Dorset Miles, Bear Cross Sunday Ride: In Celebration of Beer!

Only half a dozen at Bear Cross this morning (bring a note next week), on a murky day that was more winter than autumn. Obviously “The Bear Cross” then the “Rising Sun” and “The Green Man” the hanging baskets just a memory. Onto the Cowgrove, “The Vine” really is a public house. The ice is gone now but the water is still there, throwing up plenty of muck. Overtaking the CTC group could be the potterers, maybe the dawdlers? anyone on a tandem trike desreves respect. Right to “The true Lovers Knot” and the “Langton Arms”. Across the A354, “The Bugle Horn” is sadly no more. A long drag up through Stubhampton, across the top road and a fast, if slightly bumpy descent to “The Talbot” right, then quickly left brings us to “The Bakers Arms” and on to “The Royal Oak”. Belchawell lacks a pub but offers a road that goes up Bulbarrow hill, at 274 metres it’s the highest point in the county and of course its everyman for himself. A truce at the top before dropping fast down to “The Fox” at Ansty and then a bit of a grovel up past Milton abbey and the “Hambro Arms”. The descent is a joy, the road is slick but the extravagant curves cry out for speed. “The Milton Arms” and “The Greyhound” bring us to Red Post and “The Botany Bay” Its 12 noon, across Dorset bolts are being drawn back on oaken doors, pints of ale will slake thirsts and tales will get taller. A car waves across the busy A31, War? What War? The lanes are very muddy, West Morden really is little Belgium today and “The Worlds End” could be just that. A front wheel puncture climbing Lytchett deflates us all but still, the six smiling, muddy faces bore testament to the bike as therapy for the modern malaise! “The Chequers” gave its name to a road race now long gone, arms aloft straight into the bar. The six were now four and soon two; “The Willet Arms” and we are back where we started, left for a change and “The Kings Arms” and “The White Hart”. The “Horns” and “The Owls Nest” vie for the same custom and “The Curlew” also. Closer to home “The Catherine Wheel” is now a block of flats and The "Iford Bridge” is close but I am seldom tempted. “Time gentlemen please” 4hrs 13

National Trophy Cyclo-Cross Rnd 4!

Luke Gray rides & writes……….Sunday was round 4 of the National Trophy Series at Temple Park in South Shields. It's a very long drive for my Dad and I to get there so we travelled to the race on Saturday.
There was no course practise on the Saturday as there was a local league race being held at the same venue with a different course set out. When we arrived at Temple Park we managed to see the last lap of the race and it was very muddy with so frozen sections.

On Sunday morning I did a couple of practise laps of the course, it was a tricky course to learn because some of the corners were hard and frosty with almost no grip, while others were softer and muddy with more grip, but this even varied depending on which line you took around the corner. I choose to practise on mud tires because the sun would only soften the course.
The temperature was very close to 0 degrees if not below, but still the majority of riders chose to race in shorts, I was glad I choose to wear my legs warmers along with Pro MTB rider Oli Beckingsale (Endura MTB Racing) who also made a wise move. Later on the temperature dropped very quickly half way through the Elite race.

I didn't have the best of starts, I was fumbling a bit on my pedal and lost a bit of ground but past a good few riders later down the start straight once I was all clipped in and made up a few more in the early turns on this mainly flat grass course.

The pace seemed pretty fast on the first lap and I didn't make many more places up, I think I was sitting in about 7th or 8th. There were a lot of crashes early on that I saw, either down to bad tyre choice, or just because of the slippery frozen corners and of course just racing incidents. I managed to keep upright all race, although I would lose my front wheel a few times it was nothing a leg dab couldn't save. I steadily moved past riders and after about 20 - 25 minutes I found my rhythm and felt like I could ride harder. There were 6 riders in the group I was leading but only 4 riders a little way ahead. It was about this time I came in to the pits for a clean bike. Once on the fresh bike I pushed on hard and soon made gaps appeared in my group which whittled the group down to 3.

