Today was the Manchester District 25 mile championship and as has been the trend this season to date, it was massively oversubscribed with getting on for 200 entries for 120 places. Fortunately the event was a preference to Manchester DC riders so all of the returned entries were people from other areas. Weaver Valley had […]

Club 10’s – Guardian Cup Round 1 – 10th
Last night saw the start of the Season long club 10’s and this Year the format of the series has changed slightly. Previously the series was a handicap competition with points gained in each riders’ 5 best rides counting towards their final score in the Guardian Cup. However there are 10 rounds in total so […]
Dukinfield CC 50 – 6th May 2017
This first 50 of the Year in Cheshire has an amazing history. It has been held every Year since 1928 and the Dukinfield Cyclists’ Club which is one of the oldest clubs in Britain was already 43 years old that year. That first event was won by W.Ward of the Stretford Wheelers with a time […]
WVCC Club 10s – Practice 10 – 3rd May 20
Wow was it windy tonight!! A tough night for all, with an unusual head wind off the start and indeed all the way to Toft and the turn back into Middlewich Road for the last 3.something miles! Tonight was about a solo practice and for setting a handicap time for this year’s 10s (unless you […]
M&DLCA & East Lancs RC 10’s – 29th April
Due to popular demand (from Jim Duffy as he hates writing reports), I am posting my first TT report of the Year. Jim posted the others because this year I started racing much later than usual due to various holidays and annoying things like work getting in the way of my cycling. The afternoon started […]
WVCC Club 10s – Gents 2-Up – 26th April
A windy night, but at least it was dry! There was a dark cloud looming in the sky, but it looked as though we’d avoid it bar the odd spot of precipitation. Seven pairs lined up and four solo riders, and thus, this year’s club 10s began… Results below. Next week, the setting of handicaps […]
Mid Shropshire Wheelers 25 . 16/4/17
Well, last time I raced over these roads it was in the WCTTA 12hr event in August..Oh what a difference 6 months can make.. It was a early start for the WVCC boys [there were just 2 of us to face the timekeeper] as I was picking Andy Wooley up in Weaverham at 0700. Bikes […]
VTTA National Championship 10 mile TT
Manchester and NW hosted the VTTA [Veterans Time Trial Association] National Championship 10 mile TT , on the J2/1, Months Heath to Knutsford Road. It was interesting that I could hear many woeful complaints after riders had finished, about the ‘sporting nature of the course’ and the’ very rough road surface’.. people came from all […]
WVCC Cat & Fiddle Hill Climb 2016
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 […]
Stone Wheelers 25 – 10th September 2016
Time triallists talk about “Float days” which come along very rarely but when they do it just feels fast in all directions. Today was such a day and those who were lucky enough to ride made the most of it as the J5/8 course at Blythe Bridge is the quickest one in the area and […]
A soggy, windy Withington Wheelers 10TT
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
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 […]
