Marshals: Paul McDaid
Start: Sleeches Cross

Course: GS867 Sleeches Cross > Mark Cross > Wadhurst
Distance: 9.80 miles
TT Lead: Julian Fussell

Marshals: Rosemary Chapman, Martin Yardley & Chris Parker
Start: Sleeches Cross
Course Record: Sam Fuller – 23min 24 sec (11th Aug 2022)
Report: A last minute course change caused some confusion and worry over bike choice, particularly for our Low Land guests, Tjeerd & Ron, who got to experience a ‘proper’ SDW TT complete with the usual climbing. It was the conclusion of the 2UP TT Comp and our winners are Chris Parsons-Green & Rory Barrett – very well deserved! The TT Comp is now closer than ever, David Bagge leading the way despite some ruthless 2 UP ride etiquette; we also wonder if Paul McDaid’s decision to ride a road bike in Event #3 has cost him a trophy… we’ll find out in 2 races time!

Report: Another good turout in the summer months, CPG powers his way closer to that RB competition trophy, whilst Baggey now has one had on the TT Trophy. It was a brilliant ride from Andrew Shepherd to take maximum points in the HCP comp. All getting very close as we approach the season conclusion.

TT Lead: Martin Derham
Timekeepers: Doug Finch & John Watson
Marshals: Emma Haswell & Rory Barrett
Start: Bottom of Jib Jacks
Course Record: Neil Harris – 28min 40 sec (20th July 2023)
Report: It’s ANOTHER course record for Neil ‘The Man in SDW Racing Black’ Harris who betters his previous best by 7 seconds. It was the TWTC vs SDW Interclub finale and fantastic to see almost 30 riders on the start sheet for this one. Impressive rides from people giving their first TT a good go too. Well done to CPG in RB Comp (he just needs x4 more now) and Adrian Storie HCP Comp who top this week’s tables.

Report: The smaller summer fields give an op[portunity for decent points in all the club competitions – it was Paul McDaid and Edward Steele who gained most in the TT and HCP competitions; whilst CPG max scored in the RB comp – will he managed to squeeze x10 events, or will the Gary Sinclair and Patrick Bareham dual go all the way to the finish line?

Report: Well done to all the riders who took part, it was a storming effort from John Rogers, the East Grinstead CC rocket who took the scratch and handicap victory this week. He gets placed in Albion division (which should rein him in a little for future events!). It was a BRILLJANT ride by Simon Howden too, a few more of those and he’ll be flying up those divisions. A special shoutout to Oscar Mcilwham who picks up the Pongo London – SDW TT Rider of the Day award for a great ride in his first SDW TT.

Start: On A267 by junction with B2099 to Wadhurst (W3W: ///gravy.rounds.owls)

Report: Wow! We had 31 riders give the course a go, with x9 teams in the ever popular 2UP competition. It was CPG & Rory leading the teams home to take 20 points in various competitions. Well done to Simon Woodcock, Mark Shepherd, Paul McDaid and Nathan Vince (making his TT debut) whose impressive solo rides gave many of the pairs something to think about. In the HCP comp the organiser was a little generous with the time… neverthless that’s a great ride by Michael Bishop in his first TT in a few years.
Our PONGO London Rider(s) of the Week are Cathy Gill (first lady home) & John Fuller (who endured another debrief despite a few tumbles on the way home from last week’s social!). Well done to both of you!
In the AEIGHT BIKE CO SDW TT Ladder it’s ‘sorting week’ as we complete Round 1 of our first season…
