Jens Voigt "Shut up Legs Charity Ride" Still a Few Places Left!


There are still a few places left to ride with Tour De France stage winner and cycling legend Jens Voigt!
Jens Voigt is coming to the New Forest in April!

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride with arguably the most popular road professional still racing today. Two time yellow jersey wearer, with a team time trial and two individual Tour de France stage wins on his extensive palmares, Jens Voigt www.radioshackleopardtrek.com shows no signs of slowing down, as a great stage win in last years US Pro Challenge proved. For anyone who has enjoyed watching his fighting spirit, this is a ride not to miss.

After eighteen months of planning and a few headaches, a charity ride in the New Forest for www.epilepsysociety.org.uk will take place in the Spring of 2013. Ride organizer and local fundraiser Stuart Grace (GA Cycles) is the father of Amy, who has suffered with Epilepsy, ADHD and learning difficulties for 15 years. Throughout their long-standing friendship with Jens, Stuart and Amy have received incredible support, and he has regularly helped to raise money for a very worthy cause. Somehow Jens found some time in his busy racing schedule and immediately agreed to come over and ride the event, saying "I'm looking forward to riding in the New Forest and raising a good deal of money for Amy's charity.”

How to participate :

1)
Be an individual/company sponsor (minimum £250) and meet Jens the night before the event at an exclusive social gathering.

2)
Ride the event, which will cover approximately 50 miles with 200 riders in groups of 16, leaving at five-minute intervals. Stuart and Jens will leave with the first group and drop back to join the following groups at designated intervals. Groups will ride at about 16-18mph, and be small enough that everyone has the chance to ride with Jens.

Entry to the ride will cost £100, and includes free food and drink in the event headquarters after the ride, an item signed by Jens, and automatic entry in to a prize draw of cycling goodies from numerous local retailers and Trek. Of course Jens will be available for a chat throughout.
Payment is to be made no later than 14 days before the event, or your place will be offered to another applicant. You will then receive a wristband that will give entry to the secure ride compound. No wristband, no entry, so don't forget it!

To limit the risk of gatecrashers, the event location will only be sent out 48hrs before the event. It’s in your own interest to keep it to yourself!

3)
Non-riders can apply for a £20 wristband that entitles you to meet Jens back in the headquarters after the ride. Amy will have photos of Jens available, which he will sign for a donation to her Wishing Well. This wristband will not entitle you to the free signed item or prize draw.

This is a unique chance to meet a legendary super domestique, and raise money for a good cause. A communication to accepted riders on March 1st will publicise more details of the event. Please understand that Jens will have to leave immediately after the post-ride event for his next races in Europe and the USA, but we are extremely grateful to team RadioShack for letting him come to the UK during his racing season.

All riders are expected to have personal insurance either with the BCF or CTC as the organisers will not be held responsible for any accidents or injuries incurred during the day.

Cyclo-Cross: Gray Returns from Belgium


Luke Gray has spent another season riding Cyclo-Cross in Belgium, father Rob writes about his final race of the 2012/13 season…………….
The B Post Internationale Sluitingsprijs at Oostmalle Belgium was the last race of the International cyclo-cross season on Sunday. Last weeks Superprestige race at Middlekerke was a very dry sandy grass affair, but Sundays race course at -2 had a covering of snow which soon wore away on the racing line, but the course remained dry underneath the snow throughout the race.

Riding on dry (grip) tyres at 22 psi Luke had a slow start to the race, but soon caught fellow Brit Hugo Robinson. For 3 laps Luke and Hugo kept changing position, "as soon as I passed him I would make a small mistake like going off the flattened line through the sandy sections, this happened a few times. If you keep your wheels in the flatten tracks of someone else, it is much faster to ride. But once out into the soft deep sand your speed slows very quickly and it’s much harder to keep control as the bikes steering takes on a mind of its own”.
Once Luke finally dropped Hugo he made good progress and caught a small bunch down the tarmac start/finish straight and manage to go pass them just before they entered the woody section. There were a set of planks here too, but Luke said he decided not to bunny hop these as they were very close, so played it safe and jumped off the bike and ran across them. It was another good result here, 26th the same position as last weekend at Middlekerke on the Belgium coast.

