 spoke sprint wheels with Clement Number 3 silk tubulars (the equivalent of riding on top end discs and tubs today) which I used in national championships and Best All Rounder timetrials. He was a total gentleman, very kind, very genuine, with quick wit, dry humour and always wanted to see just, fair play in the sport. RIP Bill.
Hi Sue, that’s a lovely message with so much detail about his passion and contribution to our great sport and the many, many riders including yourself who he encouraged and supported along the way on their cycling journey, thank you. I didn’t know him personally, however he was clearly a key figure in the sport, not just for ERCC but also for the time trialling scene locally and nationally, i’m sure he will be missed by many who new him. RIP Bill from all at ERCC and also from the cycling community far and wide.
Dave B.

Thanks Dean, we really appreciate the feedback and it’s always our pleasure to run these evens for the youth riders across the region, there are some future professional riders in there i’m sure and thanks to the Barking & Dagenham CC for another excellent turnout with excellent results across all the categories. We look forward to seeing you all again at round 3.

Agreed – what a great day of racing, and brilliantly organised. I wish we’d discovered them a little earlier in the winter. We’ll keep an eye out for a summer series!
Thanks a lot to Essex Roads

Dylan Magnay
Hi,
I live in Southend but work in Chelmsford and on driving home one night I saw one of your TT taking place.
I am a cyclist looking to get back into some sort of training and it looks ideal.
Do you take entrants on the day? Do you require the annual membership? I’d love to hear more so I can consider this and hopefully make it part of the healthier lifestyle I’d like to get back.
Dylan
We do take entries on the day but if you are not a member of a cycling club then you can only enter twice per year. This is one of the rules of the national governing body for Cycling Time Trials.
Dates, location and times are on the club’s calendar
Dylan
Hi Len,
Thanks for coming back so quickly. Would the same apply to British Triathlon Members also? What are the entry fees for entrants on the day?
Many thanks,
Dylan
Barry Gray
Hi,
I would like to enter the TT this coming Wednesday (1st)
Hello Dylan, only just noticed your follow-up question. British Triathlon is not a CTT affiliated club although some triathlon clubs are, see here https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/find-clubs.
I believe the non-member entry fee for our club time trials is £4.50
Look forward to seeing you at TT HQ
The entry fee for a non Essex Roads member is £5. If you are not a member of a club affiliated to Cycling Time Trials then you are only allowed to enter 2 time trials per year.
Barry gray
Thank you Len,
I’ve only just seen this reply! Is it too late for me and a friend to enter still for tomorrow?
Barry
The cuttoff for pre-entry is me receiving an email before 10pm on the Monday before the TT.
Other option is to sign-up on the day and take the next available slot.
Barry gray
Ah that’s a shame! We will both show up tomorrow and grab the next available slot,
Cheers mate
Oliver homewood
Im new to road cycling and would like to join a club or group to cycle destress and also get fit
Michael you can come and sign on to the TT this evening. Only requirement if you want to ride more than 2 TT’s in a calendar year is that you have to be a member of a club affiliated to Cycling Time Trials.
Maxine Allen
Len just checking there is a time trial tonight as we have a set of rollers to return to you.
Tonights TT is cancelled due to weather conditions. There will be a coffee/tea brewing in the hall for anyone who does turn up.
Jo Evans
Hi my grandson, Bobby, is 11 and has asked about joining a Cycling Club. He has spent many hours over Hadleigh Bike Park and does 10 mile bike rides.
He actually lives near Fords Dunton.
Can you give me any info on Junior activities please?
Jo
The sessions at Dunton are open to kids of all ages as long as they are riding without stabilisers.
Where possible we try to split the kids up into 2 groups based on age as it hard for the younger ones to be able to do the same thing as the older kids.
Trevor Moody
Hey Guys, are you running a youth winter series this year, 2020?
I hope you are well and apologies for the delay replying. The series is running again, please see details below and entry is in advance only via BC for this series. Hope to see you there.
Best Regards
Dave
We are again running our Under 16’s Winter Racing Series at Redbridge Closed Road Circuit on the lower circuit. Events will be held on 19th January, 23rd February, 29th March and 19th April 2020
This series is designed to be an entry level event for riders who have little or no experience of racing (and for their parents who have never prepared a young rider for an event before!) We do not carry out gear checks, and although there will be riders wearing ‘proper kit’ and riding road bikes, you do not need any special gear -all you need is for your bike to be in good working condition and safe to ride, and to wear appropriate clothing and a helmet which is also safe. We encourage you to ‘have a go’ and award separate certificates for those riding non-road bikes as we appreciate you have to work a lot harder to get round the track than those who have sleek road machines!
Signing on is from 12.15pm, racing starts prompt at 1.15pm, finishing at about 3pm, with presentations back up at HQ afterwards.
Boys and girls will race together in their age categories (U8, U10, U12, U14, U16) but there will be separate awards. If there are sufficient numbers, there may be separate girls’ / boys’ races.
All riders will be eligible for the series Points Competition (best three results to count).
Pre-entries need to be with me by the Thursday before the race. Entries in ADVANCE ONLY via BC website:
Hi Dave,
I’d like to sign my son up for the whole series but can’t see how to do this using the BC online entry. It only shows the 1st event in January.
Could you point me in the right direct please.
Hi Sally, If you click the BC link for January entry and pay the £20 this will automatically give you entry to all 4 x races. Hope this helps and let me know if you need any further info.
Best Wishes
Dave
Sally Burrows
Thanks Dave.
All done 👍
Gerard O'Connell
Hi Dave,
I’m planning to take a keen 15yo boy for the series. Dipping his toe into racing, he is curious what the day holds – is lower circuit 1km long? how many laps? how many riders do we expect in the U16 race and what kind of pace – a rough approx would be helpful.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 19th,
Cheers
Gerard
Thanks for your message. Yes the lower circuit is 1km long although the U16 race uses part of the hill (approx 1/2 way up to a cut through). The race is usually around 4-5 laps and we have around 10 – 20 riders in this group. Pace is 20+ mph average.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards
Dave
Gerard O'Connell
Many thanks Dave, very helpful. See you on Sunday.
Gerard
Hi Dave,
We too are dipping our toes into circuit racing – I’ve entered my 14yo daughter for Sundays race, and thanks for your helpful comments about what to expect. My daughter is riding an adult bike, do you have any requirements about minimum or maximum gearing?
Hi Martin, that’s great we look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Regarding the gearing there are no rules on minimum / maximum gearing, the go racing is all about having a go and seeing what it’s all about. The bikes and riders clothing / helmet do have safety check at the rider briefing down on the track.
Hope this helps and see you Sunday.
Best Wishes
Dave
Martin Hind
Thanks Dave, looking forward to having a go on Sunday!
Martin Hind
Hi Dave
Looking forward to coming along tomorrow with our 14yo daughter – we’ve just persuaded our 12yo daughter to also give it a try. The online entry on BC website is now closed, are there are any other entry arrangements for the event?
Best wishes
Martin
My apologies for the delay replying, i’ve had my eldest sons 18th birthday today and i’ve been unable to reply to any messages.
Thanks for the email, yes of course feel free to come along and register on the day for your 12 year old daughter as you have your 14 year old already entered. Please can you get to the signing on desk for 12.15 so that we can get the entry all organised for you in good time before the racing gets under way?
Many thanks
Kind Regards
Dave
Howard Lloyd
Hi Dave,
I know it’s REALLY late, but is there any chance of entering for the event tomorrow? My 8 yo son is mad keen…

