There's a fair bit of news on the Inter-club front.
First of all, the next event in the Inter-club Hilly Series is tonight. Here's what organiser Glenn Rhodes of Barrow Central Wheelers says:
Coast Road 21 mile TT – Inter Club Hilly event Wednesday July 1st 19:00 hours.
As part of the Inter-Club Hilly Series Barrow Central Wheelers are running the coast 21 course to offer a mixture of lumpy and flat for a more prolonged form of extreme pain. Results from this will form part of the Inter Club series so do your best to come along and represent your club.
This is a come along and sign on event, rather than pre-entry.
Details of the HQ (post code LA12 9HT) and course can be found here, or by going via:
http://www.barrowcentralwhs.org.uk/
First rider goes off at 19:01 and sign on starts at 18:00.
Please arrive in good time to get parked (Leisure centre car park or on Priory Road North nearby).
Signing on closes at 18:45ish to allow the timekeeper to get to the start. The really fast riders do this course in around 50 minutes (the course record of 48:39 was set two years ago by Barrow CW's Oliver McKenna). If you think you’re going to be a touch slower than that it might be wise to sign on early to ensure an earlier start time.
Hope to see you there.

Then second, a week today - but not part of the hilly series (probably because it's too flat!) - there's an Inter-club 25 mile time trial on Levens.Lancaster CC | 1069 points |
Kent Valley RC | 775 points |
Lakes RC | 474 points |
Barrow CW | 172 points |
Lune RCC | 120 points |
Andrew notes that "at the half-way point and with both Lancaster CC’s events completed, they are now leading the table by nearly 300 points with 4 events to go."
But it'll be interesting to see how the table looks after tonight's Ulverston/Barrow/Ulverston event! We'll get the results from that, along with updated Inter-club standings, up here as soon as possible.
Thanks to Series organiser Andrew Barlow for all his hard work in making this happen.
