The 2009 timetrial season is virtually upon us.

Premilimary dates have been pencilled in as early April, so its time to get out and start putting some miles in, or you could just sit on a turbo like that guy.

Were looking at making some changes to the course and making it slightly more technical. So we'd like to hear your ideas of where it should go, keeping roughly in the area of the old course.

We've been contacted by James the organiser of the Midlands XC races and he's looking for the club to get involved.

Whats he's looking for is some volunteers to a: man an easyup at the race start/finish and promote the club, b: help mark the course out, design the route etc. with a bit of local knowledge.

Anyone willing to lend a hand should drop us an email or speak to someone at the shop.

Sneak peak of the new sponsored riders team kit for 09.

There will be a less 'vibrant' version for others later in the year.

A reminder that as the new year has started that subs for the club are now due for renewal.

Were working on what the deal will be, as most of you wont want a new top were imagining. So weve got to sort out a price.

More info to follow re perks etc.

We'd also l like your views and opinions on what we can do for 09, so next time you're in let us know.

For next weeks start list please see home page.
