Message for Eric

Eric,

You said you read the blog, so this seems to be almost the only way of communicating!

I have received all three of your messages over the last few weeks and replied to all three of them, the first two replies had an attachment, which I didn't bother with this last time in case that has a bearing on the problem. My email is sent from a Yahoo account, is your ISP blocking emails from such a source? Or have they been sent to a "junk" folder for you?

I am not aware of other emails not being received by other people that I correspond with, although if they don't know I've sent a message they wouldn't know it hadn't been received! Some of the messages I have sent recently have been replied to, so obviously they have been received.

If I manage to plonk the application form online somewhere in the near future, I'll link to it from this post, otherwise Pete will put a paper copy through your door on Thursday on his way somewhere.

Cheers,
Lisa

I guess that pretty much wraps up the trophy winners for 2009 - it's not 100% cut and dried till after the last event, but with only 10s, 25s and Hill Climbs remaining, there shouldn't be much change - if any!

P.S. errors and omissions expected - Frank, I think it's all online so you can check against your calculations...

VTTA 25

October 4th 2009 - H25/2, Marlow ski-slope course.

It's been a quiet year with only one or two riders in any given open event, and almost all the nominated "Open-as-club events" haven't qualified as club events this year as the minimum five riders have not entered.

So....

A sudden surge of late-season interest saw five Phoenix members entered in the VTTA 25 on the H25/2 this morning for a rather leisurely 8am start - not that a 6am wake-up call wasn't in order for some to get there. A pleasantly still and cool-to-warm autumn morning greeted the riders - none of the river mist that we get here sometimes - and the trip proved worthwhile for all five riders, with all doing season's bests and 3 pbing.

Stuart  57:21 pb   (was 1:0:32)
Ben   1:00:28 pb   (was 1:4:20)
Steve 1:05:40 pb   (was 1:6:06)
Jake  1:07:23      (from a 1:9:58 this year, done in May)
Grant 1:16:24      (bettering the 1:16:56 done last month)

Fastest was Nik Bowdler (Farnborough and Camberley CC) - this year's BBAR Champion - in 52:35.

Congratulations to all!
