Jonathan keeps on winning !

The opening 2013 Interclub Time Trial on the  Subundrige course had an excellent  turnout. 30 riders faced the clock, and the bitterly cold weather, including light snow showers for the duration of the event. Avanti's Jonathan Harris ignored the conditions to post the winning time, thus securing another win to add to his tally for this season so far.Full results will be published later, when released by the organising club, Sydenham Wheelers.

RUBBER BOUNCES - I DIDN''T
I wanted to thank Avanti members and friends,including those from Sydenham Wheelers and Sevenoaks-Tri, for their concern and kind words of encouragement with regard to my recent road accident. In addition my heartfelt thanks to Dave Marshal who called the ambulance, secured my bicycle and generally looked after me. How he didn't throw up when confronted with my arm injury, I'll never know.

Two other concerned young people provided blankets and pillows until medical help arrived. Unfortunately they had departed from the campsite before Dave could personally thank them the following day.
The road to recovery is long and slow,ask any other Avanti riders who have travelled down this route. However, I enjoyed a great buzz seeing everyone racing when helping Ian with the time keeping at yesterday's evening ' 10 ' at Cudham Lane.

Today I booked a cycling holiday to Italy - my determination to ' saddle up ' has not diminished.
Many thanks for all your support.

Hi Dave, Thanks for that. I will most likely be away for a lot of August in France but will update you nearer the time. See you Sunday. Cheers, Kevin