In the last 20 minutes the course was refreezing making the soft corners with grip now very slippery, and I had to be very careful of the now frozen tram lines appearing in the grass. The time was fast approaching 4.00 pm and the light was also beginning to dim. I was now riding with just two others, former Pro MTB rider Nick Craig (Team Scott UK) and Lewis Craven (Wheel base.co.uk). Lewis was just hanging onto the two of us and Nick would only pass me when I slowed up, but I wouldn't have been able to escape the two of them without a really big effort but I was still thinking about catching the riders ahead rather than fighting for 5th place.

When there was just two laps to go Nick was keen on taking the lead and applying some pressure in an attempt to break away from us, but I hung onto his wheel although Lewis lost contact somewhere around that lap. When Nick eased up or there was a passing place I took the lead and pressed on but we couldn't loose each other. The last lap was just a fight to drop each other; I knew where I'd have to use my sprint to take the lead because overtaking was very difficult near the finish. Nick who was leading at the time choose to use his sprint in exactly the same place as me, a long soft energy sapping grass section, I didn't get past to my surprise. But no matter as I managed to take a better line around a series of bends and accelerated out and passed him, after that Nick sat up and didn't attempt to out sprint me at the finish.

I finished 5th overall and 2nd under 23 behind Floris De Tier who won overall, last year he was my team mate in the Belguim Baboco Team.
It felt good to be back on the National Podium and for the second week running be the top British U23 rider. In the under 23 series Adam Martin took the Leaders green Jersey from Steve James who had one too many heavy crashes on the frozen course.

Dorset Miles: Bournemouth Jubilee 100km Reliability Trial

The Cowgrove is always the cyclist’s choice, a safe conduit between Wimborne Minster and Blandford Forum. A gateway to the hills and lanes of West & North Dorset. The pleasant, twisting route with the occasional rise and fall wins hands down, when the alternative is the B3082, Badbury Rings road. The downside of this well wheeled route is it floods; throw in sub- zero temperatures and it’s an ice rink. More than a few of the 89 starters in the 100km reliability trial came down. Some abandoned, some opted for the B3082, and some carried on with both feet unclipped. The gravel at the edges offered purchase but threatened punctures and two came in quick succession. By Shapwick though the drama was behind us and the remaining miles passed without incident. The climb up from Winterborne Stickland is a conversation stopper and goes on and on it seems. The reward though is the descent through Milton Abbas and with practically no wind it was turning into a perfect winter's day. Flooding at Milborne St Andrew, the spray was cold on the face, then on to Briantspudddle and Bovington camp. Over the level crossing at Wool, the road across to Coombe Keynes & East Lulworth always asks some questions and the climb up above Cocknowle is steep but short. Corfe Castle makes you look up but turning left it is soon behind us. A good tempo across Middlebeare Heath and then into Wareham, the constant up and down of the “100 k” always starts to tell and the forest road up to the A35 is a bit of a chore! East Morden, Lytchett Matravers, Corfe Mullen, Merley, tea and cake! Organiser Mike Walsh is as benevolent as always, signing us all back in with no more than a cursory look at the clock. The ride out and home gives me an 18 mile bonus. 4hrs 45 (50 finishers)

Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers 100km Reliability Trial

Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers popular series of reliability trials continues this Sunday(Dec 2) with the 100km event. Heading out anti-clockwise, the route goes west to Blandford before turning south to Milton Abbas and Bovington Camp. The course then climbs up into the Purbeck Hills and Corfe Castle before heading across the heath to Wareham and back up to Merley. All are welcome! Start and finish is at Merley Community Centre (BH21 1XE), Harrier Drive, off Oakley Straight, Merley where parking, toilet facilities and light refreshments are available.
Start Finish
09:00 13:00-14:00
09:15
09:30
The first riders off are allowed 5 hours to complete the course with the fastest group expected to return in 3:30 hours
Members (First and Second Claim) £1 per Reliability Trial, other riders are required to become Associate Members of the Club and will pay £5 for all four Reliability Trials and all BJW Club Runs for a year. You can join on the day.
The term reliability trial dates back to the early years of the 20th century when cycling equipment was not so reliable, road surfaces were poor, sign-posting was even worse, and mobile telephones had yet to be invented. Reliability trial riders needed to be resilient, able to navigate, capable of dealing with minor mechanical problems, and fit enough to complete the course. Successful completion of all 4 BJW Reliability trials entitles the rider to a medal.

