WVCC Cat & Fiddle Hill Climb 2016
Reading Time: 2 minutes Nice day for a hill climb. The sun was out, the wind was light, and riders gathered early, eager to sign on and get prepared for the ride. Even from the start riders, it looked to be a reasonably fast day, and there was an air of competitive spirit that saw the faster riders battle […]
Helpers required – WVCC Hill Climb 2016
Reading Time: < 1 minute Our Club Championship & open hill climb event is fast approaching, and, as race organiser, I need YOU, the club members to give me hand with running it. There is no club run this Sunday, so – club members – if you aren’t busy, or on holiday(!), I’d really appreciate your help. I don’t need everybody, […]
A soggy, windy Withington Wheelers 10TT
Reading Time: 3 minutes My primary thoughts when getting ready for the ten today were whether I should take the dog with me for a change or not, as I was worrying that with it being stuffy I’d come back to a Baked Bodi. I decided in the end that it was cloudy and cool enough so off we […]
WVCC Club Championship 12 Hour – 21st Au
Reading Time: 7 minutes It’s funny how these things come about as all 3 riders who entered the 12 hour this Year didn’t have it on their radar until very recently. Jim’s amazing 24 hour epic was definitely the catalyst, so thanks for that Jim (not)! I asked Jim a while ago if he was going to make the most […]
The Guardian Cup 2016 & The Final Fling
Reading Time: 2 minutes So, who won? Well, if you have been following the results trend over the last few weeks, you’ll have seen that Dave Wilkinson has been improving steadily over the year, enabling him to maximise his points. By last week, only Rich Munro could get near. This was not to be though, as Dave did enough, […]
WVCC Club 10s – Guardian Cup Round 10 –
Reading Time: 2 minutes It was a drizzly night, yet 15 intrepid riders came out, with some to see if they could improve their overall placings in the Guardian Cup. In reach of the trophy were series leader Dave Wilkinson, and Rich Munro – in grabbing distance of the prize. This is where the drama started, as Rich had […]
WVCC Open 25 Mile Time Trial – 6th Augus
Reading Time: 2 minutes Bright sunshine, a strong field and a healthy number of club volunteers meant that this looked like it would be a good, and potentially fast day. As the day started, and the first results came in, we weren’t waiting long till Lee Winslow of Wills Wheels CC stormed over the line with a 59:03, but soon followed […]
WVCC Club 10s – Guardian Cup Round 9 – 3
Reading Time: < 1 minute A massively windy, gusty night only brought 11 entrants to this evening’s 10, and with time running out in the Guardian Cup series, there was a feeling of ‘nothing to lose, everything to gain’ with the determined faces at the start line. Some riders will have benefited from the tail wind on parts of the […]
My 24 hour TT – a box ticked.
Reading Time: 10 minutes I am sorry for this lengthy tome, I was intending to keep it short but…so if you read these ramblings, sit down with a coffee, you’ll need it to stay awake! How do I start to recount the ride of my 1st [and possibly only 24hr TT] especially when, a] Dave Fearon has given a […]
Pendle Forest L015 10 – 30th July 2016
Reading Time: 3 minutes I do not generally enter many open 10’s, indeed the last one I entered was March 14, however, inspired by Jim Williams performance in Hull a few weeks back, and my wish to obtain a sub 22:30 to obtain the senior gold standard, I entered this a few weeks back. As It happens, I actually […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute Open 25 mile Time Trial 2pm on Saturday 6th August 2015. HQ: Cranage Village Hall. Hi all, 1st call for marshals and helpers for our open 25 time trial. We need 25+ for the event to cover: junction marshals, timekeeper assistants, refreshments, signing on results etc, …so basically the more offers of help the better! […]
