Ian Drake to Step Down after "Unprecedented" Tenure


Press Release

IAN DRAKE TO STEP DOWN AFTER “UNPRECEDENTED” TENURE
Ian Drake has confirmed that he will step down as CEO of British Cycling in April 2017.

Drake said: “Some time ago I made the decision that the Rio Games would be my last as CEO of British Cycling. Now, following the success of our Olympic and Paralympic teams at those Games, the launch of our innovative new partnership with HSBC UK and Yorkshire’s successful bid to host the 2019 Road World Championships, I believe that the end of this Olympic cycle is the natural moment for a new CEO to take the organisation forward into the Tokyo Games and beyond.

“I have been involved with British Cycling in some form for almost 20 years, the last eight as CEO, and it is an organisation that I will always love. I have been privileged to be a part of the amazing success we have experienced over those two decades and I know that it will go on to even greater heights in the years to come.

“All organisations, particularly those operating at the highest level of sport, periodically require new leadership to take them to greater heights and tackle their new challenges – now is the right moment for both myself and British Cycling to move on.”

Drake first began working with British Cycling as a consultant in 1995 before joining the organisation full-time in 1998 in order to develop and implement the playground-to-podium pathway that was successfully introduced in 2000. In 2004 he was appointed Participation and Operations Director, before becoming Deputy Chief Executive in 2007. He succeeded Peter King as CEO in 2009.

British Cycling President Bob Howden commented: “I want to put on record my personal thanks to Ian for all he has done for British Cycling during a period of unprecedented success and growth at all levels - from the remarkable achievements at recent Olympic and Paralympic Games, to the extraordinary growth in participation, Ian has been a pivotal figure in it all.

“It is also testament to his commitment to the organisation that he has chosen to announce this now so that we have time to conduct a comprehensive search for his successor.”

The British Cycling board, led by the President, will now begin the search for a new CEO. Further announcements on this will be made in due course.

British Cycling under Ian Drake

· Over two million people are now cycling once a week, according to Sport England.

· Over 1.7 million people cite the British Cycling-Sky partnership as the reason they started cycling or now cycle more often.

· Membership has grown from 25,000 at the end of 2008 to 129,000 now.

· Female membership has increased 700%.

· 24 new cycle sport facilities have been built and seven refurbished since 2009 with a further £15 milllion to be invested after the successful bid to host 2019 UCI Road World Championships.

· The number of grassroots cycle sport events has doubled.

· 16 UCI World Championship or World Cup events have been hosted, including this year the most successful UCI Track World Championships of the modern era.

· 34 gold medals in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics and Paralympics.

In addition to the Arrow event, Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers will once again be running their popular, long running reliability trial series. The monthly trials, starting with the 50 mile event in November, always provide a good test of rider and machine.

Cost is £5 for all four Reliability Trials and all BJW Club Runs for the year. You can join on the day.
Under 18s should be accompanied by an adult.

5TH FEBRUARY 2017 100 MILES/100 KM
All BJW reliability trials will start between 08:30-09:30, SIGN ON & GO! From Merley Community Centre BH21 1XE.
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 within the time limit.
Successful completion of all 4 BJW Reliability trials entitles the rider to a medal.

Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers winter club run calendar 2016/17.
All are welcome to attend Bournemouth Jubilee club runs, meet at Kinson Library on Sunday mornings.
Schedule for Winter 2016/17 is as follows. 9AM start (with exception of the Reliability Rides which start at Merley Community Centre).
The rides will generally be ~50-70 miles with a cafe stop at the destination. Club runs are not run at race pace, but you do need to be reasonably fit to complete them. You need a robust bike (not expensive) as some of the roads that the club runs use are minor B-roads so mudguards and 25c tyres are recommended in the Winter Months.

Dorset Hill Climb, Keightley Unbeatable on Bulbarrow!


