Hillingdon Coaching Day

SheCycles and the Surrey League are holding another women's coaching day at Hillingdon on Sunday 10 December. The last one sounds as if it was a great success, so I'm sure it will be a good day. However, they are promising another one in the New Year which sounds a more appealing prospect to me - not sure I really want to be doing anything much in December, apart from the obvious mince pie-eating, beer drinking etc. ... But if you are interested go to shecycles.com for further info!

Sample of my Nepal and Tibet photos

Hi Everyone,

A small selection of photos from my holiday. I'm not putting all of them up as I have over 600! The rest of the ones that I will select will be up sometime late November early December.

Click here for the link. These photos are from Kathmandu, on the roads in Tibet, Camping on The Worlds Longest Descent, The Worlds Longest Descent, and Mount Everest.

Enjoy

Redmon Winter 10s

Richard Hoskin of the Redmon has kindly informed me that they are organising 10s on the G10/42 course every other Saturday afternoon through the winter. They start a week tomorrow (18 November) and you can either ride out with them from Sutton station (leaving 12.30 I think, but better check), or meet them at Spook Hill for a 2pm start.

Here are 2 photos I took whilst cycling yesterday. 1 shows the gradual climb of 9 Kms to where I took the second picture of bike and my home valley in the far distance. You can see that the road surface is excellent. The only worry is of falling into a rain drain whilst wobbling slowly upwards in a very very low gear, or hurtling down at 50 to 60mph. This was only my fourth ride this year but I'm a little stronger each time out. Tomorrow I may attempt the ride to from Salama to Rabinal and back. It's just 58Kms but there's the little detail of a 10km climb to be dealt with in both directions. Fortunately here, if you get knackered, you just wait a few minutes for a bus - and I do mean a 'few' - there's 1 every 2 or 3 minutes and they cost peanuts.

I hope you are all enjoying yourselves.

Regards
Colin C
