Udderly Smooth’s the way for Sports Relief

Udderly SMOOth© Chamois Cream travelled from John O Groats to Lands End smoothing the way for the Sports Relief Milllion Pound Bike Ride Team this year as they raised money for Sports Relief 2010.

Udderly SMOOth© Chamois Cream was on hand to provide relief for Ferne Cotton, David Walliams, Davina McCall and the rest of the team as they battled freezing temperatures and icy winds day and night to complete the challenge in 82 hours and more importantly, raising over £1 MILLION for Sports Relief.

Enter the word MILLION when purchasing any Udderly SMOOth© product from www.udderly-smooth.com this month and ALL profits will be donated to Sports Relief!

 
 
 
 

 

Chicken Dinner and a Waterperry Pudding

James Norris came second in the Spring Chicken Road race this saturday . Good conditions and some smart and hard riding by James placed him well in the sprint and he got a great and well deserved second place. HWCC Rider Geoff Powell also worked hard for James and pulled back a strong group in the breakaway , this again demonstrates the great team work , trust and passion HWCC riders have when riding together , something sadly missing from other clubs . The HWCC Tour of wales Team rider was also present on the HWCC club run to Waterperry on sunday where some good through and off and sign racing was in abundance 

from LtoR Neil wragg,Johnathan smith and James Norris

Passing of a Legend

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.

Chapeau 100K Reliability Riders

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