Hello, thanks for another excellent event. We have come home with one of you race numbers, which I assume are reusable and you would want back? We are likely to be coming along to at least one of the other events in the series, or I can post it down to you.
Thanks, Martin Lewis
Hello Martin, Thank you for the great feedback and glad you had a great day. If you are coming along to the next round then bring the race number along with you on the day, if not could you please post to me at my work address.

Thanks for the feedback as always it’s very much appreciated and a good day for the Barking & Dagenham CC team, glad they had a great day and look forward to seeing everyone again soon. Hope all’s well with you and the family too.

Emma Taylor
Hello
My 15 year old is keen to try this race. He needs some video footage of a cycling race for his gcse pe . We’ve had a lot of difficulty getting permission for this in other races. Would he be allowed video footage in this race ?
Thanks Emma
Hello Emma,
Thanks for your email, however i’m afraid on board video recording of race footage is currently banned by British Cycling.
Many thanks
Kind Regards
Dave
Robert Ayers
Great event today. I’m afraid we forgot to hand back the number. 112
Let me have a postal address and I’ll get it back to you.
Thanks Robert, appreciate the feedback. If you are coming to the next round on 29th March, keep the number and bring it with you then, if not let me know and i’ll p.m you my address.
Cheers

I just wanted to say thanks for a great event today, it was well worth the trek from East Kent. Really friendly atmosphere and (apparently) a great course! We’ll definitely be back again for the next race all being well.
Thanks David, that’s great news you all had a great day and many thanks for the feedback. You may not be aware but your daughter won a certificate for 1st place girl in her category and your son joint 3rd place in his category. I’ll keep them until i see you at the next event and can hand them out to the kids then, well done to them both, awesome stuff.
Best Wishes

Howard Lloyd
Hi Dave,
It was my son’s first go at racing today, and he absolutely loved it!
Will the full results be available on the ERCC website at some point?
Many thanks to all involved—I’m sure it takes a lot of work. Very much appreciated.
Awesome, we are so pleased he loved the racing today and thanks for your kind feedback i will pass this on to all of the team.
Yes full results will be on our website tomorrow.
Hope to see you at the next round.
Best Wishes

Many thanks everyone associated with Essex Roads cc.
The members from B&Dcc love these go ride days and they really help the youngsters enjoy there cycling
Thanks Dean, we love running this series, it’s always very well attended by B&Dcc and the other clubs in and out of the region, it’s great to see so many youngsters riding and racing their bikes and racing them fast too, they are super quick, and i’m sure some of them will become future professional riders in the future 🙂
All the best and see you soon.

