The Rawson Shield 2016

Ok folks, it is that time of year when we send out a call to arms for all our riders to enter a SCCU eventy, counting towards the Rawson Shield. We have won it for the last 2 years and we want to win it again in 2016, our 80th year. But winning's easy. We want to completely smash it and score 100 points, which as far as we know has never been done in this competition. The first events will be upon us soon, so get your entries in. Just to clarify a few points about entering and taking part in a time trial,

No, you do not need a TT bike.
No, you do not need a silly pointy hat.
No, you do not need a lycra skin suit.

Yes, you do need a bike.
Yes, you need to be able to pedal said bike.
Yes, you need to love riding your bike (which I take as a given, otherwise why would you be reading this!?)
Yes, you need to like tea and cake (for afterwards)
Yes, every ride gains the club a Rawson point, whether you finish first or last.

Those of you who ride on a Saturday or Sunday morning and have never ridden a TT before, we want you to enter just one event. I defy you not to enjoy it or get something out of it. These first three sporting events which are perfect rides if you are looking at doing some sportives, Ironman events or just want a scenic ride, we would like to aim to get 20 riders out per event, which would massively help us achieve our 100 points before the longer events later in the season. Everybody's entry will count

You can enter by posting a cheque to the event organiser, listed here for each event, or even easier, you can enter via the CTT website at www.cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/events.

So come people, let's do this. :D 

Any questions, then just put a message on here or e mail me.
