It was with some sadness that we heard of the Death of Guy Lapebie at the age of 93 this week  .

HWCC riders have  ridden the Lapebie events in Luchon for the last few years so in 2010 we will be putting in that extra effort .

Guy Lapébie (born 28 November 1916 Saint-Geours-de-Maremne; died 8 March 2010, Bagnères-de-Luchon) was a French professional road bicycle racer. Guy Lapébie was the younger brother of Tour de France winner Roger Lapébie. In the 1936 Olympics, Lapébie won two golden medals and one silver medal

So Chapeu to Guy and best wishes  to his Family and sister Bridgette.

There have been some changes made to the 100 mile route since last year. 

We’ve taken out the loop through Stratton Audley (Northeast of Bicester) and diverted into Winslow.  This change gives riders a chance to have a cuppa in Winslow, Thame and Benson.

Have a look at the new route by going to Reliability Trials – Maps & GPS files

Sign-on is between 8 and 9am.  You may start as soon as you have signed-on.

James Norriss -Gareth Baston -Clive Nichols-Tom Crouch are High Wycombe Cycling Clubs Tour of Wales stage race Team .

 The Team are about to Embark of there Training camp in Sunny Majorca .

So before the headed off to sunnier weather I caught up with two of the Team at the Cynergy PT Fitnes studio in Fawley .

I asked a few questions but as you will see from the below video – the message and the passion is clear

What a Valentines day it was for 17  HWCC Reliability Riders ,Snow, Rain , Ice and punctures visited the brave ( or simply nutts )Club riders on the day of love and warmness  .

Not much love was lost on the rides though , Punctures being the main bug bare . Either way your dear old Club Mag Editor  met several of the riders riding up Aston Hill and towed the sad , sick , muddy faced souls to the Oasis that was Costa Coffee . The Medium Group finishing in 3 Hrs 55mins

I have added a few pics – Before and After. All i can say is Chapeu -100k in horrible conditions will im sure make you stronger .

BEFORE - Reliability Riders discuss a bike mounted snow plough

AFTER- Faces only a mother could love -Victorious 100k Survivors