Hello,
I was a member of Comrades in 1969… and remember Mike Wiseman, Brian Hayes, Tony Hanlon, and Phil Abbot.. would like to meet up with them to talk about old times
Jon Youell
Hi Ken, I was a Comrade mid 70’s to 80’s, Brian Hayes was my mentor and close buddy back then. I saw Brian about 7 years ago at “The Bungalow” I reckon your best bet is to visit the hut in Ugley as I think Brian goes there quite regularly. I may even pay a visit myself! 😂
Good luck!
Also, take a look at Facebook, there are loads of 70/80’s groups on there that could put you in contact.
Clara McVeigh
Hi, I have just received an email to say my son’s entry application for the U10s go ride race on 19th April has been denied but with no explanation. Is it because the race is not now going ahead (understandably) or something else? Please advise. Many thanks.
Hi Clara, Yes sorry about this, British Cycling have cancelled all events until the end of April due to the Coronavirius which effects both of our events for the this series. Naturally we are hoping to have some new dates to run the 2 x events, however we can’t book anything currently until things get back to some sort of normality.
Best Regards
Dave

Hi, I have just received an email to say my son’s entry application for the U10s go ride race on 19th April has been denied but with no explanation. Is it because the race is not now going ahead (understandably) or something else? Please advise. Many thanks.
British Cycling have decided to cancel all of their events up to the end of April because of Covid 19. Think you may have got an automated response from BC after this decision was made.
Clara
Ok, thank you for getting back to me. Fingers crossed we will be back to some normality soon!
Yes fingers crossed Clara, take care and hope to see you when the racing commences in the future.
Kind Regards

Kim
Hi my name is Kim Jordan, I have just moved to Brentwood, my hobbie is cycling which I very much enjoy.
I am very interested in becoming a member of the Brentwood Cycling Club, I know at the moment due to Covid-19 socially that is not possible, however I would very much like to become a member, and meet new people and make new friends for the forthcoming future.
I would be most grateful for your help.
Kindest regards

Hi,, I hope everyone is well.
Is this training session going ahead on Saturday 4th July?
Thanks,

Antoine Rouyer-Brown
Hello Sally,
There has been a recent post saying that all coaching events and races have been cancelled so going off that i would say that it will not be going ahead unless someone says otherwise.
Currently access to Ford Dunton is restricted because of Covid 19. I will try and find out when this will end and when BC will allow the club to coach a group larger than 6 people
Paul Bertram
Hi.
Does this also mean if a new membership is purchased it will last until summer 2022?
Brian they are the right emails to use I will message Mark to see if he has received the emails

The time trials are open for entry to anyone but there are restrictions. If you are not a member of a Cycling Time Trials registered club then you can only enter 2 TT’s per year.

Jon Pickup
My memory of Graham is of him taking the turbo training sessions at the scout hut on Greens Farm Lane (well before the invention of Zwift). The structure to my training he gave me was amazing and I remember him walking amongst us looking at our stats and being really interested with our progress. The proceeding season was the best I have ever had and I thank him for that. Rest in peace Graham.

Dear Len, I have found your address on the internet. I want to contact Wendy Spanton, as I have found who I think was Dick’s brother and his father on my Ancestry tree. I do not know if Wendy is still alive(although I have her Grays address). Can you tell me if I can write to her direct,or address it to her family and where. Thanks a lot,
Lorna Hanlon in Spain. two.hanlons@yahoo.co.uk
As there were traffic lights on the course I could not run the event today. I receive approval form London East late yesterday to treat this as a postponement instead of a cancellation. New date will now be 22nd August.
Andrew Shaw
Hi Len I think you’re times are wrong by at least 1 min. My Garmin shows 35.29 but results show 36:39. I am never more than 2 secs different to the results.
Andrew
Mistyped the time when I did the results.
New version now uploaded.

