Club 10 Mile Championship – 12th July 20
Reading Time: 2 minutes As it is the shortest fixed distance the 10 is usually the most popular and therefore the most hotly contested of our championships. Last night there were a lot of missing faces but nevertheless we still had 13 Weaver Valley riders and this was supplemented by 8 riders from other clubs. My old club the […]

Reading Time: < 1 minute A clear, sunny and warm evening with barely a whiff of a breeze was almost perfect for some fast times. Indeed, despite some pre-race excuses, Jim Duffy stormed around the course for a mid 22, whilst others had the cup in their sights, determined to grab valuable seconds to convert to points.

Guardian Cup and Scratch 10s results aft...
Reading Time: < 1 minute More controversial than Peter Sagan’s elbow, there have had to be some adjustments to the overall and cumulative points standings due to an error in recording the PBs from last year.

Guardian Cup Round 6 – 28th June 2017
Reading Time: < 1 minute I think the drizzle put a few people off last week as we only had a turnout of 9 riders and just 7 from the club. However those lucky few who did ride gained some great points towards the Guardian Cup and the new 10 mile scratch series trophy. Jim Williams also started but hit […]
Team Swift 10 (Slower Than 21.00 But Fas...
Reading Time: 3 minutes In September last year, I managed to scrape an entry on the fastest 10 mile TT course in the country, the V718 in Hull. On the morning of the event, the weather was terrible and forecast to rain all day, I decided not to make the 5 hr round trip, gambling on them cancelling the […]

Anfield 100 – 29th May 2017
Reading Time: 4 minutes First of all, I would like to apologise to Dave Fearon, I used to complain about the length of his reports, and now I am just as bad, if not probably worse! I am even in danger of boring myself, let alone you lot!!😩 In preparation for this ride, having never ridden the Anfield 100 […]
