Glenn Longland "Mule Bar" 2 Day Downton Classic

Stephen Whitewick (G A Cycles) won the fifteenth edition of the Glenn Longland 2 day at Downton in Hampshire. Whitewick had entered the New Forest Brewery 10 but not early enough, so his entry was returned. Undeterred, Whitewick signed on for some unacustomed road racing, albiet weighted towards the testers.

Will Stephenson (Bournemouth Arrow/Hotel Collingwood) added to his impressive palmares this season by winning the opening 2.4 mile prologue. Stephenson climbed Botley down in 4.04 to win the opening stage by 6 seconds from Tim Wallis (Southampton Uni), Andy Bryson (Cannodale Racing) claimed third , a further 4 seconds back.

The following 42km handicap road race was won by Tony Kiss (Stratford CC) after a frantic chase across the heathland roads of the New Forest.

Wallis held off Stephenson for second place. The Bournemouth Arrow Junior held a slender 6 second lead on GC at the end of stage 2, Whitewick finished in the bunch without losing time and was licking his lips at the thought of the following day's 37km TT. Guesting for G A Cycles, the utag-yamaha rider has had a very good year, a bronze medal in the National 100 but 8th place in the National 10 gives Whitewick most satisfaction, and there is "more to come"

The predictable course record ride the following morning on the sporting 37km route, saw whitewick take his final win of the year. Harry Bulstrode (Cannondale Racing) took second place and overtook Stephenson in the general classification. It was another impressive performance from the 17 year old, 1st on stage 1 & 3rd on stages 2&3, confirming his promise.

Multi-National time trial champion Glenn Longland puts on a great little race with a great atmosphere that keeps people coming back year after year.

Local Cycling News/ Weekly round up

Shaun Amor (UK Biking) won race 3 in the Moreton Evening series. A field of 49 lined up for the 30 mile race on the fast flat circuit. The small scratch group failed to catch the supposedly slower groups in front leaving the race wide open. A crash on the final run in to the finish brought down a dozen or so riders. Nothing too serious, mostly road rash. Dave Hicks (BJW) was taken to Dorchester Hospital in an ambulance and treated for facial injuries, and later released.

Hicks likes the rough stuff!


Dave commented “Because the scratch group never caught us, the race was not stretched out enough on the last lap; it was too congested in the home straight. A rider came across from my left and clipped my front wheel. This obviously resulted in the crash. I hit the road head first, very quickly. Someone said riders went over me but I don’t remember” Shaun Amor avoided the carnage behind to take his first win on the road, much to the delight of the small UK BIKING team. First round winner, Bryce Riglar (cc WEYMOUTH) and Rob Koppenhol (DRR) took second & third place.

Luke Gray (Hargroves Cycles) took a solo victory in round 4 of the 13 week series. Attacking with just over a mile to go, Gray quickly got a gap. The bunch hesitated and with teammates Jason Eastwood and Stuart Bowers policing things, Gray was never challenged. Fifty riders had started in bright evening sunshine, going off in four handicap groups. The scratch group had brought the race together with four 3 mile laps left and no one was going anywhere. As everyone one settled down for the expected sprint Gray seized his chance. The National U23 Cyclo-Cross Champion is in good form as he concentrates on the road this summer and is hoping to move to the Continent later in the season. Stuart Bowers commented; Its the best place to get away, in the lane, before the main road, if you have a bit of cornering speed you've got 10 metres on everyone, i knew he was going to stay away" Will Stenphenson (Bournemouth Arrow/Hotel Collingwood) was riding strongly but punctured, he rejoined th race and got involved in the sprint for the minor placings.

The sprint for 2nd & 3rd
Jason Eastwood (Hargroves Cycles) won the sprint for 2nd with Julian Thacker (VC ST RAPHAEL) 3RD. Stuart Bowers was originally placed 3rd giving the Hargroves team a clean sweep but photographs later showed Thacker had edged it.
Brief Result Round 4 Moreton 2/6/11

1, Luke Gray (Hargroves Cycles)
2, Jason Eastwood (Hargroves Cycles)
3, Julian Thacker (VC ST Raphael)
4, Stuart Bowers (Hargroves Cycles

Luke Gray wins alone at Moreton!