Good morning, I’m just enquiring about your event on the 1st September, do you have to be a member to take part in this, or is it open to all? I have this morning enquired about membership with the club. What age category/experience do you need ? I have a 15 year old daughter, who is quite keen to cycle but hasn’t much experience! Many thanks
Hi Carlos. Yes, this is something we are looking to update. Feel free to email over anything you feel should be included.
Colin
I have just changed the club’s event details to allow pre-entry by the website.
Can you try this link http://www.essexroads.com/events/boxing-day-tt/ and see if you can make a booking.
Thanks
Len
Hello
My son is looking for Go-ride road race to try, and I found your event on 12th March on the British Cycling website. His 10th birthday is on 8th March. He has a little experience as a member of the Ely+District CC and has enjoyed doing the Muddy Monsters events this winter.
Can I sign him up for this event? Is there an on-line form? Does he still race with the under-10’s?
Thanks,
Martin
Hello, I want to ask a couple of questions about the Spring Lambs Sportive. I have emailed secretary@essexsportive.com which is shown at the bottom of http://www.essexsportive.com/ but the email was bounced back to me, email address unknown. Can you send me an email address so I can send some questions please?
Thanks
Chris
Hi Chris,
Sorry about that, we will have to look at why that happened.
In the meantime you can email secretary@essexroads.com.
Best Regards
Matt
Thanks Matt, I have just sent an email.
Chris
Hi
I’ve signed up for the 100k via Sientries yesterday (Dave Ammon) and i’ve had nothing in my email from them to confirm, pretty sure it all worked but would appreciate someone confirming i am booked on.
Also can you tell me where i can get a tcx/gpx of the route please?
Thanks
Dave
What’s the vertical ascent on Sunday for the long route?
Dave – GARMIN files for download here: http://essexsportive.weebly.com/route-map1.html
No email verification but if you log on to sientries.co.uk the event is under ‘my entries”
What were the gold / silver / bronze guide times? I thought I saw gold at 5’45” and fruitlessly chased that (and shot myself in the foot stopping to assist a puncture afflicted rider in the home stretch…).
Excellent ride as ever, splendid weather if a fair bit breezier than forecast indicated!! First time I didn’t stop to take advantage of the excellent feed stations as I’d taken enough on the bike to get me around without dead time in transition!
Shame the route overlapped with a road running event, but can’t have everything and it was splendid as ever.
Hi
Is it ok to turn up on the night or do I need to register in advance for your TT I’m not from your area but I will be working in Basildon on the 10th
Philip
It is ok to turn up on the night as a guest but there is a maximum number of riders that are allowed to take part so if I have already reached the maximum I am not allowed to let any more people ride.
Thanks Len
I will pop along then and see.
Do you need a TT bike for this or can you do it on a road bike?
Tom
The TT can be done on either a road or TT bike.
Normally best to do a few TT’s on your road bike first before spending any hard earned cash on a TT bike.
Can I just come along in the morning and join a ride?
Hi. Yes new joiners are welcome and there are new people coming along all the time. Anyone will be able to direct you to the most appropriate group. We suggest joining a couple of rides before making a decision on joining.
Havent participated in a TT before Is it possible to participate?
Im a member of welwyn a (CTT club)
if so where can I find the details of the course and the event?
Dan Johnson
Dan
Think it is a bit late to reply now as you turned up last week. Been busy with other cycling related stuff so not be logging onto the club’s website to reply to comments.
Hi do you have to be a member of Essex Roads to do the TT.
Thanks
Kelvin
A member of any cycling club is always welcome to code and ride the TT. There is no restriction to the number of times they do this. The only thing we would ask it hey do more than 4 is to offer to help out by volunteering to marshal at one of the TT’s.
People who do not belong to a cycle club are only allowed to ride 2 club TT’s per year. This is a CTT rule. It is not just 2 TT’s per club but 2 TT’s per calendar
Hello.
Do you or would you accept private riders. I was trying to sort a ride out for a junior in the club (Maldon)
His name is Harry Wood .
Kind regards
Neil Chapman

Hi Neil, yes he is more than welcome to come and ride at our events. All he needs to do is contact len at len@essexroads.com. He will also need to sign the relevant CTT forms and have parental consent to be able to ride.
Hi there,
Is it possible for any child to turn up on the day or do you have to be a member to join in on the racing?
Is this for mountain bikes or road bikes?
Hi
Can I join fir tomorrow level 1 cycle ride please
Hi ya, I have just bought a bike and would like to start ride ing with the bike club, do I just come along tomorrow morning and join then?
Hi Trish. Yes just come along. It’s best to come on a couple of rides and then you can decide if you would like to join. Steve Bristow is the club ride secretary who should be there else anyone in an Essex Roads top will be more than happy to direct you to the most appropriate group to start with. Thanks!
Hi Matt
Yes I would like to join you tomorrow morning started to ride 3 weeks ago.
Great! Steve Bristow is the the club ride secretary and should be there else anyone in an Essex Roads top will be more than happy to direct you to the most appropriate group.
Hi. I wanted to post a big thank you to the guys who stopped to look after me today when I came off my bike just outside of Roxwell where the road resurfacing is quite dangerous. I think Steve was the name of the Essex Roads member ( sorry if I got that wrong. ) no major damage done, just some grazes and bruises, wonky handle bars and a little pride bruise.
Thank you all again. Much appreciated.
Hi,
I’m thinking about joining and wanted to try out a ride tomorrow, but can only make it to the early bird ride. Is it ok to just come along?
Thanks,
Danny
Hi Danny. Yes it’s fine just to turn up. Anyone in Essex Roads kit will be happy to direct you.
Good Evening,
Due to a very successful result at the Finsbury Park RR, I have now achieved my 1st Cat status for the 2018 season and would like to have some time off the bike for a while.
So it is with regret that I won’t be attending the race this weekend, I totally understand this is late notice and obviously a refund is out of the question but at least it might allow for a reserve to participate.
All the best,
Sam Woodfield
Hi there, are you accepting EOL for Sunday’s race?
Hi Toby,
If you contact Len via Len@essexroads.com, he will be able to advise if spaces are likely on Sunday.
How about North Weald base 300mmetres up side(?) lane with field and toilets available, all subject to our local permissions, could this work for you in Assoc with other club not cyclists who need funding assistance?
Hi was with the social group today lost everyone else after North Hill, stayed with jane as she was lost. Made sure she got back ok before I left to get home. See you again soon Mark Toublic.
Hello, could you let me have details of where to send the payments to please. I want to enter my daughter into the full series.
Many thanks
Rob Wilson

