Now that the clocks have gone forward it can only mean one thing - it's time for summer road racing in the mild and light evenings.

There are a few different things we can do but I will push the 4 relays and enter teams for these.

How does a relay work? what's it all about ? I hear you ask. There is something about running as hard as you can (for not very long) and then tagging your teammate in the cross-over zone at the end before you collapse gasping only to be on your feet a few minutes later shouting encouragement at them that is an amazing buzz.

And, last year, despite being a bunch of mullti-sport types, and despite going up against the best Athletics clubs in the SE (Tonbridge AC, Kent AC, Belgrave, Ranelagh, Fulham, Herne Hill Harriers and more), we won the mixed team in one and finished top 10 in the most prestigious of them all.

1) Beckenham. 22nd May. 3*2.6m. £15 per team.

For now just pop the dates in your diary if you think you might be interested and then your Run Captain(s) will be in touch nearer the time.

These events have up to 500 runners in them from the Loughborough students at the front to the V70s at the back so they are suitable for all - enthusiasm the only necessary attribute. Oh, and a Windrush vest/T-shirt. !

And, in every case, the field then "debriefs" afterwards over a couple of rehyrdrating "sports drinks". and then a gentle pedal home.

any questions just pm me.
