Dear allTRC 2nd claim riders Ollie Robinson and Dan Martin face a problem post Brexit as at the moment they can only stay in the EU for 90 days. Obviously for a racing season and living over there this is not enough time. Please support the petition (link below) to try and push for a visa for young athletes from the Uk to travel and try and forge a career in cycling abroad. Also please copy and share to anyone else that can help.
Thanks Colin
Huge well done to the riders representing the club at this mornings London Lockdown e race stage 2. The course was a really killer 46km but with 1700m of climbing including a final ascent of the Alpe d’Zwift. The results were: Faye Baldwin 14th (E-women cat) 2:19:37
Colin Robinson 44th (B-men cat) 1:51:32
Simon Henderson 115th (B-men cat) 2:05:20
Next race in series 27th March.

John Griffith
Many of you will have seen the article below that Colin published in the February NewsWheel:
I have received the sad news recently of the death of John the husband of Gill Griffith. They were both members of the club for many years until moving to Wales some 5 years ago, Gill is a former Committee Member. John became ill with dementia and had been in a care home for 2 years and was unable to walk. Unfortunately Covid got into the care home, John picked it up almost immediately and passed away soon after.
I sent a message of condolence to Gill from the Club she was very appreciative. She also said that if anyone wants to use her house for a base for cycling in Wales they will be very welcome to use one of her 3 spare bedrooms. She lives 11 miles from Llangollen, about an hour`s drive to Snowdonia.
There is now a tribute page for John where those who knew can remember, add thoughts, memories, light a candle, make a donation.
