I know parking is going to be a bit tricky but can I please ask everyone to try to leave a couple of spaces near to the clubhouse clear for them if possible.
 

Also, half the Time Team has a blue badge (and the other half has to carry all the kit, which will greatly delay proceedings if it has to be lugged from the back of beyond)...

Haven't signed on yet, am hoping to come over on Saturday, depending if the stars align tomorrow....

I've never parked on the road, but blimey, is it really that bad? [We're talking a 20yr old beaten up, paint riddled, Focus estate here!.....maybe that's more attractive though].
More importantly, is there an access to a kettle? [I seem to remember there was one in the kitchen] I can't survive more than an hour without tea!.

Parking on Springfield Road may be totally safe - we're just telling you about a couple of previous incidents where break-ins have been attempted during races. There will be a funfair at the end of the road this weekend which might attract more 'passing traffic' then usual.

We have full use of the clubhouse, including a kitchen with kettle. Please take any rubbish away with you at the end of the day.

The Race Day page for Hillingdon is now online with details of the races, the facilities and live results:

Lovely day today at Hillingdon. Nice to see some old faces, together with plenty of new ones too. Goodness me, it's a been a while [2008 I think for me]. One could be forgiven when you're standing on the sidelines that it doesn't look that difficult, but I was gratefully reminded today just how deceptively taxing it can be when you're trying to put your foot down continually for any length of time. It's the kind of cycling that I'm just not used too.

Thanks to all who put the work in, both behind the scenes and on the day, to make it possible.

Sudden realisation that I must have met Garry without really noticing...

Anyway, after a very long day I'm spending tomorrow dead for tax reasons.  Results will get a spint & polish when I feel un-tired enough to stand a reasonable chance of not deleting something important by mistake.

Thanks to all who took part, helped, didn't get too upset at my rookie streamliner wobbling, picked me up after crashing, etc.

I found a pair of medium sized black running shorts in the male toilet. I will bring them to the next races.
