|
Sunday 23 July 2017

Once again a surprisingly small field for a rare chance at a fast 50 in this area. This is really odd given how few decent 50s there are in the race calendar.

Marc Townsend of Eastbourne Rovers is last man off, but it's more than likely that Mark Smith of Crawley Wheelers will have set him a challenging target. Rith Summerford of Eastbourne Rovers is a strong favourite in the womens' line up.
|
Sunday 18 June 2017
|
|
Paceline RT 25
Well Ben Elliott of the host club Paceline RT is last man off. However it's going to take a super human effort to beat Hamish Bond of Aerocoach (he did a 17:55 on P881R/10 just three days earlier!).
|
Sunday 17 June 2017
|
|
...a3crg 10

|
SCCU 50
Mark Smith (Crawley Wheelers) and Steve Williamson (...a3crg) are the hot favourites for the area's first 50 of this season. The ladies event looks hard to call but Laura Bartlett (...a3crg) won't be too far off the pace.

|
Saturday 27 May 2017
|
|
SCCU 10
James Rix is last man off with five very quick riders placed together at the rear of the field. Should be interesting.
Conversely super-quick Ruth Summerford is the first rider off on the morning and is expected to set a tough target for the other female riders. |
Saturday 20 May 2017

|
Brighton Mitre Hilly 25
With last year's event being called off due to Storm Katie we are hoping for better conditions this time around.
Prolific 11 times winner Pete Tadros is in the line-up and, like the 10 two days earlier, must be favourite to extend that sequence. |
Easter Monday 17 April 2017
|
|

Just 90 riders allowed for this run out on the (hopefully) fast course that was trialled as a club event by ...a3crg last season. Lots of fast riders in the line up and a full complement of reserves.

It's the traditional Easter sporting challenge: 'easy' going down to sea level, and rather lass so coming back.
|
Good Friday 14 April 2017
|
Sussex CA 2 Up TTT (28.5 Miles)
Steve Kane and Steve Dennis look nailed on to be the fastest (composite) scratch team, but there's loads of categories so everyone gets a chance in this social fun early season event.
|
Sunday 9 April 2017
|
|
...a3crg Hurting on Harting -Part Deux (22.5 miles Sporting)
Two events in one with the Road Bike event being the final of the South DC Road Bike Spring Series. The series has been very successful and has added another dimension (plus entries) to the "Sporting Courses".
The TT event is headed by last season's winner Simon McNamara of South Downs Bikes. And all Finishers will be presented with the "Hurting on Harting - Part Deux" Mug. What could be better than that? |
Sunday 9 April 2017
|
ESCA 2 Up Team Time Trial
Twenty three pairs lined up for this one with the Eastbourne Rovers duo of Michael Davey and Howard Shaw being the pre-race favourites.

|
Sunday 19 March 2017
|
Sussex CA Hard Riders (22.8 Miles)
The first event of the SCA 2017 programme sees the traditional Hard Riders challenge. Last season saw the opening tough climb out of Staplefield removed because of roadworks in Handcross. This year's competitors may not be so lucky although hopefully it will be warmer than the arctic frost of last time.
Last season's runner up Liam Maybank of Twickenham CC heads the field. |
Sunday 5 March 2017
|
|
South Downs Bikes / Casco Pet Race Team (33.81K)
