DPCC Cyclocross - Volunteers requested - 9th and 10th October
The annual Cyclecross event organised by DPCC will be held on Sunday 10th October 2010. Racing begins at 11AM. I am looking for members to help clear and mark the course on Saturday 9th October. We usually meet at the showground for 09:30 and finish about 12:30. If members have a small bow saw, branch loppers, rake or a mallet to bash pegs in that would be helpful. 8 people would see us finished by 12:30. On Sunday I am looking for members to help with the race organisation and marshalling. Race registration requires 2 people from 10:00 to 13:00 after which 1 person could manage to handle returning numbers. Registration involves checking licences, taking entry fees and issuing numbers. Also required are 2/3 people to enter rider details into the data base and produce the results sheets. They should be comfortable working with computers and need to be quick and accurate at inputting data. They will be required from 10:00 until after the last race has finished and the result has been calculated. (15:30). I also require number takers, 4 per race plus a runner to return the lap sheets to the persons running the data base. This could be several members splitting the duties between the races. Race times are 11:00 Under 12s, 11:30 Youth, 12:30 Junior Vets and Women 13:30 seniors. 2/ 3 marshals also required around the course to monitor racing and potential accidents. There will be First Aid cover in attendance. The course has to be dismantled after the race and involves removing pegs and tape from around the course. This does not take long its quicker than marking out the course (less than 1 hour) Refreshments will be available all day to those helping. Any offers of help to Phil Robbins 01235 834501 or pm via the forum Time Trial Etiquette - A few pointers from our TT SecretaryIf you are a regular club time trialist, please take a few minutes to read the note from our Time Trial Secretary, Phil Brown. 5 Points of Etiquette for TT's

26th August - Sires Hill TT and End of Time Trial SupperIt was a damp evening, but we saw a decent turn out for the Sires Hill H10/15 10 mile time trial. The event was won by Jesse Elzinger of Beeline Cycles, with Phil Brown heading up the DPCC finishers. Following the time trial we met at the Red Lion in Brightwell for our End of Season Supper. It was a great night at the end of a great season of cycling. See the Time Trials page for full details. Thanks to all for your assistance throughout the year, particularly our TT secretary, Phil Brown, our social secretary, Laura Wells, for organising the meal and to everyone who volunteered throughout the TT season. Note, we do have a few events left with the Harwell Hilly coming up on the 5th September. We're looking forward to seeing you there!
