Stolen Bikes
Club member Tommy Bennett had his bikes stolen from Sutton Coldfield
this weekend and asks that we keep an eye out for the following bikes.
There were four bikes. Full description as follows:
1. Litespeed Saber - silver, Hed Stinger Wheels, Osymmetric chain
rings, full Dura Ace, polar CS400.
2. Specialized Tarmac Pro - black, red; Mavic ES wheels, Pinarello
Cranks, compact chain set, full Dura Ace
3. Giant Carbon frame - PINK & BLACK - Mavic Askium wheels; Ultegra
groupset
4. Focus Cayo - black & white - aluminium, 105 Shimano wheels, 105 groupset and a Polar powermeter (CS600).
All of the bikes are built up therefore highly individual. The Litespeed
is unique, as it has OSymmetric chain rings, which are very new in the UK

Please email thomas.bennett@victor-henry.co.uk or call (0)7973813964 if
you see or hear anything.

Bill Jinks Memorial
Many thanks to everyone who helped make the races a success. It wouldn't be possible without club members and friends working hard to make sure all the different jobs are done properly.

The new circuit seemed popular so we can look forward to the race staying there for next year. Thanks again, John (click image for larger version).
