Tour of Britain Run to Gun Hill
The organisers had once again added the Stoke on Trent stage to the Tour of Britain calendar and it would have been rude to have not ventured along. Last year only 5 of the Weaver Valley ventured to top of Gun Hill but with Wiggins & Cav fever still in the air a big group […]

TLI5
A warm evening and fast racing tonight. John Keen finished safely in the bunch in his race. Alan won his race easily – or it looked easy to me. He rode on his own for the last 2.5 laps – particularly harsh, as this was one lap too many, due to an oversight from some bloke called […]
TLI4
Here we all are, lined up before the race – nerves jangling, adrenalin pumping. A few WVCC riders in evidence – Kev, Nick B, Carol, John Keen, Julian, Andy Newby, Richard Munro, Mark Thompson and me – with Alan and Tim marshalling this week. A good race was had by all. Our race (Carol, Mark and I […]
TLI 2
Only four laps tonight, because of the gloom – even at 6 p.m. cars had their lights on. I for one was pleased about this decision! Anyway the rain held off, the roads were reasonably dry, temperatures remained marginally above freezing, and all the races went off without incident. Only a few WVCC riders out […]
TLI 1
Well as you can see from the photo (for which thanks – or in my case no thanks! – to John Keen) – Carol was out for a gentle cruise, whilst I was doing some serious suffering – funny that, given that we were both riding in the same race! It was a clear dry evening […]

Club Cyclo Cross Sun 6 Nov
A record field of 144 riders made it a cyclo cross to remember on a perfct autumn day, firm on the Greenbank playing field but much heavier and slippery in the woods. Tom Armstrong – Herbalife/Wheelbase was close to the head of affairs from the gun with stiff competition early in the race from Giles […]
TLI 3
Great racing in the over 50s and 60s group – Nick got into a break with 6 or 7 riders (all from the over 50s group) and worked really hard, coming in a well deserved 3rd – Alan waited and watched his own age group, who formed a second break – Alan won the sprint, […]
TLI races at Lower Withington – to ride
Lots of WVCC members of both the “riding” (trying not to get dropped) and the “racing” (trying to win) species out today. I was riding (certainly not racing) in the over 50s and 60s group and it was HORRIBLE, it seemed much faster than last year – whether it was, or whether I’m just less […]
