August 2017 - Rider of the Month

Rider of the month for August goes to Gavin McCloskey-Lambert, for the frankly insane effort of completing London-Edinburgh-London, one of the most infamous endurance events at 1,441 KM, in an eye-watering time of 96 hours! That includes a stretch of riding 27 hours straight with no sleep and in brutally cold and windy conditions too. Hard. As. Nails.

July 2017 - Rider of the Month

July's rider of the month goes to Chelsea McCloskey-Lambert. She has completely smashed the TTs this year and PB'd every distance/ course she's ridden, including an incredible 23:50 in the Selby CC 10! In between riding like a demon, baking like a demon and watching U2 like a demon she has also been tweeting like a demon, taking over the Wheelers account to live tweet Gavin's frankly mind-blowing London-Edinburgh-London ride, which was great to be able to follow! Top work Chelsea

It's the last club 10 of the year this monday, so come down for one last PB, or if you haven't raced yet this is your last chance to see what it's all about before next year!

Warning though that the course is going to be changed to J6/10 due to roadworks on the usual course. See details here https://www.strava.com/segments/15546779

Also we still need a few more marshalls so if you can help please shout up, cheers!
