Reading Time: < 1 minuteA 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
Reading Time: 2 minutesWell, 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
Reading Time: < 1 minuteManchester 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
Reading Time: 2 minutesNice 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
Reading Time: 2 minutesTime 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
Reading Time: 3 minutesMy 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 minutesIt’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 minutesSo, 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 minutesIt 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 minutesBright 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 minuteA 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 minutesI 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 […]