Hi, hopefully this is useful… http://www.essexroads.com/how-to-obtain-your-british-cycling-membership-number/
Thanks Matt, but maybe I’m a little confused. I thought I needed an ERCC membership number to get the discounted entry fee for Spring Lambs?
Hi William,
You can use your British Cycling membership number
Hope this helps
Jo

Does the cancellation include the Hainault Hilly?
Someone left a comment on Jo’s post asking if the Hainault Hilly was running. I added the following reply…..
The Hainault Hilly is run by the Hainault RC (not Essex Roads CC), organiser Graham Mann has sent an e-mail to all riders stating that he will drive the course and send out a further e-mail to confirm whether the event is to be run or not, Saturday pm latest. If you are a confirmed rider you should have received the email but I don’t see your name on the rider list. Cheers, Matt
Hi David,
My son is keen to have a go at the next winter series on the 18th. Is there an entry form on the club site or is it as easy to do an on the day entry? We will be coming from Oxford so would appreciate knowing before hand!
Many thanks
Simon
Fingers crossed the weather keeps away so we can race Simon. Hope to see you Sunday
Best Regards
Dave
Hi Dave – at the moment are you still planning running the event tomorrow?
Cheers,
Steve
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your email, we are unfortunately going to have to cancel and postpone to next Sunday 25th March. I’ve just been speaking to the team and not sure how the weather is where you are but the snow is settling on the roads now over in this part of Essex and it’s got to continue throughout the night so the situation is sadly not going to improve!
At least on the plus side you can have a lie in now 🙂
Hope to see you Sunday 25th March.
Hello
Just checking the date – is this on Sunday 25th March?
I have looked on Redbridge Cycling Centre website and this appears to be listed as Sunday April 8th
Hello Philip, yes the date is this Sunday 25th March. I’ll contact Redbridge to amend and to avoid any confusion.
Many thanks
Best Regards
Dave
Thank you for a really great go ride series all the members of Barking and Dagenham CC loved it and are really looking forward to the next series.

Best Regards
Dave
Hello David.
My son took part in the go-ride today (Sunday 25th March), and at the end I inadvertantly took home the race number (67, FYI).
Should I post it back to you at the address on this web page? Or would it be better for me to send it to a different address?
Thank you,
Robert.
Hi Robert, no problem if you could please post back to me at 11 Trinder Way, Wickford, Essex. SS12 0HQ that would be much appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi there,
I’m Stefan, organiser of the Windmill Audax Event (18-271,18-272) and you are my last hope. We usually use Victoria CC club hut for our mid-way stop. At very short notice I received notification yesterday, that they have water damage, so can’t use their hut. Lea Valley are not fit for purpose and I just got an email that the Shaftesbury hut is not open for outside hire.
So I would be very grateful, if we could use your hut as control stop for these rides.
Unfortunately, I could not find a direct contact number on your site, other than BC.
Due to the urgency, could you please reply asap, or call me on 07503 163469?
Thank you very much in anticipation.
Regards,
Stefan
Stefan
I have emailed you about this as we might be able to help.
Dear sir

I was told it is at west Hanningfield please confirm
Paul
The TT you entered was on the East Hanningfield circuit.
Hi Len
Thank you for your reply.
Yes I would like to enter again tomorrow night East Hanningfield
Kind regards
Paul
Hi,
Is there going to be a summer series?
Thanks
Trevor
There were issue with booking Hogg Hill on dates when we would have club members available to assist Dave.
This meant that we are not able to run a summer series at Hogg Hill.
Len
Hi
I would like to have a go at the tt on Wednesday, do I need to pre book and be a Enver or just turn up?
Natalie
It is best top pre book so that you know a start time.
When you sign up on the night you just get the next available number which could mean that that you go off late.
To prebook send an email to lgordontt@sky.com or tt@essexroads.com.
Len

