Raymond Brown Track League 14/ Results & Final League Standings



Adam d’Arcy-Wykes (VC ST Raphael/Waites Contracts) won the inaugural Raymond Brown Track league after 14 weeks of competition. Back in May, when the league started Wykes was clearly off the pace but as the rounds passed his form and fitness visibly improved. Third place in the elimination race was the best result on the night for Wykes but the £100 first prize was already his. Dominant early leader, Harrison Fielding (Poole Wheelers) fell victim to his packed racing schedule and his challenge faded. Fielding finished in second place overall despite missing the final round. Steve Moss (Bournemouth Arrow/Hotel Collingwood) & Leon Marshall (Rutrainingtoday CC) were tied for third place going into the final race of the league, the 40 lap scratch, both finished out of the points so the spoils were shared. Speaking as he warmed down on the rollers in the “D” Wykes said "I am pleased to have done it, the younger legs of Fielding had the better of me early on but it is my first season back on the track and I started to find my legs a little bit. I am really pleased to win the league in memory of my good mate Rob Jefferies. We rode together from the Leicester National champs days in the 80s and 90s and also rode Madison together.”


Ellie Gilham made it a victorious double for VC ST Raphael by winning the B league, Jason Falconer(Bournemouth Arrow/Hotel Collingwood) hung on to second place despite missing the last few weeks racing. Jason was seriously injured in a road traffic accident in early July but is well on the mend. Les Pick (Poole Wheelers) claimed third place. Full Results, photos & Racing Report to follow.(Racing returns to the Bournemouth Track on Tuesday August 14th with the BH Postcode Championships).

Alan MaCrae writes......In the final evening of racing, the A Group £100 prize for top spot remained firmly in the hands of Adam Wykes (VC St Raphael), Harrison Fielding (Poole Wheelers) had a similar clear water lead for 2nd but it was to the wire for 3rd with Leon Marshal (Rutrainingtoday) starting the night only 4 points behind Steve Moss (Bournemouth Arrow). Moss snatched 1 point in the 8 lap Scratch but Marshall took back this and more with a 2nd place in the 20 lap Points where Moss failed to score. A win for Marshall in the Elimination Race had little impact with Moss sitting tight in second spot. Everything was then set for a battle for 3rd spot Overall with Marshall and Moss going into the Finale 10Km Scratch on level points after fighting it out all season over 40 League Races. Wherever Marshall went so went Moss, both almost oblivious to the other race moves. With Marshall clearly the stronger, the final twist was that both riders missed the race winning move as 5 other riders moved clear. With them went all the counting race points leaving honours even, equal 3rd for the two protagonists.
At the top of B Group, it was all up for grabs. Jason Falconer (Bournemouth Arrow) and Les Pick (Poole Wheelers) were holding the top 2 places but, for different reasons, neither were riding. Occupying 3rd and 4th were Ellie Gilham (VC St Raphael) and James Brightwell (Bournemouth Arrow), the key question being could either do enough on the night to overhaul Falconer and Pick or would they, like Marshall and Moss, nullify each other’s chances. Up stepped Gilham with 3 race placings in the top 3 bringing her Overall Points tally to 62, just 3 ahead of the previous leader Falconer. Brightwell was less dominant claiming 2 race placings in the top 3 which was not enough to disturb the top 3 Overall League positions. The B Group £70 top prize went to Gilham with Falconer and Pick both reflecting on opportunities missed.
From a reduced field size in the Youth League, the racing remained as fierce as the vocal support and a huge effort by Rebecca Hurst (Poole Wheelers) proved to be just short as she closed the gap Overall on Ryan Hodgkyns (Poole Wheelers) to a tantalising 4 points after a tightly fought season. All the competitors justifiably deserved a share of the £100 of prizes on offer.
Attention al most the other League riders now moves to the BH Track Championships, covering Sprint, Scratch Race, Team Sprint and Team Pursuit with £100 to each winner. First event is Tuesday 14th August.

Local Riders,Local Races

VETERAN time trial ace Stephen Whitewick (Contre la Montre) was one of three riders who finished the A3 Cycle Racing Group 10-miler at Liss at an average exceeding 30mph Bob Jolliffe writes.......Whitewick’s time of 19min 40sec was however eclipsed by the rides of Kevin Tye of Data Team Allstars and Allan Ridler of Pedal Heaven Racing Team who both took full advantage of the warm conditions to whistle around to the tune of 19-20 and 19-35 respectively.Second claim New Forest CC rider Martin Beale (VC St Raphael) recorded his best time of the season so far with 21-04 for 21st place.New Forest CC first claim rider Ben Boardman clocked a new personal best of 21-29, an improvement of three seconds, but felt he could have gone a tiny bit faster.“I know I shouldn’t be disappointed, but I also know I held back too much in the first five, so definitely could have eked out a few more seconds. There just wasn’t enough road left for me to make up the deficit for my target time,” he said. “Three years on and I’m still learning about pacing . . . ”New Forest CC chairman’s grandson Matthew Golden (Farnham RC) clocked a time of 24-41.Other Southampton and Bournemouth area riders’ times: Dave Pickering (Bournemouth Jubilee Whrs) 20-55, Oliver Hitchings (Peter Hansford Racing) 21-01, Stuart Martingale (Sotonia CC) 21-55, Philip Evans (Bournemouth Jubilee Whrs) 22-04, Dave England (Crabwood CC) 23-37, Alan Sharpen (Sotonia CC) 25-39, Chris Summers (Sotonia CC) 28-27.

