Crabwood CC Club 10, Results

The Crabwood Cycling Club always punch above their weight! Only a small membership but whether it is the Heath Road races, Open Time Trials, club events or one of their frequent social rides, they always step up. A club 10 following CTT Covid-19 guidelines? No problem for the club, marshalled by stalwart Claire Newman and her can-do approach. John Winchester won the first Wednesday evening 10 mile test on the P164 across Beulieu Heath in the New Forest with 25:27. Fastest of the guest riders was Ian Paterson (UTAG) clocking 22:14 with a certain former multi-national champion Julia Shaw (Drag2Zero) taking 3rd place with 23:29. Completing their start timekeeping duties, Mary Corbett & Norman Harvey (Sotonia CC) jumped on the tandem trike (in a social bubble) and three-wheeled round in 32:05 on bright and breezy night.

Day Breaks Course Record at Bournemouth Jubilee Club 10!

Tom Day (Zannata Galloo) broke the course record with 19:58, on his way to winning the Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers club 10 on the P311 in Hampshire. The B3347 Christchurch road chases the River Avon down to the turn at the Woolpack Inn and the rough road surface has earned it the nickname “the Rumble Strip”. Day made it more like a drag strip taking 13 seconds off the old mark, an impressive 20:11 set by Ken Buckley (Nuun Sigma Sport London RT) on Boxing Day 2018. It would have been faster had Day not been delayed by a tractor on the course, a “long 19” in training last week, proof if any were needed of the just-turned eighteen-year old’s form. A “19” on the P311 does not make it a fast course but it does make Tom Day fast! Tom Stocker took the honours in the club event with 22:11, a 10 second improvement on last week, on a warm sunny evening that saw 30 riders sign on, all observing CTT COVID-19 guidelines of course. Same again next week with the Jubilee holding their club 10-mile championship.

Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers Club 10, Results

Bob Richardson won the Bournemouth Jubilee wheelers club 10 but the real victors were the Jubilee, the committee members and maybe even local cycling itself. After a barren 4 months it was good to see competion back,all be it very different. The determination of the Jubilee committee to offer some racing again was a defiant, resilient gesture, a positive response to the COVID-19 pandemic, no small amount of courage required for that. There was no tea and biscuits, no post race chat, no excuses around the result board but there was racing and all were thankful for that, from 14 year old Akiva Maxwell to 79 year old Pat Pinchin, it  was fitting that Jubilee chairman Richardson won on what was a “pretty good” night, falling pressure and light winds reminding us of what we have missed!

"Well it's time to see if you can squeeze into the skinsuit after months of binging on "Box Sets". Well we have the perfect remeday to help you get back into a bit of time trialling without having to dodge the traffic heading for La Plage Bournemouth or Durdle Dooring

We are presenting you the opportunity of a closed circuit time trial at the quintessentially English motor racing circuit Goodwood. Now that may send a shudder through some of the "die-hards" as they wonder how on earth will we find an aero cravat! Don't Panic, I'm sure Xavier Disley will be running up a few already & testing them in the wind tunnel.

The date is Sunday 26th July & it is just for a short period in the morning before the regular clientele arrive. The programme ...a3crg has put together is for both road bike & TT bikes for both men & women, plus two events for juveniles 11yrs - 13yrs & 14yrs- 15yrs, what isn't there to like. There is a great viewing platform above the pits but all the accompany riders must register beforehand, otherwise that will be left outside wandering around the Rolls Royce car park, could be an expensive day out Entries are via the normal CTT Entry system.

CTT CORONAVIRUS UPDATE

This update relates to CTT events in England only. It does not relate to events in Wales or Scotland.

Currently, all CTT Type B ‘club’ events are suspended up to and including 12 July 2020 and all Type A ‘open’ events are suspended up to and including 17 July 2020.

Having considered the amended government guidelines and legislation released on 04 July, the Board of Cycling Time Trials is pleased to confirm that as the situation stands at present, it is not proposed to extend that suspension of events further and that competition can resume.

Accordingly, CTT Type B ‘club’ events can be held from and including Monday 13 July 2020 and all CTT events, to include Type A ‘open’ events, can be held from and including Saturday 18 July 2020.

When holding an event, whether that be a Type B ‘club’ or Type A ‘open’ event, it is essential that the requirements as set out in the CTT COVID-19 risk assessment are followed. It is also essential that in the case of a ‘local lockdown’ due to an increase in COVID-19 infection in any particular area, that any such local lockdown is respected and adhered to. If any club or organiser is in any doubt as to whether or not an event can proceed, please contact the National Secretary (Legal & Corporate) nick.sharpe@cyclingtimetrials.org.uk

The COVID-19 risk assessment and guidance – Putting on a Cycling Time Trials Event under COVID-19 is available on the CTT website:

https://cyclingtimetrials.org.uk/documents/index/covid-19

CTT will continue to monitor the position closely. The threat of COVID-19 and the risk of infection does still remain. If you are not well or showing signs of COVID-19 then please do not attend at any CTT event.

