Race 3 of the SouthernXC took SRAMcc to Clanfield near Havant – It proved to be fantastic, a very hot and dusty day, the course was pretty intimidating with lots of technical features but all made it around with no problems. Josh Anderson had a season best result with a 6th, WELL DONE JOSH.
Isle of Wight Randonnee 04 May 2025
Yesterday a group of SRAMcc members, (Stuart Brown, Chantel Cowlam, Sam Dorking and Wayne Brittain) visited the Isle of Wight for the annual Randonnee. An early and slightly chilly start gave way to a fantastic day. We made a slight detour to take in a spot of early lunch at Cook+Baker in Godshill, and tried to keep our times at the official stops as brief as we could. Fortunately we had the wind with us most of the way around until we hit the Military Road and then around the top section of the island, but strong riding by everyone meant we made good time. The Randonnee is a lovely event, amazing to see so many cyclists on the island. It would be great to see some more SRAMcc riders next year.

Battle On The Beach 29/30 March 2025
Battle on the Beach takes place in the breathtaking Pembrey Country Park and on the historic Cefn Sidan Beach in South Wales. The area is steeped in history, with the park once serving as a munitions factory from 1882 to 1963. Riders may catch glimpses—or even pass through—some of the remnants, including tunnels, bunkers, train depots, and defence towers. Cefn Sidan Beach also has a fascinating past, with over 100 shipwrecks recorded in its shallow waters and along its firm sands. Today, this remarkable venue is a stunning country park, boasting over 500 acres of lush woodland and a Blue Flag beach, offering the perfect backdrop for the event. 9 SRAM members were racing and it started well on Saturday with Josh bagging a 3rd in the U14 race followed by Reuben getting the win and Tony getting a 2nd in their respective categories in the hugely entertaining night 10k…