Track Camp Cancelled!



Great Britain’s Para-Cycling sprint squad have cancelled their planned 3 day training camp at the Bournemouth Track. The track is unridable when wet and the forecast is not looking good, perhaps the only thing missing from this great venue is a roof. The camp on the 31st July, 1st & 2nd August will now take place at the Manchester Velodrome. Coach Chris Furber was disappointed but said “It’s just too big a risk to take this close to the games” referring to the potential lost training time.

The Viking Tour of Norway





The” Viking Tour of Norway” provided the perfect endurance block for GB Para-cyclists, Darren Kenny & David Stone ahead of the London games starting in August.


According to the event website the 7 day Viking Tour is a Cyclo-Sportive but just as in the UK the impulse to race takes over. The Norwegian event even features a Racing Class alongside the Touring class, with each day’s stage including a timed section. Starting with a 4.5KM hill climb time trial on day 1 the 670 km week long “race” includes some of the highest mountain passes in northern Europe and takes the riders through some truly stunning scenery. As you would expect this far north the summer weather is not so reliable but this just adds to the drama!The longest stage in this years edition was some 159km finishing with a 10km climb in driving rain.

For Kenny & Stone it was simply about hard miles. The racing format ensures there are no” training camp easy days” and the course certainly demands effort and application.
Some 150 riders from all over Scandinavia,Europe and as far afield as South Africa contested the 2012 Viking Tour and numbers are on the increase.
The relaxed atmosphere created by the enthusiastic organising crew and the camaraderie of the riders as fatigue starts to tell make this a very special event. (All photos by Eamonn Deane)

Local Riders,Local Races

Highlighting how racing in the south has come on it was back to back racing this week for 3 consecutive days., writes Jay Eastwood (Primera/Specialized)Starting on Tuesday at Bournemouth Cycle Centre, Mountbatten Crit in Portsmouth and the Moreton Kermess all within an hour of Bournemouth.


Tuesday's track event was used to get my legs spinning after a few days off through illness. Will Stephenson and myself decided to ride it as training having spent 4 hours the previous day pushing relatively hard around the New Forest although there was a grey tactic for me to lead him out if a win opportunity presented itself. Some fun racing was had and a couple of results too including a win for Will in the final Scratch Race.
Wednesday was the E/1/2 at Portsmouth for which Primera Specialized were there in force. We covered every move featuring in every break until Ian Legg finally got away and lapped the field with Andy Hargroves (Hargroves Cycles). Still time for another break I jumped and was soon joined by Will and two others but due to some dragging heals we didn't quite gain the lap before the bell. I could see Toby Neave drilling the front to lead Ian out for the win however Hargroves had an ally in Justin Hoy (Felt Colbourns) both strong sprinters delivering him first to the line with Ian a close and well ridden second. I took the break spring for 3rd and Will came in for 6th. All 4 Primera Specialized riders are in the top 6 for the series which still has a few weeks left to run.
Thursday was Moreton and after a long day Moutainbiking at work the legs were starting to feel a little heavy. However, a large Scratch group made things easier and with about 3 laps to go we had caught the others and formed a large peloton. A perfectly timed lead out from Will (paying me back for Tuesday) delivered me to the line first with Steve Dring and Luke Grey completing the notional podium.
Ludgershall and Portsmouth next week leading up to the Southern Crit champs being held at Castle Coombe on 5 August where we again hope for another strong team performance.

Raymond Brown Track League 13



Alan MaCrae writes……1 week to go and the strong riders involved in the battle for the top 3 spots were focussing on the “race within each race” to protect or improve their Overall League position. As if being in intensive care less than 2 weeks ago wasn’t bad enough, Jason Falconer (Bournemouth Arrow) could only look on as Les Pick (Poole Wheelers) chipped away all evening at his overall lead in Group B, ending the night with just a 3 point buffer remaining from his previous exploits. Sidelined for the rest of the season, if anyone is praying for rain next Tuesday, it is Jason. Ellie Gilham (VC St Raphael) has a stronger hold on 3rd place, James Brightwell (Bournemouth Arrow) has a 16 point gap to close, so any points picked up next week should signal “job done” for Gilham.
At the top of A Group, Adam Wykes (VC St Raphael), Harrison Fielding (Poole Wheelers), Steve Moss (Bournemouth Arrow) and Leon Marshall (Rutrainingtoday) all had their lowest scoring night of the season. This coincided with the arrival for the first time of Neil Rutter (Swindon RC), Thomas Rotherham (Sport City Velo) and Gawain Bailey (Zappi’s CC), all of whom took their opportunities while the local big guns’ attention was elsewhere. The biggest potential upset came in the final A/B Group 10 Km Scratch where Leon Marshall slipped into a strong break of Will Stephenson (Primera), Roland Tilley (Ridebike) and Jay Eastwood (Primera). With 25 laps to go they lapped the field at a punishing 28 mph and, of the top 4 contenders overall, it was only Moss who kept a clear head to salvage points from 5th place, limiting Marshall’s gain to 2 points in the race, with both riders picking up 6 points on the night. Moss still holds a 4 point buffer for 3rd place Overall.
Handicapping of Olympic standard provided excellent racing in the Youth League, particularly in the opening 1 lap Sprint, where there was barely space across the track as 5 riders fought out a blanket finish. Overall is not cut and dried with Ryan Hodgkyns (Poole Wheelers) holding top spot overall with Rebecca Hurst (Poole Wheelers) chipping away 6 points on the night and leaving a 9 point gap for her to close on the final night next week.