Cyclo-Cross World Cup;Koksijde

Cyclo-cross World Cup, Luke Gray rides & writes………………I was given selection for the third round of the Cyclo-cross World Cup at Koksijde. The course is run on the huge sand dunes on the Belgium coast in the corner of a military air base near the sea. This is one of the hardest cross courses in the world, and despite this being my third time here it doesn't get any easier. Its kind of like racing over the sand dunes at Studland only much much bigger. This time I was joined by 4 other Team GB U23 riders, Adam Martin, Hugo Robinson, Steve James, and Ben Sumner the only one who had never ridden at Koksijde before.

The race started on a nice stretch of tarmac with the rain lashing down, this was going to be a tuff race for me and with all that wet sand in the gears it’s a killer for the bike, not to mention the brake pads grinding into my nice Bontrager carbon wheels. The first 30 seconds of a cross race can be very dangerous, everybody wants to be first into the first turn, and its very easy to get carried away with every one sprinting for that same spot. Luckily I had a good start rounding the first corner rubbing shoulders with Steve James. Ok I was leaning on him a bit, but it gets a bit tight in the middle of nearly 60 riders, and he's a big lad at well over 6 foot so he would have hardly noticed me. Plus I had to avoid the first turn crash, unlike Ben Sumner who I saw unavoidable plough straight into Dutch rider David van der Pole who was lying on the ground with a few others.

Having been here before I knew I needed to go hard just before the sand sections, and take the speed across the top of the sand pushing hard all the way. Then once out of the sand I could recover in time for the next sand section. I was careful not to try to bridge the gap to the next rider before the sand. That way you have nothing left for the sand and you sink down into it and end up running which just puts you further behind. A couple of times the front end dug in and I came off but manage to stay upright and keep the shifters out of the sand. By the 4th lap I made my second change of 3 changes for a clean bike with my pit helper and sponsor Gregg of The ChainStay ( A cycle house in Belgium where I stay) keeping my bikes nice and clean.

The atmosphere here was incredible with many 1000's of cross fans under a sea of umbrellas shouting at you all the way round, and the wafting smell of Belgium beer and chips coming through the cold wet afternoon. So I was glad when the end of the race came 1 lap sooner than I had planned. I was pulled out under the 80% rule, it stops riders interfering with the race should the leaders catch you, but you are still given a finish. The first time that's happen to me this year and hopefully the last. So I was glad to get dry again, although from past experience it will be a couple of weeks before I get rid of all the sand from my car, wheel bags, bikes, shoes, helmet, tool box, you name it, sands in it. My finish of 40th was the best I have done here, I was also the best of the U23 Team GB rider and with this being a big power course I knew it would be hard. Hugo finished in 41th and 2 laps down, the same as Adam in 44th, Steve came in 3 laps down laps in 48th and Ben 4 laps down at 50th.

The next Cyclo-cross World Cup is in Belgium again at Heusden-Zolder on Boxing Day, but the next 3 weeks I will be in GB for a couple of National Cyclo-cross Trophy rounds

Weymouth CC Reliability Trial & Prize Presentation!

1st Reliability Ride, club AGM and prize giving, Steve Pink sends this report from West Dorset.......

