Chapeau to Elliot, this week he scored his first win at Hog Hill in a 3/4 crit - a well earned result. He has raced a pretty fine early season and is well on his way to achieving his target of gaining 2nd cat status this year. Welldone.
Ed also pulled in a very respectable 7th this week in the MSG at Hadleigh - only seconds off Hayden, another good result for him.
Apologies to Titouan - in a recent edition of the Drivel credited him with an ‘impressive 6th place’ at the at Southern XC - actually I got that completely wrong - he came even more impressively 2nd - which is pretty damn good.
Saturday 11th of June - Youth road and Junior Road ride
Youths - Mark will be be leading a road ride for youth riders, loosely following the 30 mile Dulwich route out to the Downs.
Juniors - Dave will be leading a road ride covering your favorite hills and tea shops.
Both rides will leave the velodrome at 9.30am and be back at Cafe Paradou around 1.30.
Remember rides will be on the road so normal pack drill required: -
Helmets must be worn
BC HHYCC and/or DP Membership required
Bring spare inner tubes that fit your bike
Wear suitable clothing for the weather
Money for emergency buns
Food and water
The name and telephone number of an adult who can rescue you on a PIECE OF PAPER in your back pocket.
Parents and Guardians - Please be contactable and available to rescue your charge should the need arise.
Sunday 12th June - Battle of Bowl Cross
This is a new one on me - website drivels on about Gravel meets Cross - which is odd as I thought Cross covered most surfaces, anyway looks a load of fun and Dulwich Cross Team has been entered for some of the races. Talk to Mark about it or check the website www.cxsportive.com/battle-in-the-bowl-super-cx
Tuesday 14th June Crystal Palace Crits
Summer didn’t arrive in time for this week’s race - perhaps the weather will be kinder next week.
It is important for Juniors and Seniors to note that entry in advance is strongly advised - however if the race is full turn up at sign on promptly at 6 pm, be nice and help that nice Mr Joss Buckley, you MAY get a place.
Youths are excused pre entering - turn up on evening with some money.

Wednesday 15th June - Rd 6 Beastway MTB at Hog Hill
Again, I hope the weather will be accommodating.http://beastwaymtb.com/
Thursday 16th June - Harry Must Time Trial - Cudham
Continuing from Bletchingly - the series has now reverted to its traditional home at Cudham - the start point is at the entrance of the recreation ground near the Blacksmiths Arms TN14 7QB.
It’s a 10 mile circuit that’s slightly more forgiving than the Bletchingly circuit, the series continues weekly until 21st July.
You need to be at the start by 19.45 - which normally means leaving Elmers End by 18.45 at the latest. Entry is free of charge to club members - those under 18 who have not presented a TT Parents Consent form need to take one. These can be downloaded from here - dulwichparagon.proboards.com/thread/8783/parents-consent-forms
Thursday 16th - MTB Lung Busting - Herne Hill Velodrome
If the Time Trial doesn’t appeal - you can the same sort of thing off road at Geoff’s Lung Busting sessions. Primarily aimed at Youth riders these sessions are aimed at increasing your strength and endurance in preparation for the forth coming Cross season.
Sign on by 6.50 pm ready for a 2 hour thrashing. £4 levy per session
Saturday 18th - Junior Cross adventure
Advance notice - As the exam season begins to fade it’s time to start a few of the longer off road adventures, I’m planning to drag you all out along Pilgrims Way to Rochester and to return along the Thames. The ride will be suitable for Cross and MTB’s and will take most of the day.
Sunday 31st July - Rd 5 of UCI Junior Series MTB Hadleigh
www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/146584/Hadleigh-Park-International-
I’ll check the entry criteria- but a few of you may be interested in taking part, let me know.