'Time' to enjoy!

OK I know a lot of riders are reluctant to take there turn at timekeeping and I am no different.
I love racing, absolutely love racing and nothing beats the buzz you get from racing but every
now and then you have to put your Neanderthal urges to one side and take your turn to keep our
sport ticking over. Having said this though I have to admit to actually enjoying being the
timekeeper for the evening. Apart from the small lull between setting the last rider off, and
clocking the first one home, you are constantly busy and you get a kind of buzz just from the
anticipation of what times your friends and club mates might do? (after all you will know
immediately). The other plus side is that you can go home, eat your dinner in a normal civilised
fashion for once and get a normal nights sleep. So I encourage all of us to not be afraid of
giving it a go when required, you might find out you actually enjoy it!

Back to the evenings racing. A good turn out due to the glorious weather (well we've been waiting long enough) and a warm welcome to visiting Natalie White, Gavin Barron, regular visitor Dave
Wood and first timer Stuart McPhail. I think the bug may have bit with Stuart and hopefully we
will see him return soon (if you're reading this Stuart your time was very close to my first ever TT).


Ian Gillam proved to have better legs than his clock watching skills as he overcame a late start
to take the win and maximum club points with another impressive time (22:12). Greg Parker backed
up his recent good results with 22:39 for second and David Butt made sure the top three were the
same as last week with 24:19. All three were course bests I believe?

One final word for our club treasurer, Andrew Stevenson, who turned up to do his first time trial in over two years, he managed just 1.5 miles before puncturing and having to call it a day. I can only imagine just how frustrated he must have been feeling. Andrew you will just have to turn up more often!

It's the Hilly 18 next Tuesday, we don't get many visitors from PW or BJW to this course but they don't know what they are missing out on. This is possibly the most rewarding course you could ever race (if also one of the toughest). We dare you to try it just once, a bit like timekeeping you might find you enjoy it!

POWERHOUSE Gary Lock just failed in his attempt to beat Julian Jenkinson’s course record for New Forest Cycling Club’s seven-mile Norleywood-East Boldre circuit by 14 seconds on Tuesday, writes Bob Jolliffe.Lock had checked out the 14min 58sec course record prior to racing. But despite his best efforts to keep his speed over 28mph all the way around, ended up with a time of 15-11. Despite missing out on the record, it was still an impressive ride from the IT expert who looks to have an excellent future in time trialling.In fact his nearest challenger was James Bannister, who is also having a good season, with 16-53.Third place went to juvenile Hugo Walters with an excellent ride of 17-00.Rob Brinsdon collected fourth place with 17-20 followed by Geri Robinson (17-26), Andrew Hanley (17-30), Gary Plumb (17-43), Joe Phillips (17-44), Dan Mitchell (17-51) and Phil Underwood (17-59).Aleksandra Burlinson and Donna Shaw tied for 22nd place with 20-46 and pipped 60th birthday boy Bob Jolliffe by a single second.Others (NFCC unless stated): Richard Mason 18-02, Richard Rajski 18-14, Nick Williams 18-32, Julian Sheppard (Sotonia CC) 18-36, Dave Wilson and Stuart Grace (GA Cycles) tied with 18-39, Konnor Bracher-Walsh 18-42, Richard Wills 19-03, Patrick Walters 19-06, Chris Mills 19-47, Pete Hawker 20-12, Roger Bacon 21-26.The same evening in East Anglia, Chris Jolliffe clocked 26-19 in the Godric CC club 10.

Poole Wheelers/Palmer Park Track Day

Graham Hurst of Poole Wheelers write……..On Saturday Poole Wheelers ran a joint track session with the Palmer Park
Club from Reading here on the track at Bournemouth. As well as approx. 20
riders coming down from Reading we had riders from Portsmouth, Southampton,
Fareham Surrey and as far north as Luton - so with the local riders we had
46 riders all under 16.

We had 6 Qualified coaches and a few trainee coaches on hand so the riders
were split into 5 groups and a great time was had by all. I think it's fair
to say all the riders leant something so were able take something away from
the day and well as many new friendships being formed.
We also had Ric Jamieson British Cycling's talent coach with us for the
whole day so his input was of great benefit to many riders.

It is hoped this is just the first of many just days and the Reading club
have already invited us up to ride there track sometime in the future - date
has yet to be agreed.