This Sunday saw the first reliability ride of the winter. Weather forgiving there should be 4 rides in total, one each month (Nov/Dec/Jan/Feb) gradually increasing in distance. The first was a gentle 50k taking in the three climbs of Hardy's monument, Goulds hill and the steady drag west out from Piddlehinton Church. 20+ riders turned up and headed straight into a rather 'stiff' headwind and were soon tackling the days biggest climb up and over Hardy's Monument. This first challenge forced the riders into a split and as the first group turn at Portesham, with a now healthy tailwind Chippers started pulling the bunch along at a near 30mph average all the way to the bottom of the next climb. Goulds hill came and went without much trouble (the tailwind was still helping!) and then everyone dropped past Martinstown Cricket club and stared the long flat stretch towards Tincleton. Taking us straight across the lowlands meant plenty of half peddling to try and avoid wet feet and with a good rhythm being set the lead group decided to ignore the planed route and added an extra 5 or so miles just for fun (either that or we all got lost!). Back on track and back into the headwind as everyone headed towards the Piddle valley the pace was starting to be felt in the legs, then the heavens opened with a healthy dose of 'sideways' rain and once the final climb had be negotiated fractures started to appear amongst the first bunch, although the likes of Greg can attribute this to getting himself tied in knots trying to put his waterproof jacket on. The route had one last surprise in store for us, just past the Sun Inn, just a couple of miles from home, the last 'puddle' in the road was too long and too deep and riders shoes were quickly filling up with freezing cold flood water and bottom brackets will need servicing soon! A little over 2 hours and the first riders made it back to the shop and were looking forward to some hot food.
Once everyone had made it back the group headed across the road for a well earned lunch (thanks to Bonjour for fantastic food and great service) and with stomachs again full it was on to the AGM and prizes.
A big thank you must go to our Chairman Stuart Carrington, firstly for keeping the formalities of the AGM as short and sweet as possible, but also for the hard work he has put in this year as our club goes from strength to strength. There were a number of awards recognising both Greg Parker and Paddy Dunn's course record breaking achievements this season (the 5, both 10's, the 25 and the hilly 18 all went) and a handful of club standards too, plus the important recognition of Andrew Preston's achievement of being the first CC Weymouth rider to complete the randonneur series and finish the national 24hr TT setting the first club record for the distance.

The main awards:

Club points champion: Greg Parker
Vets points champion: David Butt
Club Hillclimb champion: Ben Davis
Clubman of the year: Justin Oakley
Ubber randonneur: Andrew Preston
Most improved rider: Steven Pink

The records broken:

21:31 Paddy Dunn P451/10 Club course record
55:37 Paddy Dunn p451/25 All comers course record
42:51 Paddy Dunn P451/18 All comers course record
09:14 Greg Parker P451/5 Club course record
21:48 Greg Parker P459/10 Club course record
335.862 mls Andrew Preston Club record 24 hour TT

And a note to Bryce Dyer (VC St Raphael) who broke the all comers record for the P451/5 with 09:07

Keep up the winter miles and we will see you all again soon for the next RR (that could stand for Reliablity Ride or Road Race depending on who you are!)

Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers Prize Presentation

Young Tyro, Will Stephenson (Rapha/Condor) was guest of honour at Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers annual prize presentation. Stephenson told the club about how he became involved in cycling. The good natured boo’s that greeted the mention of his first club, Bournemouth Arrow, quickly died away as he assured all, that the Jubilee would have been his choice had the evening 10 course been closer to home. The Great Britain junior went on to speak about his experiences at the World Championships in September. One of the highlights he proudly said was, sneakily trying on the red, white & blue kit in the hotel room prior to the race. Dave Pickering went away with most of the silverware including, Club Best All-Rounder and the multi- discipline Boyson Trophy. Other prize winners included Simon Meadwell (Cyclo-cross), Dave Hicks (hill climb) and Dave Mansfield (Messer Shield). Mike Walsh was awarded the 21st Anniversary cup for services to the club, Mike is standing down as organiser of the very popular reliability trials. Disappointingly numbers were down on previous years, but those in attendance enjoyed themselves and the club is indebted to organiser Kevin Ridge, who managed to source a pretentious red and a cheeky white which was provided free to all.

Hillingdon Inverse Points Grabber!

Dave Wade reports from the Hillingdon Inverse Points Grabber……….Cycling buddies Jordan Wade and Ryan Hasler wanted to race together in a final hoorah for 2013 before they take separate career paths, in Jordan’s case Swansea University. In order to do so Ryan has to get out of Cat 4 so off they went to Hillingdon to race in a promotion called Inverse RT points grabber. The weather was awful but the usual hardy riders turned up and braved the really wet and windy conditions.

In the E1/2/3 race (about 15 entrants) at the start two riders made a bolt for it and managed a lead of about 30 seconds before one of the riders dropped off the pace. The pack soon closed in and caught this rider and as they did so four riders including Jordan, made a break and started the task of reeling in the lone rider who was about 25 seconds up. Lap by lap the gap was closed and the with about 8 laps to go the lone rider was caught and passed. This group were now well ahead of the chasing pack and at the bell riders were eyeing each other up wondering who was going first. On the last bend they were all together and in the final sprint places were exchanged but it was Jordan who proved to be strongest and he pushed hard for the line grabbing his first E/1/2/3 victory.

