Sixteen riders - on a fresh windy All Hallow's Eve. Echelons formed to battle a strong southwesterly wind. At the front the stronger lads made the pace, rest of us struggled to find some shelter and hang on. A group of seven led to the roundabout. On return leg Malc flew up Spooky Hill like a jet engined broomstick, Eastbourne Rover Stuart Davis hopped onto his wheel and hung on until President Crabb's place. Half a dozen led chase with Nathan spinning a rapid cadence on fixed. Malc was justifiably pleased that his break succeded and he'd stayed away till Bexhill. I was dropped by the chasing group on Herbrand Walk but rejoined at the roadworks traffic lights, average speed 18mph. Good to see Martyn and Jack our two newest juniors out, if Steve had been out with his camera we would have a picture here of the next Wiggo and Froome.Nice BLOG report of the ESCA hill climb Peter, best wishes to Joe. It's probably my favourite open event of the year. I sent my apologies to Club Sec Chris Parker and the ESCA hill climb organisers on Saturday as a surfeit of illustration work has landed on my shoulders and I've been working weekends and evenings to meet several short deadlines. Here's one I did recently for Cycle Sport's review of the year, see you at the club hill climb this Sunday, please sign on promptly at 9:00am inthe public car park nearest Fairlight church.
