Bill first joined the club in 1977 and was made a life member in 2015. Many will remember him as a kind and always considerate companion on club runs. Bill often gave up his time to help the club including, most recently, refurbishing club race signs each winter. He was active in several local causes and organised a number of charity events.
Jonny Spowart bill be attempting a 24hr Zwift ride on 6th and 7th March. 12 hours each day. 8am-8pm. This is in aid of the charity Head for Change which aims to provide a "safe space for our sporting heroes, past, present and future. Head for Change is a new charity, pioneering positive change for brain health in sport and supporting ex-players who are affected by neurodegenerative disease as a result of their career playing football or rugby".
We did not manage to run the Time Trial league in 2020 because of the Covid restrictions but we did manage to run some races including all of the Out of Season events and of particular note is the magnificent haul by Alex Powell who, by winning two of the OOS events and coming second in the other, ran away with the Out of Season Best All Rounder competition. He also won the Old Skool race for good measure! Other winners of individual events were Gareth Wignall, Claire Gopoulos and Brian Hill. Well done to them all.
On Sunday 19th January Wheelers' members gathered at Mayflower Place in Hertingfordbury for their annual dinner and awards ceremony. This year the start time was put back to 4:00 pm so many had been able to complete club rides in the morning, thus providing themselves with some justification to indulge fully in the food provided.
We held our Annual General Meeting at Allenburys last Sunday. Marcia produced an excellent presentation showing the highlights of the club's year. You can view it here.
Thank you to ALL those who helped out on this event. I believe that I thanked everyone personally although no doubt I missed one or two! Your contribution made this event a success.
Special thanks to LeeM & Tony DS for all their input.