• Steven Whitewick (UTAG-YAMAHA) set a new course record for the 32 mile New Forest Time Trial. Whitewick flew round the sporting course in 1.11.15 to win by 2 minutes from Russell Kober (Hainault RC). Ringwood based triathlete, James Gilfillan (Team Feat) rode well to finish in third spot. Newly crowned National 10 mile Champion, Julia Shaw (Drag2Zero) won the ladies race and placed 8th overall. This weekend Shaw defends her title at the 25 mile distance. Shaw is the favourite to win the Blue Riband event.
Andy Bryson (Sotonia cc, in his first year of time trialling, rode well to finish 5th with 1.16.37, on the sporting New Forest course.

Ellie Gilham has been selected to represent England South in the inter regional road race championships in early July. Ellie has been in good form this year consistently placing at the Mountbatten circuit races in Portsmouth and she recently popped up at Moreton where she looked very comfortable in the bunch. Ellie was disappointed to find out the Championships were in Perth ,Scotland, not Perth, Australia!

• Mountain Bike Racing returns to Crow Hill, Ringwood this weekend. The third round of the Southern XC series includes racing for all categories. First race is off at 09.45. Mark Chadbourne (Ridebike.co.uk) is hoping to challenge both Darren Shepherd (Primera) & Paul Hopkins (Merida) "I am over a recent chest infection and have got my strenghth back"

New Forest 32

Steven Whitewick (UTAG-YAMAHA) took 1 min 34 secs off Steve Walkings 6 year old course record to win the Circuit of the New Forest Time Trial. Whitewick, who placed 8th in last weeks National 10, produced a storming ride on a less than perfect day. A strong south westerly wind blew the riders out to Lymington and across Beaulieu Heath. However as they turned onto the A35 at Lyndhurst they felt the true strength of this cruel wind, that seems to have blown away May on the south coast. Of course the fast men never seem to suffer like the rest and Whitewick was scything his way through the field. His time of 1.11.15 was over two minutes quicker than second place Russell Kober (Hainault RC) with World age group triathlon Champion, James Gilfillan (Team feat) third with 1.15.20. Whitewicks teammate Julian Jenkinson was a non starter, having ridden and won the Manchester Wheelers 50 the previous afternoon with a 1.43.15

Julia Shaw (Drag2Zero.com) was off last in the 44 strong field, a nod of respect to the Commonwealth Games Bronze Medalist. Fresh from her gold medal winning ride in the National 10, Shaw was over a minute quicker than her time last year, 1.16.57 putting her in the top ten.

Russell Kober

James Gilfillan


What they said:
Stephen Whitewick, "I had my eye on Steve's course record, i took a couple of time checks and was going well so i knew it would be close. I was really pleased with my ride in the 10, i am doing every national championship, up to the 100, i struggle with the 100, not the physical side, i like to ride fast, i like the intensity of the shorter stuff, i like the feeling of nearly getting a heart attack i like that sort of buzz. With the 100 you sit there for 2 and half hours and wait for the fatigue to set in " I will also ride the Time Trial Champs and maybe next year the Rudy Project, i love those courses, technical, got to think about it a bit, some horrible dead junctions, it feels like you are actually riding your bike"

Julia Shaw: "I have done lots of tens,going into the National 10, it was quite a bit different today, i felt better than i thought i would, i am about 1.40 quicker than last year so i am quite happy with that really. I did go off too hard today but it felt really easy with the tail wind. I kept telling myself to slow down as i knew the last section was into a headwind. My legs were falling apart a bit on the last stretch"

Bright sunshine on the south coast greeted the 70 strong field for the B&DCA 25. However thoughts of a float day were soon blown away by a stiff breeze that never seemed to be on the rider’s backs. Scratch man Steven Whitewick (UTAG-YAMAHA) kept his powder dry and failed to trouble the start timekeeper. Simon Tout (VC ST Raphael) took advantage of Whitewicks DNS to win the event with a 55.10, 1.36 clear of Ray Hughes (Clarence WH), 56.46, with Paul Matthews (Utag-Yamaha) third w

with 57.05. Leading lady was Rachel McGranaghan, (VC ST Raphael), 1.07.39.