Hi, my 14 year old daughter is interested for 20th January race. Please could you tell me the distance of the race.
Thank you
Hi Dawn, Thanks for your email, there are two races, the first race is bunch start and the 2nd is a handicap race. Both races are 3 x laps, which are approx 1.15km per lap so they are fairly short in distance.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards
Dave
Hi David, i’ve just entered my son in Sundays U12’s race. How many laps\distance is it? Thanks Andy
Hello Andy, great news we look forward to seeing you both on Sunday. There are two U12 races, 1st is a bunch start and the 2nd is a handicap race where riders are set off at timed intervals with the rider finishing first in the first race starting last in the handicap race. Laps are 1.12km long on the lower circuit and there are 2 x laps per race so not too far for young legs!
Hope this helps and see you Sunday.
Best Regards
Dave
Hi,
My daughter Anna did the Redbridge cycling race last week.
She is keen to come along for the training.
Please conform if it’s still on and if so where is the meeting point in the park
Thank you
Dawn
Hi Dawn,
Thanks for your email and yes training is still on tomorrow starting at 10am. We meet at Hadleigh MTB park and the meeting point is down on the main start / finish area next to the podium meeting at 10am.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards
Dave
Hi Dave
Thanks for email.
Bit of a silly question just checking it is on road bike
Dawn
Hi Dawn,
These sessions are off road, so a mountain bike or cyclocross bike will be required. We are in the process of obtaining a road circuit for road sessions, bit this is still in working progress at the moment.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards
Dave
Hi Dave
Thanks for email, going to give it a miss, thought it was on the road
Dawn
Hi Dawn,
No worries.
kind Regards
Dave
RIP Bill Thorncroft
Thank you for your message Keith, may he RIP.
Best Wishes
Dave B.
Bill was a stalwart of timetrialling from the late 1940s to end of the century. He was a specialist long distance man, riding several 24 hour time trials. He was part of the team that held National Competition Record for 25 miles in 1947. Always passionate about the sport, he soon took to organising behind the scenes. He served on the RTTC (forerunner of Cycling Time Trials) committee at national level, he served on ECCA, on the now-defunct Essex Cycle Racing Associaton, and on London East District Council, as well as club committee positions, and he promoted time trials too. He timekept, he measured courses. He provided support and encouragement to riders. When I was riding for Essex Roads CC in the 1980s, I couldn’t afford racing wheels and he lent me a beautiful light pair of 28 spoke sprint wheels with Clement Number 3 silk tubulars (the equivalent of riding on top end discs and tubs today) which I used in national championships and Best All Rounder timetrials. He was a total gentleman, very kind, very genuine, with quick wit, dry humour and always wanted to see just, fair play in the sport. RIP Bill.
Hi Sue, that’s a lovely message with so much detail about his passion and contribution to our great sport and the many, many riders including yourself who he encouraged and supported along the way on their cycling journey, thank you. I didn’t know him personally, however he was clearly a key figure in the sport, not just for ERCC but also for the time trialling scene locally and nationally, i’m sure he will be missed by many who new him. RIP Bill from all at ERCC and also from the cycling community far and wide.

