Hilly 50 Saturday 7 March 2015
An interim report. Thanks to all who entered and rode on the day, you all had a fantastic day out in lovely weather despite the slightly shortened rout. Congratulations to Steve Winder of Epsom CC, though this is not a race but what I call a pre-season warm up or in the old CTC jargon a reliability ride, today more commonly known as a Sportive you did it in the words of Jeremy Clarkson in 1hr. 45 mins which is even better than the "STIG" - WOW! Second quickest was Russel Williams of KPRC in 1hr. 57mins. well done to you all.
Thanks very much to all who entered in total 61 riders on what was a beautiful day, we were so lucky. In the process CTC raised £305 + £25 in donations on the day a total of £330 for our local Hospice in Cheam - St. Raphael. Further donations are welcome!
It would not be fair to mention to many names but I would particularly like to thank Ray Dare the phenomenal 88 year KPRC & CTC member who holds so many National VTTA records for turning up and helping at the start. I would also like to mention in particular Graham Hill the former promoter when this event was a CTC Cheam & Morden event for his invaluable help in setting up the online registration and rout via GPS etc. I would alsolike to thank the CTC SWLondon district Chairman Dave Vine for all his help with the signing on and indeed for riding the event.
Many local cycling clubs supported this event lie Addiscombe who have for many years along with Epsom CC. I would particularly like to thank VCLondres for their support and the wonderful turnout of youngsters, you are the salt of the earth and a credit to future generations of sporting cyclists.
I will be posting lots of photo's in due course but for now thanks again for all who rode. Please let you friends know about the eventg again next year around the 8th March 2016y I would like to get 100 riders.

CTC SW London Hilly 50 Sat 7 March 2015
I am organising a sporting hilly 50 in aid of St Raphael’s Hospice North Cheam. Entry is £5 payable on the line at the start which is at Ryka’s Cafe on Saturday 7 March 2015. Signing on begins at 9.30am for a prompt 10am start. Route sheets are provided and the course is challenging. There are no marshals or signs and no food stops, you need to be self sufficient but it is a good early season training ride and the whole of the entry fee goes to the hospice.
You can pre- register (but still pay £5 at the start) by going to www.cyclingswlondon.org.uk Go to the yellow homepage and on the LHS you will see “Entry Form” click on that and enter your details you will get an “Auto Reply” By going to the centre of the page you can download the route and map. The finish will be at the top of Box Hill at the NT. Cafe and I will be there until 2pm. For a real challenge some guy’s do this event in under 2hrs but under 3hrs is more the average. This event has been running for nearly 40 years promoted by CTC. The rider however is entirely responsible for his own safety.

Hilly 50 Warning Road Closed for 7 March 2015
Please note that Logmore Lane Wetscott is effectively closed due to ongoing water pipe works. There is a trench dug for new pipe and much mud. It is therefore decided to cut this normally tricky part of the circuit out!
Riders please note after descending Ranmore back into Dorking proceed to the A25. Do not turn left into the one way system in Dorking which itself is at present closed to cars. Instead turn right along the A25 through the traffic lights and go Westward strait to Wesctcott. Carry on Westward through Westcott and pick up the normal route by the church and carry on Westward to turn left at the top of the hill at PH Wooton Hatch. This is at 9.7 miles on the old route but will be at approx 4.7 miles on the shortened route.
