Don't miss two of the best time trials of
the season. These are the Joint Maldon and
Southend 25 on Sunday Sept 5
and the Interclub on Saturday Sept
11. Take the rare chance to compete
against riders from some of our neighbouring
clubs on a different course than our usual
10 course, and to meet them over
refreshments afterwards.
The Joint Maldon & Southend 25 is one of two
events organised in conjunction with the
Maldon CC, the other being the Joint 30 that
we are organising on Oct 24. Normally the
Steeple Village Hall would be used, but
because this is not available Maldon have
booked the Lawling Park Hall at Mayland.
The Interclub, is a competition held between
clubs, principally ourselves, Chelmer, and
Colchester. Any number of riders can turn up
and ride from each club but the fastest four
times for each club are added together and
whichever is lowest wins the
competition. Each club takes it in turn to
organise the event, and this year it is at
Chelmsford.
Here are the details, the courses should be
properly marshalled but I have included a
rough description of them in case you do not
have a local handbook:
