The Essex Tandem Weekend: Mucking about on Bikes!

“Local Riders, Local Races” is about racing, it is why we are here. That romance of suffering on a bike has always appealed, proper training, not “steady rides”, the taste of blood at the back of the mouth, far more preferable to coffee and chocolate cake (well nearly). However even “LR,LR” must kick back and relax sometimes and with the social season in full swing there is no better time to ride just for the fun of it and the Essex Tandem weekend provides that fun. First run in 1964 the tandem weekend is now in its 50th year and seems as popular as ever, with 37 pairings, 5 solos & a tandem trike riding the 2014 edition to Copdock near Ipswich.

Organiser Graham “Spyder” Adams (Crest CC) was sixteen when he rode that first event and has only missed one since, a particularly steamy weekend with a young lady proving a more attractive option back in the sixties. Traditionally held on Remembrance weekend, the format has changed little over the years, a Friday night burn-up to pub and youth hostel, with a nice comfortable hotel on the Saturday night. A following van carrying luggage made its debut in the early 70’s.

Lengthy pub lunches fuel the legs and Paul O’Kelly (Redbridge CC) leads the singing, often accompanied by John "Twiggy" Browning (Crest C C) on Spoons! Of course competition is never far away, sprints to pub signs are fiercely contested, even tactical! But the winners are forgotten before the first pint is dispatched.Landlords and Landladies love the late season business, the straining lycra,the smiling faces, the folk songs and of course the generous "whip round". The characters come and go, "Weapon", "Gadaffi", "S","Savage Mick" "Hippo" the tandem weekend has seen them all and survived. A tea stop in the failing light on Sunday afternoon brings the fun to an end.

Adams is a track fan but loves the road also and is no stranger to distance. In 1985, along with Phil Dade (Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers), they mounted an assault on the Tandem 24hr record. At 438 miles the target was achievable but three punctures and heavy overnight rain left them disappointed on 416 miles. Dade moved onto triathlon but Adams returned the following year and stoked by Mike Smith (Maldon & Dist CC), they set a new mark of 466.57 miles at the Mersey Roads event. Adams also captained Smith to the 12hr record in 1985.

Over the years the Tandem weekend has roamed far & wide, Brighton, Stratford, Northampton, Buckingham, Felixstowe, even France. Wherever the destination, there is always time to remember, the "Last Post" is played (on a trumpet this year) and two minutes silence is impeccably observed. A finger-post sign on a triangle of green in Suffolk, a fitting location for reflection.

The years may not have condemned yet but they have certainly wearied, the Friday night thrash has gone, a leisurely rendezvous at an Essex hostelry is now the preferred option. London clubs are well represented, Crest CC, Maldon & Dist, Chelmer RC, Redbridge CC, Glade CC are to the fore but word has spread, with Chippenham & Dist Wheelers, Southampton Uni CC & Bournemouth Jubilee colours standing out. It is not about clubs though,it is about riding bikes, it is about taking the micky, mucking about with your mates, it is about comradeship. The 2015 Tandem weekend is on the 7th/8th November and is heading to Cambridge all the regulars will be there, the yard of ale contest, the fancy dress and of course Graham “Spyder” Adams!

Friends of Bournemouth Track Meeting

An open meeting of the “Friends of Bournemouth Track” will be held at 19:00 on Monday 24th November at Winton College . The Bournemouth Track at Ensbury Park is a superb facility but for competition racing to flourish and expand, a non-club aligned group of officials and volunteers is vital if the track is to fulfil its potential. The aim is to develop a team of qualified track Commissaires and helpers, enough so as to not impact weekly on the “same old faces”. This team would not be expected to organise races but could be an available resource for Event Promoters. In 2015 the track will host an 18 week league, a youth Omnium, an Open meeting with an additional open meeting at the planning stage. All those interested, regardless of club affiliation are encouraged to attend this inaugural meeting.

The “Friends of Bournemouth Track” is a
NON ALIGNED ORGANISATION
it is about
OFFICIALS & VOLUNTEERS
Who are all interested in supporting events at Bournemouth Track

This inaugural meeting will be chaired by David Wade (Poole Wheelers)

Hopkins Top Dog at Hop Dog Horn!

Lots of Photos on our Facebook Page

Paul Hopkins (Merida UK) won the Wareham Forest XC Enduro, seeing off the determined challenge of Dorset’s best All-rounder James Horton (CANNONDALE). Hopkins, along with teammates, Simon Allard & Kim Little, Horton &John Samways (Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers) had quickly established a lead on the 90 strong field, pulling away on the first 4.8 mile lap. ).

Samways could not live with the pace and was soon losing contact, Horton, however was up for it! Be it road, against the clock, or on the rough stuff, the 30 year old always races aggressively and was taking the fight to the Merida boys on the single track & fire trails.

Allard started to dangle at half-distance, a season blighted by injury, costing him the staying power required.

Deep into the 2 hour enduro Horton continued to make the pace, Little was looking good and Hopkins seemed content to sit and watch as the trio started to lap the back-markers. But any plans of a Merida 1-2, disappeared on the penultimate lap as Little punctured, Allard, still plugging away, caught and passed the unlucky Little, a third place bonus! Hopkins always seemed to have another gear and made his move just after the bell, pulling away on a muddy downhill section. Amy-Jo Hansford (MSG) won the women’s race, the youngster finishing ahead ahead of pre-race favourite Heidi Gould (Marin Bikes), with Loe Freer (DRR)in third place. Sponsored by the Sunny Republic Brewery of Blandford, the post race free bar went down well, pints of “Hop Dog” slaking the muddy thirsts!
