On 10 March 2012 our annual open road races, the Roy Thame Cup & Spring Chicken Road Races will once again be held on a rolling circuit in the Claydons in Buckinghamshire. With luck this 24th edition of the popular early season event (& for many years the previous incarnation the Circuit of Cublington making it 35 years) will be blessed with fair Spring weather as has been the case on so many previous occasions.
The club's annual open 10 mile time trial takes place on the Leighton Buzzard bypass course (code F12/10) on Saturday 6 August 2011.
