Reading Time: < 1 minuteAfter a rainy day, it looks like the few riders that took to the course picked a break in an otherwise wet and windy day. Some times meant big things this evening though, as Dave Fearon romped ahead to clinch the fastest time of the evening, followed by a pre-washed Jim from the Mersey Ferry […]

WVCC Club 10s – Guardian Cup Round 5 – 1
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe weather has been pretty unpredictable in terms of when the rain is going to come down, so I didn’t expect a large turnout this evening. Clearly, there are many eyes on the Cup this year, as we had a total of 25 (19 club) riders turn up to take their chances. Fortunately, as with […]
WVCC Club (nearly*) 10(s) – 2 up and tan
Reading Time: < 1 minuteIt appeared that the slight change in climatic conditions with sporadic heavy showers punctuating the sweltering heat, gave rise to what is sometimes deemed in time trialling terms as a ‘floater'(!) Perhaps perfect conditions for some excellent times. In some respects, it’s a shame that this wasn’t Guardian Cup round 5, as there would have been […]
WVCC Club 10s – Guardian Cup Round 4 – 1
Reading Time: 2 minutesA difficult evening to read as the riders turned up to sign on tonight. A bit heavy perhaps, but a cross-tailwind start, and even a bit of a tail-finish. This of course meant that there would be a headwind on the A50. Never good. Nevertheless, 24 riders started, hoping to snatch at least a second […]
WVCC Club 10s – Guardian Cup Round 3 – 2
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWell, another change in the weather. Who could have thought? A heavy, damp and drizzly night reduced the willing field to 17 riders this evening. It was going to be a case of gritting your teeth, and just getting on with it, to hope not to lose too much time from your target PB! This was […]
WVCC Club 10s – Guardian Cup Round 2 – 1
Reading Time: 2 minutesA slightly more pleasant evening this week as the wind was a little more favourable, with a tailwind start, and a cross wind on the A50, but it’s never easier, you just go faster or push yourself harder! Fast men tonight were those flying into the 23s, with Jacob Booth from Team Bikehaus taking the […]
WVCC Club 10s – Guardian Cup Round 1 – 1
Reading Time: < 1 minuteIn stark difference to the week before, the weather was dry but the wind was in an entirely different direction. This made for a very hard night for most, and there weren’t many who were gaining time on the night, with a crosswind off the start, and a headwind along the A50 for what seemed like […]
Club 10s – Practice 10 – 04/05/2016
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhat a beautiful night for hurting yourself on a club TT! None of the hailstone and changeable weather of last week, just sunshine, and a breeze to help you along the A50, (but against you on the way home). 29 riders came out to test their mettle and some very good times were recorded. The […]
Club 10s – Gents 2 up 27/04/2016
Reading Time: 3 minutesHay-ho, the wind and the rain, and the hail and another three season day… The first club TT of the season is always a bit of fun. Loads of early season anticipation, and an ideal time to ride a two-up time trial and ease yourself into the race of truth! We were joined by Robbi Unwin this […]
Final Fling 2015 – Results
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA damp and dark night met the 11 brave souls who turned up for the last club 10 of this year. Times in the main were generally slower, and conditions were not ideal as showers of rain blew across the course, hampering efforts to post the fastest of times. Lee, with appropriate grimace, buckled down […]
Guardian Cup 2015 – The Final Results!!
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWell, after the waiting, the results were announced in the Crown Inn this evening, and are now available world media distribution! The winner, Matt Sayle, took a four point lead in the final round last week – 122 points as his total, to snatch the Guardian Cup from second place – Jimmy Williams with 118. […]
Club 10s – Guardian Cup Round 10 – 12th
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhat an exciting evening. At the finish line, the tension was palpable, as the clear and nigh on perfect evening for time-trialling got underway! The riders soon approached, and as they came past, it was clear that the top boys were gunning for the top prize of the Guardian Cup 2015! No less than 7 […]
