2003 Reports
2002 Reports

As a club we promote taking part in events out of the island, after
all a rock 5 by 9 miles does tend to limit our options. We provide financial
help to riders taking part in competitive events out of the island,
usually in the UK and France.
In addition the club organises other events of a less competitive nature
and those we expet to be taking part in during 2004 are shown here -
that said, we're a bit short of information at the moment. Both road
and MTB riders ride in these events which generally take place as a
'weekend away'.
There are also a number of more ad-hoc trips to France, usually weekend
or day trips and tend to be organised at short(ish) notice to make sure
the weather forecast is good. Details normally appear on the home page.
If you're interested in any of the following, talk to either Torty Hubert
(499440) , John Gage (864275) or click HERE.
