Sam-
Hi Sam, that's good news - I've just pm'd you the organiser's email.
Apparently there is still a question mark over this year's event because the Westerley CC have withdrawn and the organiser is now inclined to plead lack of interest from riders. I believe it's important to try to keep this TT going, particularly when so many others are falling by the wayside and we have the centenary in sight.
I think just one more forum rider's entry could make a difference, especially since if lfgss were a member club, that would make a team (it is, in theory, a team event).
If you do take part you should be able to read about yourself on VeloUk since I intend to report the event. I promise that I will only mention your actual time if you tell me you're pleased with it! Otherwise I'll just mention your name as a rider from a potential new member club.
If you need the organisers details, send me a PM.

I should do it, it'd be my first 25 for over 25 years.

You may remember I suggested forum members could ride this event (as 'private time trials') and the result could be treated as The lfgss 25 Championship.
Well, there was a bit of a wobble with the promotion and it was necessary to make a special late application for the event - this has been done and the event is on, but I don't think it will be in any handbook.
This event started in 1925, so next year's will be the centenary. I think it's a newsworthy story that this rather humble little TT (it's essentially a club event) has lasted so long, and I believe it's something worthy of celebration, so I was keen that this year's event would happen and, of course, that next year's landmark happens also.
The clubs currently involved are: Hounslow, Twickenham and Westerley (theoretically there is also the Weybridge, but I don't think they are still functioning). The clubs have varied over the years but the Twickenham has always been on the list.
This year forum riders should just enter as PTT's, but I'm sure in the future the lfgss cc would be welcome as a member club if it has any riders wanting to compete, and this would be an easy first step in race promotion for the club (member clubs promote the event on an annual rotating basis).
So, if there are any contenders for the forum 25 championship, I'll provide a (second hand) trophy if there is more than one of you.
In theory it should be possible to enter as a private on the start line, but really if you want to ride it would be best to enter in advance. You could go straight to the Twickenham CC to do this, or if you prefer, send me a PM and I will forward your details.
So, Sunday 19th May, 8am, West of Windsor course HCC001.
