Next Club Pub Ride Thursday 26th June 2008
After a successful ride incorporating the Bax Castle (14 members attended) and by popular demand, we plan to repeat the evening just after the longest day. The plan is again to meet at the Carfax at 7.15pm and ride as two groups (social and faster pace) to the Bax Castle pub only a few miles south of Horsham near Christ’s Hospital.
Please remember to have lights on your bike for your return ride home. The pub can also be accessed from the Downslink cycle track.

Club Time Trial Sat 17th May 2008
This time trial being the first of the season will be a bit special and will follow the same format as last year.
The course is the hilly Faygate – Newdigate loop (GS/189) and starts at 10am. We will be using the Holmbush Inn as a base and there is room for about a dozen cars in the pub car park. (to be parked at the far end of the car park away from the pub) You can also use the station car park, but do not park in the bays on the access road to the station, those belong to the residents.
The pub will be open at the end of the event (about 11.30am) where catering in the form of sandwiches will be laid on.
This event is open to all Club members. The first part of the field will goes as a two up, (find a suitable partner and enter as a pair) followed the solo riders.
If you intend riding this event, it would be helpful if you could confirm by email to stewart@horshamcycling.co.uk by Thursday 15th May 2008.
Riders should arrive to sign on by 09.40am
Entry Fee of £2.50 payable on the day

Prices Reduced !!
We have revised the prices for 2008 taking into account our stockholding of short sleeve jerseys. In our attempt to keep prices as low as possible all other prices are based on us ordering a minimum of 5 of each item. If orders received by me for any items other than short sleeve jerseys do not reach the minimum order level of 5 we will advise you of any cost implication so that you can decide whether to proceed.

Club Reliability Trials |
In the past these events were used to test the riders fitness at the later part of the winter prior to the forthcoming racing season.Nowadays these events are not races but often just a slight level up from your normal club ride. Often the riders are set off in groups according to time selected but they do not have to stick with the group
The idea is to complete the distance in a set time, there is a choice of time standards available. By choosing a set time you can make the ride as leisurely or as challenging a you wish.
Horsham cycling normally have two destinations, a longish ride of about 60 miles and a shorter one of around 30 miles.
The shorter distance is aimed at the Social Riders who can still make it an easy or challenging ride. There is also a certificate for riders who complete the distance within their set time. (+/- 10minutes)
The social group in particular enjoy these events that have become very popular.
