Hillingdon heros – June 2009 round up

June has been an amazing month for London Phoenix at the Hillingdon circuit with no less than five of our riders reaching Cat 3 status and three getting podiums. Mark Paul got an inspired win in mid June, while Gary Lingard was just edged out of a win a week later but was miles ahead of the competition in 2nd place. And on the final race of the month Paul Wixon took a stunning 3rd place and a really hard won 3rd Cat licence after nearly a year and a half of trying.

London Phoenix riders also managed to get consistent top ten places and more points. Matt Webber picked up his 3d Cat licence in the same race as Gary, and David Murrell took his licence at the beginning of the month after placing 5th. Well done to both. Stephen Hird, Andrew Angwin, Peter Baird and Ken Iino also managed consistent efforts and are now on the cusp of 3rd cat licences, with plenty of others just out of the points so far.

    We are a group of London-based cyclists, who get together for races and training rides. We have a website forum as our virtual clubhouse, and instead of regular weekly club rides from a set place we arrange to meet up for mountain bike, road or cyclocross rides, races and time trials from a variety of venues. We also meet up socially every month.

    See the on-road and off-road sections for news on upcoming events we're doing as well as our recent achievements.
