Ras Ffordd Llandyrnog Organised by the Ruthin CC on a rolling, triangular circuit near Ruthin and Denbigh, the weather was mild and dry but there was a strong headwind on the course, at the end of 4 laps there was a steady grind of a hill up to the finish. The race about 37 miles […]
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 […]
Stone Wheelers Swynnerton RR
Lining up today were Sam, me, 2nd race Richard and newbie Alex all eager to get stuck in to the fast, flat closed road circuit. The race was run as a handicap & due to numbers I went in to the first group, we had about about 4.15 mins over the chasing group for a […]

All Points North 2023
All Points North (APN) caught my eye a couple of years ago. A 1,000km self-supported cycling ultra. 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 […]

Much better weather than previous week resulted in 15 entrants , 7 of which recorded PB’s on the night.

Those offering excuses about a tough ride at the weekend hampering performance will no doubt be found […]