Lewis Keightley is proving unbeatable in the Dorset Hill climb series, soaring to another win on Bulbarrow Hill.
The 1.3 mile slog from Belchelwell on the north side of this Dorset lump has a bit of everything, the 15% lower slopes level out, even dropping a little before rising up above the Blackmore Vale to the finish. Keightley, riding a 55 tooth front ring and tri-bars, coped easily with the hill despite some reporting wheel-spin after heavy morning rain had left the surface, leaf-strewn and slick.
Phil Cole (Mud Sweat 'n Gears) was the best of the rest, finishing 17 seconds behind Keightley but a good 30 seconds clear of teammate Monty Knight. With just one round remaining the team title seems to be a 3-way fight between MSG, Purbeck Peloton & CC Weymouth with Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers & Poole Wheelers equally uninterested, this Bournemouth Jubilee promotion attracted just one club member, Mark Bloomfield, who duly lifted the club championship.

Roger Slade Remembered



Moving tributes from sons, Matthew and Jonathan were heard by the packed congregation at the small church of St Marys in the West Dorset village of Stratton. Some proud consolation for mum Gill. Roger Slades full life was celebrated, jazz musician,cars, photography, cycling,model railways,gourmet, raconteur & wine expert! We all said our goodbyes, tears & laughter and afterwards, at the Village hall all were made very welcome, Roger Slade touched many peoples lives. 1941-2016.

"Spent many a happy Saturday afternoon in that little shop.... A font of fun and knowledge... and a passion for anything cycling. A sad loss"
anon
Very sad to report the passing of Roger Slade on 3rd October 2016. Roger opened Ridge Racing in Bournemouth in the mid 1980s, the cycling shop, stocked with the latest equipment quickly becoming the place to buy, chat and hang out.
"I wrote a letter to dear Roger in 1987 asking him to support me, i was a fledgling triathlete, just finding my feet, a member of Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers but not yet a cyclist. Without hesitation Roger said yes, (he liked the fact i had bothered to write a letter), Ridge Racing sponsored me for 5 years, providing bikes in horrendous shades of pink without question. Roger was a cyclist at heart but was happy to humour a "green" triathlete who knew little about "proper" cycling.

I get it now Rog!"

Roger Slade finally lost his battle with illness and died on 3rd October at home with his wife Gill, boys Jon, Matt and the dogs beside him which is what he wanted.



In his final weeks, the cycling community rallied round to send messages
of support - for which he was incredible grateful for.
Roger Slade 1941-2016

Andy Storey "I first encountered Roger through one of his riders: Chaz Chasemore. I can vividly remember seeing Chas at Poole Track League warming up on a stunning, shocking neon pink track bike with such a fluid pedalling style. I thought he looked pretty cool and sought out "Ridge Racing" a few weeks later on a training ride. I'm sure I wasn't the first kid to press their nose up against the window on a Sunday looking at some of those gleaming, exotic bikes that it used to stock. I rode for CS Purbeck for a few years, and it was during those winter rides that Roger organised that I understood why the likes of Dave Rand, Chas, et al would beat me so easily - I simply wasn't training hard enough! So they were a massive help, as was the advice I gleaned from Mark Lewis every week. Just little things like riding without your hands on the bars,repairing punctures out in deepest Dorset, being able to put on a gilet/race cap whilst riding along accompanied by Roger's infamous team car awash with sponsor logos and roof racks.
The Junior Purbeck GP was a race that I managed to complete which is still on of my proudest feast on the bike. I still have no recollection of the route, but I remember finishing in Wareham to much delight. A lot of races afterwards seemed pretty easy in comparison!"


Glen Pickford "I first met Roger in 1989 at his shop Ridge Racing in Bournemouth. Having just moved south from Lancashire in 1988, he was surprise to see a cyclist walk into his shop in the infamous Manchester Wheelers, Austin - Trumanns Steel Kit of my then team mates Chris Boardman, Paul Curran and the likes. After some conversation, he persuaded me to join his Bournemouth Olympic Ridge Racing project. That year I delivered some good wins for the team including the Shimano Grand Prix in Surrey which resulted in my first call up to the GB squad, which resulted in the Ridge Racing name on the side of my shorts getting exposure on Belgium and French TV. However one of the most enjoyable personal results was with two of my Ridge Racing team mates Mark Foden and Adrian Scofield when we blitzed round the Poole Wheelers 25 mile 3up TTT in 49 minutes, just after a massive thunder storm.. This gave Roger the opportunity to take the zip out of Alan Strong, it was one of the most perfect team rides I have had, well almost, next to the Poole Wheelers Vets two up later that year partnering a certain Mr M Tarrant, when we did it on road bikes, spoked road wheels and cotton caps turned backwards, finishing second by just a few seconds, giving Roger the chance again to take the rip out of Alan Strong who was full aero'ed and disc wheeled. Happy banter between those two.

Roger was a massive cycling fan and was so willing and enthusiastic to support riders in the sport, he often butted heads with BCF members to improve the sport. So enthusiastic and of his teams and I am extremely grateful to all the support he gave me.

It's a sad loss but fondly remembered
."


Roger Slade - 'a legend'. Back in the early 80's a bunch of Royal Marines decided to get into the sport of triathlon. We could run quite well, swim powerfully but had no clue about cycling, and so Roger came to our rescue with advice, kit and most importantly enthusiasm. At our first championships held in Poole Roger insisted on conducting full safety checks on all the bikes which resulted in one being taken to the welding workshop to get sorted.

It was he who introduced us to the local cycling fraternity and encouraged us into the time trials and training rides that enabled us to learn how to ride - if not properly then better. A couple of our guys went on to do quite well internationally including Berni Shrosbree and Chris Ray. Many of us fared quite well and are lifelong cycling addicts as a result of his input. Thank you Roger. Daff

Richard "Barney" Storey "The first time I met Roger was at the local 10 mile time trial (Barney aged 11) when he turned up with his team to ride. It was the first time I'd really seen a team first hand and loved seeing Roger interact with the riders. My first glimpse of what I would be doing 25 years later! As a family we got closer with Roger as myself and Andy were racing through the age groups. We helped Roger with his brilliantly run races, we became members of his team. If anyone gets a chance, look at the winners of Rogers Junior Purbeck GP, most going on to be very good professional road riders. He was generous with his support of riders and always wanting to help. Even at this stage Women's racing didn't have high numbers, but he still supported the now Raleigh DS Cherie Pridham. I was incredibly proud to work (like so many) at Ridge Racing. I Stayed working with Roger at Ridge Racing, then moving to his new unit at Wareham, where he finally moved away from the bike industry.
As a teenager, working with Roger and in his bike shop taught me so much, but also being taught everything about bike racing was fantastic and set me up for my role now of team DS. I was incredibly sad to hear of Roger's passing. It was very nice to be able to make contact with him in the last few weeks. Not to say goodbye, just to thank him for all he did to help a very young Barney Storey on his path to a cycling career and continued involvement in the industry."



Jonathan Wiggins "RIP Rog, so many massive memories and always so passionate about cycling. I remember this club runs well travelling down from Frome and staying with your family. CS Purbeck Ridge Racing was a fantastic club we all learnt so much. You took me racing in France and Belgium for the first time in your citroen flying along because we were late for our boat to Cherbourg. Then we had an accident and wrote the car off in Belgium and had to hire another citroen, which was too small to fit the roof-rack, had to alter everything and make it in time on the boat. So many memories and a true gem of a man that many of us owe so much admiration and respect to. Sure you would be proud that I still live in Belgium and in the racing scene. Thanks Rog"

Whiteway Hill Climb, Keightley Clear in Purbecks!


Lewis Keightley (Team Bottril) won the Poole Wheelers, Whiteway Hill climb, producing the only sub-7 minute ride on the 2.4 mile Purbeck climb. Keightleys time of 6.53 was 11 seconds down on his winning time in 2013 but over 30 seconds clear of Ryan Weston (Poole Wheelers), a chill northerly wind spoiling the bright autumn morning. Keightley, riding a straight forward time trial bike, averaged 27mph on the flat approach before soaring up the army range ascent. Martin Rowland (Poole Wheelers) finshed 13 seconds adrift of Weston in third.
New club on the block, Purbeck Peloton should give reigning champions Mud,Sweat 'nGears a fight this year, Rob Koppenhall, 7th, claiming club bragging rights for the newcomers.