Please remember that we have had many events cancelled this year due to COVID-19. Also, many of the sport’s volunteers, without whom events cannot take place, are themselves in the vulnerable age categories and so will not be able to help out.

The sport needs volunteers!

If you can, and you enjoy time trialling, please offer your services for an event and help. Unless there are volunteers willing to do so, quite simply we won’t have any events for you to race in.

Isle of Wight to Host Tour of Britain 2022 Final Stage

The Isle of Wight will host the Tour of Britain – the UK’s biggest and most prestigious professional cycle race – for the first time ever in September 2022, following an agreement between race organisers and the Isle of Wight Council signed this morning (Saturday 4 July) that will see the final stage of the 2022 race taking place on the island.

It will mark the first time that the Tour of Britain has visited the Isle of Wight, providing a unique opportunity for residents and tourists to watch the world’s top teams and riders racing on the Isle, in front of a worldwide live television audience.

The news was announced this morning – Saturday 4 July – following a signing ceremony in Ryde, which also marked the start of The Great Tour, a 64-day, 6,700 kilometre charity fundraising cycle, from Ryde.

The Isle of Wight is no stranger to hosting cycle races – the pro-am, cross-Europe Sealink International stage race (1983), the Isle of Wight Classic (1985) and the Tour Series (2015) have all taken place – although 2022’s Tour stage there will be the biggest sporting event ever to take place on its roads.

Isle of Wight Council leader, Councillor Dave Stewart said: “Securing the Tour of Britain is a major coup for the Island and just what is needed to help boost the local economy after the devastating impact of coronavirus.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the stunning landscapes of the Island to an international audience, attracting spectators locally and from afar to enjoy world-class cycling.

“This event will support our economy through hotel stays or spending money in local shops and businesses.

“Just as the Isle of Wight is synonymous with sailing, so too I hope we can become a mecca for all things cycling with Tour of Britain and other exciting cycling events in the pipeline.”

“We are delighted to be officially confirming in two years’ time we will be bringing the world’s best cyclists to the Isle of Wight for the final stage of the Tour of Britain, in what I am sure will be one of our most memorable stages,” said Hugh Roberts, Managing Director of Tour of Britain organisers SweetSpot Group.

“The fact that despite this summer’s events we are working ahead with partners and planning the routes for 2021, 2022 and beyond shows that despite adversity, the Tour of Britain will continue to flourish. We hope that seeing this news will inspire more people and organisations than ever before to get behind and support our national Tour and to help us reach our goal of making the Tour of Britain the biggest stage race outside of the three Grand Tours by the end of the decade.

“This is just the start of our relationship with the Isle of Wight, and through events like the start of the 64-day Great Tour ride today we will be working with the Isle of Wight Council and partners to put the island firmly on the cycling map in the 2020s and helping people to ‘Ride the Isle’. I look forward to returning to Ryde and the Isle of Wight in September at the conclusion of The Great Tour having hopefully done a lot to create a legacy route around Britain’s coastline and raised awareness and funds for a variety of community, health and environmental causes, and look forward even more to September 2022.”

Stephen Park, Performance Director for the Great Britain Cycling Team said:

“The Isle of Wight is well known for its sailing heritage and it’s also a brilliant place to ride a bike thanks to the unique and distinctive coastline and scenery, so I know the stage will be a landmark event in 2022’s sporting summer. While we will all miss watching this year’s Tour of Britain, it is great to see the organisers break new ground with a first trip to the island.”


The 2022 Tour of Britain is due to begin in Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire and finish with a final stage on the Isle of Wight. The exact date of the race will be confirmed next September following the publication of the UCI’s 2022 road cycling calendar.

Tour of Britain organisers SweetSpot and the Isle of Wight Council are also jointly exploring other opportunities in cycling for 2021 as a build up to September 2020 when the island will become the focus of the cycling world during the final stage of the Tour of Britain.

The Great Tour, a 64-day ride around the coastline of Britain is due to finish back in Ryde on Saturday 5 September, having completed an anti-clockwise loop of the English, Scottish and Welsh coasts to raise money for a variety of health charities. SweetSpot Group Managing Director Hugh Roberts is one of two cyclists aiming to complete the entire 6,700 kilometre route.


With its mix of stunning landscapes and gruelling terrain, Councillor Wayne Whittle, Cabinet member for regeneration and business development, said the Island would provide a spectacular finale to The Tour of Britain, saying “The Tour Series was a huge success when it came to Ryde four years ago and the Tour of Britain promises to be even bigger and involve the whole Island.

“Estimates from other councils staging similar stages have shown up to a 40 per cent increase in visitor numbers and a £4 million economic boost to their local economy.

“Add to this the legacy of support for our Island’s cycling ambitions and it really is good news at a time we need it most.”

Following the postponement of this September’s Tour of Britain, the next edition of the Tour of Britain be in September 2021, starting in Penzance, Cornwall on Sunday 5 September and finishing in Aberdeen on Sunday 12 September. Full details of the 2021 race route will be announced in the autumn.

The Tour of Britain is British Cycling’s premier road cycling event, giving cycling fans the opportunity to see the world’s best teams and riders competing on their doorstep and helping to build a great cycling nation.

