Club 10 23.5.19

Much tougher night than 2 weeks ago with a moderate Westerly making the mid section hard. Expected roadworks didnt appear and the rain cleared up just in time.

The youngsters turned up in force for a pre GHS course recce (the big event is in 4 weeks time) so there were lots of new riders. Keiron Mutch looks to be the rider to beat currently.

Only 2 PBs this week, for Vicky Gibbs taking nearly a minute off her previous best and David Linsley 19 seconds to the good of his PB.

Tim Nichol keeps up his attendance record and matches his PB too. 

New riders are as follows - Ethan Richards,Max Lutz-Atkinson,Chris Smith,Maddy Hall (I was sure she`d ridden before?),Archie Murdoch,Jen McMahon,Adam,Bradford,Harris Hall,Justine Norman,Neil Clarkson,Nicola McCoy and Jonathan Richards who DNF`d after his son told him he needed to ride past Kirkley Farm!

We had two 2-ups this week, Lewis Timmins and Gemma Frost did a 23:34 and Graham Crammond and Paul Bernadelli did a 24:48.

Club 10 9.5.19

Sorry about the delay but here`s the results for the first 10 of this year.

Good conditions and some winter training have lead to 7 PBs on the night, for Mark Whaley, Kyle Spence Gary Burnie and Martin Rasmussen with Hedley Fletcher doing his second ride and beating his first at our club events and big progress for Daniel Dixon, taking his PB from 23:55 to 22:16 and Lewis Wake winning with a 22:01, knocking 4 mins and 3 seconds from his previous best!

Matty Wells would surely have PBd if he hadnt sold his TT bike, with a creditable 23:54 on his road bike.

Tim Nichol gets the attendance award - he hasnt missed a 10 since June 16.

New riders welcomed are Phillip Kennell, Jason Ratcliffe, Chris Healy and Paul Scaplehorn.

Vags Hill Climb 2018 (remember that?)

Sorry for the severe delay in compiling the results of the 2018 Vags Hill Climb which took place nearly 2 months ago at Sandhoe on the morning of 22 January. 

There was an excellent turn out of spectators but only a brave few actually took to the slopes. The conditions were good for the course with only a fine covering of sand and debris on the road and almost dry which saved some spinning out of back wheels. 

This was the year of the Tandem competition - 40% of all participants, and well worth it as everyone got the course record, Charlotte and Roger taking it first with a 5.00 and Miriam and Jon B pushing it back to 4.13 five minutes later. They think there`s more to come with the right gears - definately no spinning those pedals with the cogs available on the day.

There were some notable efforts as befits a hill climb, with Paul Crotty for one, disappearing around the corner after the finish making some rather worrying gasping sounds and not sure himself if he would ever take a breath again. Thankfully he reappeared after a couple of minutes and appeared to have regained his composure. 100+% for effort and a well deserved podium

Honours on the day went to Chris Bartram with a 3.02 with Peter Graves in second on 3.13 and Pauls 3.54 completing the honours.

First and only solo lady and this years womens champion was Sue Thorn with a 4.07.

Gary Burnie and Peter Brock completed the finishers with 4.01 and 4.16 respectively.

Roger and Charlotte would like to credit their warm up lap boost to the angry dog which inspired their mid climb surge.
