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 […]
Warrington R.C. 50 – 28/05/2016
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA quick report on today’s local open TT. 3 WVCC riders started but sadly only 2 finished as Caroline Fearon retired at 34 miles but will be back for more next week. Second quickest in our colours was Alan Shuttleworth riding fixed wheel and he was happy with his time of 2:31:24. Alistair Stanway was […]
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 […]
Leigh Premier RC 10 – 22nd May 2016
Reading Time: < 1 minuteToday Caroline and Dave Fearon rode their second time trial of the weekend following on from the 25 yesterday. The event was supposed to be a 25 but road works forced the organiser to reduce it to a 10 using the D10/1 course at Rainford. The weather was much more settled today which was just […]
Stone Wheelers 25 – 21st May 2016
Reading Time: 2 minutesToday was the first outing on the rarely used but fast 25 mile course at Blythe Bridge, along the A50 dual carriageway. The day didn’t look promising with heavy rain forecast all afternoon which usually means a cancellation of the event for safety reasons. We had an impressive 11 WVCC entries plus Carl Ruebotham who […]
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 […]
A fast day on the hill – WVCC ‘Cat & Fid
Reading Time: 3 minutesThanks must go out to all who helped in organising and running this year, and to all riders who enjoyed a clear and fast day this time round! Only 11 riders came off the start line before rider 12, Peter Tadros set the bar very high with a 20:00.2 ride (which gave him the Vets […]