Covid -19 British Cycling Update

British Cycling Statement 3rd July 2020
British Cycling can today give an update on work to enable people to return to the sport of cycling, and in particular the blanket suspensions of regional and national-level racing, which are currently due to run until August 1 and September 1 respectively.


On June 18, we lifted the suspension on club and group activity in England with the publication of the first iteration of The Way Forward, our guide aimed at empowering the people at the grassroots of our sport to resume activities. Our clubs have taken this opportunity to begin responsibly organising activity in small groups, and this weekend sees the return of our led ride programmes, HSBC UK Breeze and Guided Rides, which are a vital gateway to cycling for thousands of people every year.

Regional racing
Currently, regional-level racing is suspended until August 1, and we committed ourselves to giving four weeks’ notice of any extension or curtailment.

At this stage, we do not believe there is a case to extend the suspension of regional-level racing beyond August 1, because there are certain formats in a number of disciplines of our sport which may be in a position to return sooner than others – provided they can comply with the relevant government guidelines in place at that point. This is still expected to include restrictions on group size, hygiene controls and social distancing, format of the activity and any additional measures such as restrictions on travel.

The disciplines and formats we believe could make the earliest return include BMX, cycle speedway, track, circuit racing, road time trials, cyclo-cross, and cross-country and gravity mountain biking. British Cycling staff are currently working with the respective discipline commissions and colleagues at Scottish Cycling and Welsh Cycling to produce a framework including guidelines and tools for the safe return of each discipline.

We are keenly aware that road racing is the passion of a great number of our members. While we were able to reintroduce small club rides on June 18, we believe there are particular challenges when it comes to reintroducing this discipline as well as other mass-start events on the public highway, including sportives.

These challenges include the impact on the communities whose roads we use, field sizes and the support required from emergency services. Therefore, it is likely that when mass start road events do return, they will do so first on closed circuits.

Of course, all of this planning and all of this work depends on the relevant restrictions put in place by the government authorities in England, Scotland and Wales. We will continue to work closely with event organisers, our cycle sport commissions and other volunteers, as well as colleagues in Scottish Cycling and Welsh Cycling, to be in the best position to react quickly to support and enable activity, as the restrictions change. This includes ensuring we are able to react to any localised restrictions, such as those recently introduced in Leicester.

However, we wanted you to know that while not all disciplines and formats will return at the same time and in the same way, we are working hard with colleagues in government and across sport to help organised cycling return as soon as is practical. Our aim is to be flexible and responsive as conditions change to support our sport which is, like many others, largely volunteer delivered.

National Series and National Championships
Racing at national series and national championships level is currently suspended until September 1. Following consultation with teams and event organisers, we do not believe it is possible to this year hold national series and national championships in disciplines which take place in the spring and summer months. This means we will not see national series or championships in road, mountain biking, BMX and cycle speedway. The exceptions to this are some national youth and junior events which, with school sport expected to return in September, could still take place on rearranged dates. In addition, we remain hopeful that national series and championship racing could take place in cyclo-cross and track later this year and in early 2021.

This news will come as a disappointment to many – a feeling which everyone at British Cycling shares – but particularly to those who hoped to compete for the jerseys which are awarded to our national champions and worn with pride in races around the world.

British Cycling Integrity and Compliance Director, Rod Findlay, said:

“After several months of exploring alternatives and discussions with the relevant authorities, today we have made the difficult decision to formally cancel all national series and national championship events in the disciplines of road, cross country, downhill and 4X mountain biking, BMX and cycle speedway. This is not a decision we ever wanted to make however in the interests of providing clarity and certainty to our teams, riders and event organisers we believe it is the correct one. I’m pleased to say that the organisers who were to host events in 2020, will retain them for 2021.

“Our team is now working hard to lay the groundwork for resuming regional-level activity, and we remain hopeful that we will see some competitive racing next month. Plans for our winter programme are progressing well and though the past three months have been frustrating for all of us, I want to thank everybody involved in our sport for their patience and understanding in challenging circumstances. We can also now look forward to our national championships returning with strength in 2021.”

Following advice from British Cycling, the UCI have confirmed that current national champions will be permitted to continue to wear their national champions jersey until the next edition of the relevant event.
Later this month, we plan to publish an update to The Way Forward with further detail on the return of organised cycling, including information to help event organisers, and we will continue to add to our series of webinars aimed at supporting all those involved in delivering our sport. In addition, we will communicate further on points and categories for this year.

In the meantime, we are grateful for the continued support of our members, the volunteers on whom our sport depends, and everyone who loves cycling.

Dorset Races Cancelled

The Womens 2 day on 5th/6th September and the Portmore Autumn classic planned for 26th September have both been cancelled due to the COVID pandemic. Currently there is no racing up to 1st August. Organiser Tom Clements told us:
“Due to covid 19 and the wider implications of running a race on the health of all involved I have made the decision to cancel both the races in September, the Women’s 2 Day and the Portmore Classic. Hopefully we will be back back next year.”

On a more optimistic note club time trials are currently due to resume the week beginning 13th July, final confirmation of this will come from the CTT.
