TT report – w/e 15th August

I’m sat by the Bat phone waiting for the results to come in. So far we have…

Midweek
Nowt

Saturday
Peter Dixon rode the Kings Lynn CC ’25’ on the B25/33 and did a 58:31 for a fine fourth place. The event was won by Basil Moss (Cambridge CC) in 56:42.

Sunday
I rode the Bedfordshire Roads CC ’25’ on the F1b/25 and recorded a 1:2:47. The winner was Matt Bottrill (i-Ride.co.uk) on 50:52.

EDIT: Joe Foley rode the Reading CC ’25’ at Aldermaston (H25/1) and recorded a 1:13:04. Fastest was Steve Golla (Sigma Sport) with a 54:41.

Coming up…
Don’t forget the Minet Ladies CC charity ride this Friday and the Track Championships on Saturday.

Saturday 4th September there’s a S Bucks RC club ’10’ on the Maidenhead Thicket course (H10/2) starting at 9am.

Sunday 5th sees the resumption of the West London Combine programme. Bath Road Club are the organisers for a 2-up or solo ’25’ on the Great Missenden course (HCC114). I think Peter Dixon is looking for a new partner this year. Entries are via me (lance (at) lancewoodman (dot) co (dot) uk). Please let me know if you want to ride ASAP – remember to let me have your fastest ’25’ time since 1/1/ 2007.

June Smith

From Gladys…

You can see her in action at www.photographer-manchester.uk.com. June’s other claims to fame include having been given one of Dave Millar’s yellow jerseys and massaging Roger Hammond’s legs.

Tom pipped on the line – just

Tom London was second in tonight’s 4th cat circuit race at Hillingdon Circuit. On a rain-drenched night he attacked with a lap to go and only one rider got back to him in the last few metres. Tom reckons there was half a wheel in it on the line.
The points gained earned Tom his third category licence. It’ll be good to see him riding with the rest of the Squadra in the E123 race next week.
In the same race Lance Woodman came nowhere. Again.

Sunday

Jayne wins European Silver (again)

Jayne Paine recorded two lifetime bests on her way to a second Silver medal in the European Master Championships at Manchester Velodrome yesterday.

Her bloke posted the following report on Facebook:

She rode a damn near perfect race, but just didn’t quite have enough at the end. She and Janet Birkmyre both rode PBs in really good times. Jayne knocked half a second off her PB in qualifying, then took another second and a half off that in the final. Close, but no cigar, I’m afraid – she missed out on gold by 7/10 of a second. Gutting. But very impressive.

Well done, Jayne.

TT report – w/e 1st August 2010

Quite a few people have hung up their TT wheels for the season, but a hardened core are keeping going and garnering some the results…

Midweek
Nowt

Saturday
Tony FlynnGill Reynolds and I rode the Charlotteville CC ’10’ on the H10/8 (Bentley). It was a breezy day which made the journey to the turn very hard. The last couple of miles were great though. Tony recorded a 25:13, Gill a 26:02 and I did a 24:36. The winner was Stephen Whitewick (Utag Yamaha.com) with a 20:25.

Sunday
I was the only WCC rider entered for the West London CA ’25’ on the Marlow ski slope course (H25/2). Unlike the day before it was a still, cool day with perhaps a tailwind finish. I recorded a 59:50 – first time ‘under’ since August 1980. The winner was Adam Topham (High Wycombe CC) in 51:26.

Coming up…
Saturday 21st August is down as the WCC Track Championships at Welwyn. There’s also a North Hants RC ’25’ on the H25/8.

Sunday 22nd: there’s an Oxonian CC ’50’ on the H50/17 and a North Middlesex and Herts CA ’25’ on the F10/25. There’s also the ECCA 12 hour on the E2 if you feel like a longer day out.