Thanks a lot to Essex Roads

Hi,
I live in Southend but work in Chelmsford and on driving home one night I saw one of your TT taking place.
I am a cyclist looking to get back into some sort of training and it looks ideal.
Do you take entrants on the day? Do you require the annual membership? I’d love to hear more so I can consider this and hopefully make it part of the healthier lifestyle I’d like to get back.
Many thanks,
Dylan
Dylan
We do take entries on the day but if you are not a member of a cycling club then you can only enter twice per year. This is one of the rules of the national governing body for Cycling Time Trials.
Dates, location and times are on the club’s calendar
Hi Len,
Thanks for coming back so quickly. Would the same apply to British Triathlon Members also? What are the entry fees for entrants on the day?
Many thanks,
Dylan
Hi,
I would like to enter the TT this coming Wednesday (1st)
How can I reserve a space?
Thanks
You just need to send an email to tt@essexroads.com. Will need your name and name and telephone number of emergency contact.
Hello Dylan, only just noticed your follow-up question. British Triathlon is not a CTT affiliated club although some triathlon clubs are, see here https://www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/find-clubs.
I believe the non-member entry fee for our club time trials is £4.50
Look forward to seeing you at TT HQ
Dylan
The entry fee for a non Essex Roads member is £5. If you are not a member of a club affiliated to Cycling Time Trials then you are only allowed to enter 2 time trials per year.
Thank you Len,
I’ve only just seen this reply! Is it too late for me and a friend to enter still for tomorrow?
Thanks
Barry
Barry
The cuttoff for pre-entry is me receiving an email before 10pm on the Monday before the TT.
Other option is to sign-up on the day and take the next available slot.
Ah that’s a shame! We will both show up tomorrow and grab the next available slot,
Cheers mate
Im new to road cycling and would like to join a club or group to cycle destress and also get fit
Oliver if you email membership@essexroads.com you will be able to get more information about joining the club.
Stellar ride by Colin on that course! Chapeau
Do we just turn up?
Paula
You can just turn up and ride but you may want to check with Steve, email cubrides@essexroads.com, first.
Yes, Paula please just come along we are a friendly bunch. Arrive about 8:45 and introduce yourself to a ride leader in ERCC kit – see u soon Steve.
Can i come along to 24th july TT, only membership is with British Cycling, guessing you will be busy
Michael you can come and sign on to the TT this evening. Only requirement if you want to ride more than 2 TT’s in a calendar year is that you have to be a member of a club affiliated to Cycling Time Trials.
Len just checking there is a time trial tonight as we have a set of rollers to return to you.
Sorry, just seen this! It was an Open event. Normal TT’s resume next week and run until end August
Tonights TT is cancelled due to weather conditions. There will be a coffee/tea brewing in the hall for anyone who does turn up.
Hi my grandson, Bobby, is 11 and has asked about joining a Cycling Club. He has spent many hours over Hadleigh Bike Park and does 10 mile bike rides.
He actually lives near Fords Dunton.
Can you give me any info on Junior activities please?
Jo
The sessions at Dunton are open to kids of all ages as long as they are riding without stabilisers.
Where possible we try to split the kids up into 2 groups based on age as it hard for the younger ones to be able to do the same thing as the older kids.
Hey Guys, are you running a youth winter series this year, 2020?
Thanks
Hello Trevor,
I hope you are well and apologies for the delay replying. The series is running again, please see details below and entry is in advance only via BC for this series. Hope to see you there.
Best Regards
Dave
We are again running our Under 16’s Winter Racing Series at Redbridge Closed Road Circuit on the lower circuit. Events will be held on 19th January, 23rd February, 29th March and 19th April 2020
This series is designed to be an entry level event for riders who have little or no experience of racing (and for their parents who have never prepared a young rider for an event before!) We do not carry out gear checks, and although there will be riders wearing ‘proper kit’ and riding road bikes, you do not need any special gear -all you need is for your bike to be in good working condition and safe to ride, and to wear appropriate clothing and a helmet which is also safe. We encourage you to ‘have a go’ and award separate certificates for those riding non-road bikes as we appreciate you have to work a lot harder to get round the track than those who have sleek road machines!
Signing on is from 12.15pm, racing starts prompt at 1.15pm, finishing at about 3pm, with presentations back up at HQ afterwards.
Boys and girls will race together in their age categories (U8, U10, U12, U14, U16) but there will be separate awards. If there are sufficient numbers, there may be separate girls’ / boys’ races.
All riders will be eligible for the series Points Competition (best three results to count).
Pre-entries need to be with me by the Thursday before the race. Entries in ADVANCE ONLY via BC website:
https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/219037/Essex-Roads-CC-Go-Ride-Winter-Series-2020-Round-1
Fees;
ERCC Members Full Series Pre-entry; £12.00
Non-Members Full Series Pre-entry; £20.00
ERCC Members Single Race Pre-entry; £4.00
Non-Members Single Race Pre-entry; £6.00
Hi Dave,
I’d like to sign my son up for the whole series but can’t see how to do this using the BC online entry. It only shows the 1st event in January.
Could you point me in the right direct please.
Hi Sally, If you click the BC link for January entry and pay the £20 this will automatically give you entry to all 4 x races. Hope this helps and let me know if you need any further info.
Best Wishes
Dave
Thanks Dave.
All done 👍
Hi Dave,
I’m planning to take a keen 15yo boy for the series. Dipping his toe into racing, he is curious what the day holds – is lower circuit 1km long? how many laps? how many riders do we expect in the U16 race and what kind of pace – a rough approx would be helpful.
Looking forward to seeing you on the 19th,
Cheers
Gerard
Hi Gerard,
Thanks for your message. Yes the lower circuit is 1km long although the U16 race uses part of the hill (approx 1/2 way up to a cut through). The race is usually around 4-5 laps and we have around 10 – 20 riders in this group. Pace is 20+ mph average.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards
Dave
Many thanks Dave, very helpful. See you on Sunday.
Gerard
See you Sunday Gerard.
Best Wishes
Dave
Hi Dave,
We too are dipping our toes into circuit racing – I’ve entered my 14yo daughter for Sundays race, and thanks for your helpful comments about what to expect. My daughter is riding an adult bike, do you have any requirements about minimum or maximum gearing?
Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday.
Kind regards
Martin
Hi Martin, that’s great we look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Regarding the gearing there are no rules on minimum / maximum gearing, the go racing is all about having a go and seeing what it’s all about. The bikes and riders clothing / helmet do have safety check at the rider briefing down on the track.
Hope this helps and see you Sunday.
Best Wishes
Dave
Thanks Dave, looking forward to having a go on Sunday!
Hi Dave
Looking forward to coming along tomorrow with our 14yo daughter – we’ve just persuaded our 12yo daughter to also give it a try. The online entry on BC website is now closed, are there are any other entry arrangements for the event?
Best wishes
Martin
Hello Martin,
My apologies for the delay replying, i’ve had my eldest sons 18th birthday today and i’ve been unable to reply to any messages.
Thanks for the email, yes of course feel free to come along and register on the day for your 12 year old daughter as you have your 14 year old already entered. Please can you get to the signing on desk for 12.15 so that we can get the entry all organised for you in good time before the racing gets under way?
Many thanks
Kind Regards
Dave
Hi Dave,
I know it’s REALLY late, but is there any chance of entering for the event tomorrow? My 8 yo son is mad keen…
Hope you’re able to help.
Best wishes,
Howard

