Thanks mainly to Astrid, who has turned out to be something of a star on the road as well as in cyclo-cross, we’re currently in 6th position in the London Women’s Cycle Racing League.  Astrid’s cyclo-cross experience has come in very handy though, with a Lance Armstrong-style detour across the grass at the Hog Hill race!

Our team isn’t just a one-woman band of course – Annabel, Alex, Louise and Liz have all participated already, and there are several more who are planning to attend future events.  If you’re looking for a club to race with, why not join us?

Mention the words Amstel Gold to most people and they’ll start idly daydreaming of ice cool beers and the pancake flat landscape of Holland, rather than the legendary bike race of the same name. Of course LP’s long distance specialists Richard Knight and Richard Lam aren’t most people, as they ably demonstrated at the weekend when they took on the very same 31 hills and 250km of pain the pros would ride the very next day.

Amstel Gold is one of the Spring Classics, a series of super tough one day races that attract the very best riders in the world. This year Belgium’s Philippe Gilbert was the first man to cross the line on the hill top finish – and as Richard Knight reports – that really was no mean feat.
