| HSLCC Invade Normandy! |
A party of seven club members has just returned from three days of cycling in France, starting and finishing in Cherbourg. After a fast crossing of 3 hours from Portsmouth we spent Sunday night in Cherbourg then on Monday went via the Pointe du Hoc gun emplacements and D Day Omaha landing beach for night in Bayeux. The next morning we went to see the tapestry, it is so very well presented and more than worth every euro of the entrance fee, before riding almost due west for the last night in Coutances. Top marks to Steve Curtis for booking all of the accommodation and planning a superb route on quiet rural lanes, we clocked up 200 miles. I had cycled from Le Havre and St Malo several times before but wish I had tried Cherbourg years ago, I will be going back there.
So several of the regulars missed Wednesday’s TT at Ninfield since we were on our way back from France. Many thanks to John Vidler and Nigel Tamplin for time keeping a field of 12 riders. I made it that there were 7 PBs and 2 SBs, the other three riders doing their first of the season, so it must have been a pretty good evening. Please see the attached table of times.
We are at Ninfield again next week (3 June) signing on at 18:30 sharpish before we move to the Classic Hastings-Rye-Hastings course for three weeks (10, 17 and 24 June).