Luke returns home on Wednesday after another hard season of cross racing in Belgium over the winter. He will now take a few weeks break before returning to racing once the weather gets better.

Springtime Pursuit Rnd 2: Gilham Settles for Second!!



There wasn’t much Spring in the air in Devon on Saturday morning for the second round of the Spring time pursuit, writes Dave Gilham……………It was far more like mid-winter with the temparatures barely getting above freezing and accompanied with light snow flurries. Ellie Gilham (VC St Raphael) also found herself up against 2 experience riders from trade teams as well as the weather. The race was split into 3 groups with Ellie starting in the scratch group and having to chase hard to close the 3 minute advantage to the first group.
The gap was closed at just over half distance around 18miles. All attacks were quickly chased down and like the previous week the race finished in a sprint.
Nobody wanted to open the sprint so Ellie took it on about half way up the final climb and dropped everybody except Natalie Grinczer (University of Birmingham) who slipped past her just before the line to take the win with Ellie finishing second.
This sets up a thrilling final round next week with both Ellie and Natalie tied in first place for the overall series.

Change of Name for Primera-Sports.Com!


Primera Specialized cycle team will now be racing under Primera-Sports.Com. Although the team will continue to ride Specialized bikes in 2013 the change in name means the team are not limited to a single brand.
Primera-Sports offer a full range of products from many other leading manufactures which can now be ridden and tested by the team.
The kit colour has been changed from Black to Red helping the team stand out in the Peloton and make for a safer presence on the road whilst training. The 2013 bike of choice is the versatile Specialized Tarmac SL4, complete with Shimano Ultegra groupset on Enve carbon wheels. The lightweight frame is perfect for the hiller courses whilst remaining stiff enough for the sprints.
Primera-sports.com has already been in action this season with junior Mitch Webber riding the season opening Perfs Pedal race. Webber went on to take second place behind Andy Hargroves (Felt-Colbourne-Hargroves) at the Mountbatten circuit’s event in Portsmouth. Along with Jason Duckworth, Webber will ride the 41st Severn Bridge Road Race on Sunday 3rd March. Jason Eastwood has Castle Coombe and Ham Hill marked up on his racing calendar. Ian Legg, like last year, will concentrate on Mountain Bike racing before teaming up with Eastwood at the Ham Hill Road Race on April 7th.

Winter work pays off for Gilham!


Ellie Gilham (VC ST Raphael/Waites Contracts) got her season off to the perfect start with victory in the springtime pursuit in South Devon. Gilham has been punching above her weight in training this winter and the hard work is paying off. Riding with the local chain gang has been tough, she does not always hang on but by the time she is dropped the quality work is done. Gilham proved strongest in the uphill finish, powering across the line as others faded. The seventeen year old was out for 3 ½ hours the following day with father Dave sitting on her wheel and she will be back in Devon next week.

Off Camber XC Winter Series Rnd 5, Report, Results, Pictures


Paul Hopkins (Merida) won round 5 of the OFF—CAMBER XC series but was made to fight all the way for his latest victory. Seventeen year old James Davey (Hot Pursuit Cycles) took the race to Hopkins, putting the national veterans champion under pressure from the start.

The young downhiller from Exeter, in his first year of cross-country racing, showed no fear as he opened up a gap of 16 seconds on Hopkins after the first of three 4.8 mile laps. Shaftesbury-based Hopkins is not used to chasing but he was forced to dig deep to keep Davey in sight through the woods. Roland Tilley (Ride.co.uk), in third, was already over three minutes down. The course at Inside Park near Blandford Forum is never really technical, mostly broad woodland trails and single track snaking through thIS off-season caravan park.

However, plenty of mud & tree roots require attention and the right line is essential. Hopkins used his experience on the more demanding sections to close the gap on Davey to just 1 second going into the final lap. The youngster had rattled the veteran but perhaps youthful enthusiasm got the better of Davey. Trying to put the pressure on he got his line wrong and came down hard. Hopkins got his line right and rode away to his third victory in the series, securing the overall title with one round remaining. Davey is an exciting talent and a name to keep an eye on this season. Tilley had an early battle with Andy Parsons (Off Camber) but proved too strong as the race wore on. The biggest field of the series so far, 73, enjoyed the sunshine and the snowdrops in the woods promised spring is on the way.

Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers 100 Mile Reliability Trial


Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers popular series of reliability trials concludes this Sunday (Feb 17) with the 100 mile event. (The 75 mile event cancelled in January will now be run on Sunday 10th March.) The course goes all over Dorset and as well as the 100 mile route there is a shorter 100KM trial as well. 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
08:30
09:00
09:30
The first riders off are allowed 8 hours to complete the course with the fastest group expected to return in 7 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.

Super Marshall's Accreditation Course!



Organiser of last years Purbeck Road Race Dave Wade (left) writes………..With support from the Police Service in England & Wales (ACPO LEVEL)British Cycling are very keen to deploy Super Marshalls at Road Race's and other sporting events. This scheme was piloted in Wales and Essex last year and now the foundations are in place to develop the scheme further.
To enlighten you all, a super Marshall is an accredited person who is authorised to stop traffic during an event when the need arises. If you think of a Lollipop Person at a school crossing then this is the exact same as a super Marshall at a sporting event. High Viz jacket and a lollipop that say's STOP.
To be accredited you need to do a short course of about 2 hours. Once you have done the course then you are registered as a super Marshall and would volunteer to be available at sporting events local to yourself. Dorset, at Police and County level are keen supporters of this scheme
A course will soon be available in our region if there are enough volunteers.
Any volunteers please????
If interested then please email me david.wade2@homecall.co.uk
Dave Wade has some exciting plans for this year, the two day Hardy Tour in August promises to be a great event. Dave will need plenty of marshalls for this race so why not get accredited and help support bike racing in Dorset?

Club News :New Forest CC



WHILE the majority of New Forest Cycling Club’s racing cyclists have been clocking up the miles, John Heffernan has been keeping the speed in his legs on the indoor track at Calshot. Bob Jolliffe writes……………
Veteran John, from Brockenhurst said that with one week left of the winter track series to go he had “an unassailable lead” in the B League, and he would like to see more clubmates taking part next winter.
“We have five to eight races a week from 700m sprints to 5km points races. I usually do better in the longer races with a fairly straightforward tactic of 'go from the gun'," he said.
“It doesn't always work, the sprinters often get the better of me, but it has earned me enough points to win the B league with a week to spare.
“The races are as much about tactics as they are about speed, though it is much easier to be a tactical genius if you have good legs! The atmosphere is very relaxed with a strong youth category.
“It would be good to see some more NFCC riders there next year. It certainly beats riding in the rain and snow in December and January.”

John amassed 72 points from his six league outings beating second-placed Mark Moss (Poole Whlrs) by 28 points.

New Forest CC clubmate Andy Betteridge was doing well with 17 points from two meets but was forced out through injury, while second claim Forest member Rob Ellis (VC St Raphael) was fourth.

Late call for Charity Reliability Trial
CLOCK up the miles, see some super scenery and help send transplant athletes off to the World Games in South Africa this summer by taking part in New Forest CC’s Charity Reliability Trials on Sunday (FEB 17).
There are 50-mile and 75-and-a-bit-mile routes from East Boldre Village Hall near Beaulieu at 9am and 9.30am. Choose between 50 in 3hrs, 3-30 or 4hrs and 75 in 4hrs, 4-30 or 5hrs. Entries, £5, will be taken from 8.15am.
Organiser is Bob Jolliffe, a TSUK GB&NI transplant team member who will be taking part in the time trial and road race in Durban in late July. Contact him on 01425 616525 or email bob.jolliffe@btinternet.com for more information.

Two days in Spring! Images from Perfs & Ludgershall

Early season racing in the UK can be pretty trying, wind, rain, snow and ice all conspire to make it a sport for “hard men”.



The will and determination of organisers, the unquestionable commitment from riders, and the optimistic stoicism of Marshalls and race officials are clearly on display.




Cyclists do not lie down easily!






Tough days are talked about fondly long after the suffering has been forgotten. Overshoes and grit in your eyes will be long forgotten,long, sunny days lie ahead!
