“Piece of Cake” – Trial # 2 World Record Smashed

16th July 1009 – The Cream of South London Sprint Cyclists gather for the Legendary Beckenham Running Club “Piece of Cake” 1.5 Mile Sprint Classic.

In perfect conditions Nolan recovered from persistant cycle clip fumbling (and no matter how many times you explain it Nolan, those clips don’t look particularly tricky to me) to shave 11 seconds off the previous world record, held by Disloyal Webmaster since, umm, 2009. In addition the “middle field” was nail-bitingly close.

    Handicap Latest Results

    Our Chairman writes…

    Dear All,
    Please see attached copy of June results, plus the updated table.  Sorry this is a bit late; have been away on our hols.  The mass start made a change, and perhaps the handicapped results will come as a surprise to some.  Some really impressive performances again though.  Since this race followed an “irregular” format, please check your result, and if you disagree, please let me know.  Thanks.

    Handicap June 09

    The July race is next Wednesday, and will be back to the normal start basis.  Nicky has agreed to do the timekeeping, but she’ll need some help please.  Anyone stepping up?
