Hounslow 100
It's a pity you've found something for the 27th May because the Hounslow 100 (The Ron Brown Memorial) is on the 28th.
This is an event that the HDiJ riders are capable of doing and might make a good focus for the first part of your 2023 season.
In the past we have offered a prize for the best ride on fixed and if there had been any enthusiasm from here, I sure I could have resurrected the award for this year.
The course is the Farnham Alton (A31) road, which is fairly well suited to fixed - in fact the last solo TT I rode where I was pleased with the result was this event in 2006. I was on 50x15 which a 27" gear table gives as 90". I'm sure many of you could do better than me (and I'll tell you what I did if any of you commit to riding!).
You certainly would not be able to do a big ride on the 27th and then the 100 the next day.
Any takers? If there are I'll make an effort to give you some history of the event.
