Yet another cracking night with several PB’s. Quickest man was Paul Connor with a his first of many 25mph rides recording 23:49. Emily also stepped up another gear tonight on her meteoric rise to stardom with a stonking 24:40 for 2nd quickest overall out of 24 riders. Emily will go well under the hour for […]
A great turnout for the 10 this week on a sunny but cool evening. Good to see a few new (and some old), faces setting benchmark times for the Guardian cup including: Rob Dacey, Darren Johnson, Luke Curbishley, Colin Latter, Carl Hitchenson and most notably 15 year old Sam Jones. Your rides from next week […]
Members were clearly put off by the rain that started early evening on Wednesday as only 7 riders took part. Shame as it stopped raining for the event so everybody who did ride got away with it. Incidentally skin is waterproof (says he who also didn’t ride)! Roadworks on the A50 forced a change to […]
A very windy night produced some surprisingly good times on Wednesday. Regulars will know that a strong wind directly behind on Penny’s Lane is a good sign as you get a 2 mile kick start followed by mostly cross winds, with very little head wind. We had a few first time riders and all went […]
Wednesday saw the start of our popular club 10’s on the Lach Dennis course. The weather was cool with showers scudding across the skies but fortunately skirting around the course on either side. 18 riders supported the event, some riding solo and others as pairs. The winning pair was Steve Malkin & Paul Connor […]
Not to 25 as it turned out. The Withington Wheelers 25 was, at the last minute, shortened to a 10, due to roadworks at the Ollerton crossroads, complete with temporary traffic lights. Nevertheless, a TT was held, and we had 2 of our riders out today. Andy Milligan, who consistently batters out excellent times, was opening […]
Finally found some time to write a blog about my fifty miler TT at the weekend… So, in an effort to keep my much loved ladies BAR trophy I knew I needed to complete a 50 this year – a distance I always dread because it feels like a forever sat in a TT position. […]
I got up about 6am for the Harry Middleton Road race 2/3/4 at Pimbo in skelmersdale just to make sure I was awake and all my gear was in order. I got to the HQ (social club) at 7.45am and I can tell you the club was like a throw back to the 80’s […]
Pop on the kettle as this could be a long one! This year the annual local 12 hour and our club championship attracted just one entrant from the WVCC, as is often the case in this challenging event. Alistair Stanway was 2nd counter in the team record breaking trio last Year and this year he […]
Where: Holt/Farndon When: today 20th August 2017 conditions: Cool to warm There were three riders from the Weaver Valley who competed in the National Road Race championships today Kevin underhill in the e/d/f race and John keen and Tony Booth in the c/d race. After […]
Well, a tougher night than we’ve had in a few weeks greeted the riders who were contesting the Final Fling, the overall Scratch, and most importantly, the Guardian Cup. Before this last round, Paul Connor found himself leading by a single point ahead of Tony Booth. tonight, it was an all out battle to improve […]
It couldn’t get more exciting with just 1 round to go in this year’s club time trial championships. The Guardian Cup is now hotly contested, with Paul Connor now only 1 point ahead of Tony Booth after spending most of the season way ahead. But, as more riders get to riding the maximum of 7 […]
As a club, we’d like to wish Andrew Simpson @simmo_on_sport all the best for the future, with a heartfelt thanks for supporting WVCC all these years....