In the Cat 4 race Ryan was looking to grab the ten points needed to get into Cat 3. He started to force the pace and after four laps had a gap of about 20 seconds but nobody from the pack wanted to go with him. With the weather being so bad Ryan had a difficult task in staying out in front on his own and it was not long before the pack caught him up. After being caught Ryan pushed again and this time six riders went with him forcing a break that would not be bridged. Lap after lap riders took turns with Ryan always at the front or second, Jordan screaming at Ryan from the side lines to stop doing all the work but together they stayed till the final sprint. Ryan’s lack of experience at this type of racing became evident at the sprint with two riders catching him out and bolting for the line. Ryan tried closing the gap and was catching up but the finishing line came too soon so he had to settle for third. One more race and he will be there no doubt.

A good day racing in awful weather, that’s what cycling is all about isn’t it?

Dorset Miles, Bear Cross Sunday Ride: A bit of a Monument!

Thirteen at Bear Cross this morning, the roads were wet but the sun was shining, compared to Saturday it was a good day. Out to Wimborne then straight up the main road to Cranborne, the sign said “Closed Road” but bikes can always get through, some unclipped in an effort to keep feet dry, others just ploughed on as sealed bottom brackets were put to the test. From Cranborne it was up to Boveridge, then Tidpit, North End and Rockbourne, the Rose & Thistle pub still has the old STRONGS sign on the wall. Across Rockbourne Down to the A354, The descent to Coombe Bissett is smooth and fast then it’s a left turn and an old favourite. Stratford Tony, Bishopstone, Stoke Farthing, Broadchalke, Fifield Bavant, Ebbesborne Wake, Alvediston, Berwick St John and Ludwell, all familiar but only in passing. The muck and debris on the road added to the adventure in a pleasing sort of way. Dodging sticks & stones to Charlton, then briefly on the A30, there was talk of tea at Shaftesbury but it was no more than talk. Down to Cann Common then the climb of Zig-Zag, the four on the front were “cock measuring” the rest of us were surviving as the rain started to fall. Regrouping and fast down to Tollard Farnham, Newtown, across the main road again and on to Horton. Right in the village and up to Chalbury Common, Gaunts Common and back to the flesh pots, and the group splits. Fast around the apron of Hurn Airport for those that had the legs, it was raining hard now but we were home free. 2 punctures, 4hrs 15, a bit of a Monument this one!

Dan Lloyd Ends Racing Career

Daniel Lloyd has made the decision to retire after 11 years as a full time bike rider. Lloyd rode for IG Sigma Sport in 2012, finishing 57th in his final race, The Tour of Britain. He will take on the position of assistant sports director with the team. As well as his new management role he will continue to work with Eurosport and other media interests. Bournemouth-based Lloyd started his career in mountain biking but soon moved to the road getting his first break with Endurasport.com. Spells with Giant Asia, DFL-Cyclingnews & An Post-Sean Kelly followed, before signing for Cervelo Test Team in 2009. He rode his first Grand Tour that year finishing the Giro D’ Italia. In 2010 he rode the Giro again and got a late call up for the Tour De France, despite crashing heavily early in the three week race Lloyd made it to Paris. The Cervelo team was taken over at the end of the 2010 season, becoming Garmin-Cervelo. Lloyd had impressed enough to earn a one year contract with the new outfit but his racing opportunities were limited in 2011 and at the end of the year he was released. His final race
Lloyd told "Local Riders"
"After 9 years racing full time as a professional rider, I decided the time was right to move on to the next stage of my career. I had an amazing adventure and I was helped by so many local people along the way, that will always be appreciated.

I will, of course, remain heavily involved in cycling. I am coaching a couple of promising riders, I will continue to commentate on a few of the pro races, and I will also continue to work for the IG Sigma Sport team as an assistant sports director.

However, the majority of my time will be spent on a new project, which I will announce shortly."