Hello
My 15 year old is keen to try this race. He needs some video footage of a cycling race for his gcse pe . We’ve had a lot of difficulty getting permission for this in other races. Would he be allowed video footage in this race ?
Thanks Emma
Hello Emma,
Thanks for your email, however i’m afraid on board video recording of race footage is currently banned by British Cycling.
Many thanks
Kind Regards
Dave
Great event today. I’m afraid we forgot to hand back the number. 112
Let me have a postal address and I’ll get it back to you.
Thanks Robert, appreciate the feedback. If you are coming to the next round on 29th March, keep the number and bring it with you then, if not let me know and i’ll p.m you my address.
Cheers
Dave
I just wanted to say thanks for a great event today, it was well worth the trek from East Kent. Really friendly atmosphere and (apparently) a great course! We’ll definitely be back again for the next race all being well.
Thanks again
The Tuletts
Thanks David, that’s great news you all had a great day and many thanks for the feedback. You may not be aware but your daughter won a certificate for 1st place girl in her category and your son joint 3rd place in his category. I’ll keep them until i see you at the next event and can hand them out to the kids then, well done to them both, awesome stuff.
Best Wishes
Dave
Hi Dave,
It was my son’s first go at racing today, and he absolutely loved it!
Will the full results be available on the ERCC website at some point?
Many thanks to all involved—I’m sure it takes a lot of work. Very much appreciated.
Hi Howard,
Awesome, we are so pleased he loved the racing today and thanks for your kind feedback i will pass this on to all of the team.
Yes full results will be on our website tomorrow.
Hope to see you at the next round.
Best Wishes
Dave
Many thanks everyone associated with Essex Roads cc.
The members from B&Dcc love these go ride days and they really help the youngsters enjoy there cycling
Thanks Dean, we love running this series, it’s always very well attended by B&Dcc and the other clubs in and out of the region, it’s great to see so many youngsters riding and racing their bikes and racing them fast too, they are super quick, and i’m sure some of them will become future professional riders in the future 🙂
All the best and see you soon.

Hello,
I was a member of Comrades in 1969… and remember Mike Wiseman, Brian Hayes, Tony Hanlon, and Phil Abbot.. would like to meet up with them to talk about old times
Hi Ken, I was a Comrade mid 70’s to 80’s, Brian Hayes was my mentor and close buddy back then. I saw Brian about 7 years ago at “The Bungalow” I reckon your best bet is to visit the hut in Ugley as I think Brian goes there quite regularly. I may even pay a visit myself! 😂
Good luck!
Also, take a look at Facebook, there are loads of 70/80’s groups on there that could put you in contact.
Hi, I have just received an email to say my son’s entry application for the U10s go ride race on 19th April has been denied but with no explanation. Is it because the race is not now going ahead (understandably) or something else? Please advise. Many thanks.
Hi Clara, Yes sorry about this, British Cycling have cancelled all events until the end of April due to the Coronavirius which effects both of our events for the this series. Naturally we are hoping to have some new dates to run the 2 x events, however we can’t book anything currently until things get back to some sort of normality.
Best Regards
Dave
Hi, I have just received an email to say my son’s entry application for the U10s go ride race on 19th April has been denied but with no explanation. Is it because the race is not now going ahead (understandably) or something else? Please advise. Many thanks.
British Cycling have decided to cancel all of their events up to the end of April because of Covid 19. Think you may have got an automated response from BC after this decision was made.
Ok, thank you for getting back to me. Fingers crossed we will be back to some normality soon!
Yes fingers crossed Clara, take care and hope to see you when the racing commences in the future.
Kind Regards
Dave
Hi my name is Kim Jordan, I have just moved to Brentwood, my hobbie is cycling which I very much enjoy.
I am very interested in becoming a member of the Brentwood Cycling Club, I know at the moment due to Covid-19 socially that is not possible, however I would very much like to become a member, and meet new people and make new friends for the forthcoming future.
I would be most grateful for your help.
Kindest regards
Kim
Hi,, I hope everyone is well.
Is this training session going ahead on Saturday 4th July?
Thanks,
Sally
Hello Sally,
There has been a recent post saying that all coaching events and races have been cancelled so going off that i would say that it will not be going ahead unless someone says otherwise.
Currently access to Ford Dunton is restricted because of Covid 19. I will try and find out when this will end and when BC will allow the club to coach a group larger than 6 people
Hi.
Does this also mean if a new membership is purchased it will last until summer 2022?
Thanks
Hi.

Hi Essex Roads. The results from Wednesday 21/04/21 may need revising as I DNF’d that night due to a broken wheel.
I reported it that evening in two separate places but the message may not have got back to the timekeepers.
Feel free to contact me on the email address below for further details & apologies for the inconvenience.
Are these time trials open to anyone? What distance are they? Thanks David Hellen.

My memory of Graham is of him taking the turbo training sessions at the scout hut on Greens Farm Lane (well before the invention of Zwift). The structure to my training he gave me was amazing and I remember him walking amongst us looking at our stats and being really interested with our progress. The proceeding season was the best I have ever had and I thank him for that. Rest in peace Graham.

Hi – the start sheet for TT12 23/6 hasn’t uploaded properly
Please can you accept an entry for your Evening TT on 7th July 21 although I am not an Essex Roads rider ?
Many thanks in advance

Has your open 25 on July 11 been cancelled?
As there were traffic lights on the course I could not run the event today. I receive approval form London East late yesterday to treat this as a postponement instead of a cancellation. New date will now be 22nd August.
Hi Len I think you’re times are wrong by at least 1 min. My Garmin shows 35.29 but results show 36:39. I am never more than 2 secs different to the results.
Andrew
Mistyped the time when I did the results.
New version now uploaded.

Good morning, I’m just enquiring about your event on the 1st September, do you have to be a member to take part in this, or is it open to all? I have this morning enquired about membership with the club. What age category/experience do you need ? I have a 15 year old daughter, who is quite keen to cycle but hasn’t much experience! Many thanks
