WVCC Guardian Cup Round 12 – 26/7/2023
Well, that was a wet one, more helpers than riders say it all [it’s only a bit of wet you know!] Anyway 6 riders faced Ann and were rewarded with some high points scores as there were only members who rode. Did I say it was a bit damp? Sam Taylor was fastest with 24:17 […]
Bickerstaffe RR 20th July 2023
Super 4, Bickerstaffe RR Time and again I get too carried away with myself in races, doing too much, covering too much and not being there at the pointy end of the day. Slowly but surely I am learning… ish. It was a nice, dry evening yesterday although with a stiff breeze. Once the lead […]

WVCC 10m TT – 28/6/2023
Some seriously good pace judgement in this weeks 10. A non point scoring round with a Nearest the Bull competition ie an individuals actual time versus their predicted time without the benefit of a Garmin , Wahoo or other electronic device to pace. Double celebration for Stu Ward who recorded the fastest time for the […]

Riders were free to plan their own route around 10 checkpoints spread over the hills of Northern England, starting and finishing in Sheffield. I was attracted by the inclusive ethos of the event; a scroll of the APN […]