• Poole-Based mountain biker, Sally Bigham (Topeak-Ergon) has just returned home after a hectic few weeks travelling and racing. A year’s sabbatical from her Bournemouth University job, has given her the time to concentrate on cycling, and the extra training time is starting to pay dividends. Bigham, with Karien Van Jaarsveld, recently won the Cape Epic stage race in South Africa and followed up that victory with second place at the Rocky Mountain Bike Marathon at Riva Del Garda, Italy. The 105 KM course included 3561 meters of climbing with lots of technical descents, made tricky after a few days rain. Sally loves this race and after missing out last year due to injury,was glad to be back. So glad in fact, she had been training in the Italian mountains the week before the event. Bigham was forced to give second best to the Finnish cyclist, Pia Sundstedt, who proved too strong on the long mountain climbs. Bigham’s time of 5hrs 7 was only 3 minutes behind the flying Finn.

She will now focus on the European and World Championships next month, “I am hoping to improve on my 7th & 8th placing’s last year. After that I will race the Trans Alp, an 8 day stage race in July. I will also be racing in other, big one day marathon events in Austria,Norway and France” Said Sally.

Weekly Round up 15/04/2011

• Daniel Lloyd (Garmin-Cervelo) has endured a rough ride at the start of his eighth season as a continental professional. Lloyd, who lives in Queens Park, had trained well over the winter and was looking forward to a good spring campaign. However, crashing on consecutive days in his first race, The Tour of Qatar, dented his morale and forced him off the bike for a few days. He was back in the saddle for the 8 day Paris-Nice race and rode himself into good form, earning selection for the one day classic, The Tour of Flanders. Unfortunately bad luck struck again and Lloyd crashed on a corner and was forced to retire from the race. Crashing is part of professional bike racing, so there will be no complaints from Daniel. Bad luck dogged the team at the Circuit de la Sarthe in France when thieves stole all of the days racing kit as it waited to be laundered. This weekend he is in Holland for the Amstel Gold race and will then be taking a short break, his wife, Lorraine is expecting there second son in Early May and Lloyd has been giving paternity leave.
• Will Stephenson (Bournemouth Arrow/Collingwood Hotel) also suffered bad luck in the junior tour of Bristol 2 day race. A crash halfway through Saturday’s flat road stage left Stephenson with a jammed chain, he chased for 10 miles but could not regain contact with the bunch. Will sat up and rode the last 35 miles on his own to try and save some energy for the following day, eventually losing some 11 minutes. Sunday’s stage included five 4km climbs and suited the Arrow rider much better as he stayed with the lead group and pulled back a lot of lost time. 11th on the stage and 32nd on overall GC “I would have been top 10 had I not crashed on the first day” said a rueful Stephenson. Richard Horton(Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers) also found the going tough, active on the first stage and away in two breaks, Horton did not have the legs when it mattered and Sunday proved a difficult day as he lost time on the hills and finished in 32nd place. Jordan Wade (Poole Wheelers) 59th, also struggled with the pace but gained some valuable experience.

• With Jubilee fast man Paul Jones, hoping for a float day at the ACME Wheelers 25 in Wales, this weekends EDCA 27KM Time Trial at Bere Regis looks to be a battle between Gary Dighton (Poole Wheelers) & Julian Thacker (VC st Raphael). Bryce Dyer (Vc ST Raphael) won on this course last year and cannot be counted out although by his own admission he does not like the hills, veteran Terry Icke (PW) is also expected to challenge. Race HQ is at Bere Regis Sports Club and start is at Gallows Hill, with the first rider off at 8.01am.

• Club time trials got underway this week; Bournemouth jubilee attracted 21 riders to Furzehill. With Nick Spencer winning in 24.49, Les Pick 25.12 and Luke Gray (Hargroves Cycles) 25.19. The New Forest cc had 43 sign on for the Ringwood –Sopley course Dan Ahearn (Cambridge Uni CC) 22.04, John Sibley (Utag-Yamaha) 22.55 and Gary Allen (GA Cycles) 23.08. Two up pairing Julian Jenkinson & Stephen Whitewick (Utag-Yamaha) clocked a speedy 21.02, to gain some revenge for their defeat to Ahearn the previous week. 23 entries for CC Weymouths 5, 1st Bryce Dyer (vc St Raphael) 9.46,Julian Thacker 10.28 & John Chapman (cc Weymouth)10.28. Poole Wheelers/Weesex RC were forced to cancel due to rain and poor visibility. Bournemouth Arrow, 23 riders, 1,Dan Ahearn (NFCC) 22.12, 2, Will Stephenson 23.48 3, Nick Spencer (BJW)23.50.
