I think Tauni's glitter-modified Windrush logo on her hoodi should be adopted for all future hoodis."

Charles Barclay replied to Blair Hainsworth's discussion TT bike in London."You could take it to Richmond Parks and do laps there. Tends to get crowded at the weekend (cyclists and cars), so the earlier the better. I know people go there to ride in the evenings too but check what time the park gates close."
Charles Barclay replied to Neil Sutton's discussion Advice for Night Rides"I would get a really powerful front light and ride out to do a loop in Kent via Crystal Palace, Elmers End, West Wickham, Downe, Brasted, Brasted Chart, Toys Hill, Ide Hill, Brasted and back again. Should take 3-3.5 hours.

Really sorry to hear about this, how maddening.
It is worth putting word out on bike and tri forums eg Tri Talk. I recovered a carbon front wheel that I forgot to put in the car after Swanage triathlon by leaving a message on Tri Talk.

Chris Floyd said… Came 3rd overall in the Sprint, so absolutley thrilled with that! Definitely still room for improvement all round though esp the bike and T2.
Was hoping to compete at club champs in Reading but unfortunately we have an engagement do that weekend!
Will definitley have to be quicker off the mark booking in for spin, I hear that they can be pretty hard sessions! Have a good one tonight!

Hi Charles,
Thanks for the your message, was great meeting you too. Had a really good race on Saturday thanks, racked up another PB too! love the Dorney venue!
Was hoping to get to Spin tonight as I haven't done any of these sessions yet, didn't RSVP quick enough though and is now full. Hope your training is going well and hopefully see you at another session soon.

- Ouch!!! That sounds really painful - I was wondering why we hadn't see you about. Hopefully you can make it on Saturday. Im really really hoping the rain stays away!!

Hi - you have signed up for the Crystal Palace Triathlon under the Windrush name.
Since this race is also the Windrush Club Championship we have asked Crystal Palace to put us all into a Club group start, i.e. we will all go off in Windrush time order for our swim. Some of you have not read our emails about this and have not ticked the box saying it is the club championship (see table on discussion forum), and therefore have not ticked the box saying you want us to start together. I will tell Crystal Palace to ignore this fact and start us all together with the other club championship clubs, UNLESS you message me stating that you would rather not start with us at the beginning of the race, but would slot in during the course of the morning according to your swim time.
Tony D, James Raffle and Julia - you have said that you wish to NOT start with Windrush. Please let me know if this is still the case.
I will message you individually about this too to make sure you all get it!!
Thanks
Laura

- Hey Charles - looks like Brendan wasn't at the swim on Thursday so I guess you still have his t-shirt? Is there any way I can get this from you before you go away?
- At 8:52 on March 3, 2011, Laura A said…
- Hey - I got slightly confused last night!! Neither Stuart nor Brendan have paid - can you please collect £12 from both? Thanks so much.
- At 10:16 on February 28, 2011, Laura A said…
- OK cool - see you on Weds. The spin will go up soon to sign up. Its a shame you couldn't make the camp but as its the first one we were a little late in advertising it this year. You'll have more notice for the next one!!!
- At 9:51 on February 28, 2011, Laura A said…
Hi Charles,
Can you please let me know which session (Mon, Weds or Fri) you will be at this week to pick up your T-shirt and pay? I can't keep lugging them around forever Im afraid and we need payment this week.
Many Thanks
Laura
