New Forest 10 12/06/12




Packing in the miles for a seven-day Alpine event has not affected the speed of New Forest Cycling Club’s Gary Lock.He powered around the second and final 10-mile event in the Thorney Hill series in 23min 31sec to take his second victory and win the competition outright with an aggregate time of 47-12.Second place on the night, and overall, went to Ben Boardman who clocked 23-59 to make a final tally of 48-55.“I was pleased,” Gary said after the finish at the summit of Braggers Wood Hill. “Ben’s coming into some form as well. It was fun.”Third place in the second time trial went to Southampton Tri Club’s Peter Wooldridge with 25-03, who is ineligible for the club aggregate competition.So third overall went to Stuart Peckham who was fourth with 25-44 and a total time of 51-23.Steve Roberts was in close contention in fifth place with 25-56 which earned him fourth overall with 52-29.Other qualifying rides (all NFCC): Geri Robinson (27-01and 27-04) 54-05, Dan Mitchell (26-58 and 27-53) 54-51, Keith Bradfield (27-26 and 27-48) 55-14, Richard Rajski (27-16 and 28-00) 55-16, Phil Underwood (27-30 and 27-51) 55-21, Richard Mason (27-24 and 28-07) 55-31, Dave Wilson (27-31 and 28-02) 55-33, Konnor Bracher-Walsh (27-40 and 28-40) 56-20, Peter Weaver (30-00 and 29-20) 59-20, Geoff Weller (30-31 and 30-22) 1-00-53, Anthony Moyle (30-18 and 31-07) 1-01-25.Riders participating in the final event only (NFCC unless stated): Pete Wilson (Bournemouth Arrow CC) 26-49, Jon Brooks (Come and Try It) 26-28, Nick Tattersall 29-09, Sophie Needham (Soton Tri Club) 29-10, Phil Jones 31-06, Ryan Seed (Come and Try It) 32-13.

New Forest CC 30 Rescheduled.




NEW Forest CC’s 30-mile time trial on the P164 at Lyndhurst, which was called off because of torrential rain last week, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, July 17. Although it will replace a 25, the alteration will allow the club’s Best All Rounder competition, of which the 30 is a part, to be completed. Racing secretary Roger Bacon said the regular P304 25-mile course will be used and he will add the extra distance at the start and finish. He urged potential competitors to note the change of start time from 7pm to 6.45pm. Event headquarters will still be the North Kingston triangle.

Sarah Storey: London Nocturne & Capernwray Road Race!




.."The second Saturday of June has, in the last two years anyway, been the traditional date for me to start the John O Groats to Lands End route alongside 600 or so participants sponsored by Deloitte. This year however I was doing an epic journey of a different kind and hoping that my powers of recovery would stand me in good stead for a double header of racing in two of the best UK women’s races of the year.

With Cheshire Classic [picture on left after our team helped me win there] being my all time favourite event close to home, I soon discovered that I also thoroughly loved the fast and frantic circuit of the London Nocturne at Smithfield Meat Markets and the lumpy course on heavy roads of the Capernwray circuit in Lancashire.

With the help of my lovely team mate, Gaby Shaw [pictured on the right], I headed over to the Capernwray circuit on the Tuesday before the race and we did four laps, checking everything from road surface to corners and also working out how to attack the changing gradient of the finishing climb. It was a recce well worth doing and one that fellow entrants to the race, Claire Rutherford and Nicola Butler did at the same time.

Working for Deloitte on the day before the Nocturne at their impressive hospitality venue on the edge of Olympic Park, Barney and I were already based out in the lanes of Essex and able to have a little spin on the Saturday morning. After a leisurely lunch we headed in to London to find our spot in the pits of the circuit and enjoyed catching some of the support races that were held in the run up to the elite races. We also met up with the team which was an impressive line up of Belinda Goss, Sarah Kent, Elle Hopkins, Rohan Battison, Hannah Manley and myself. The plan was to attack from the gun and try and get the fastest speed across the finish line, something I did manage to hold for a short time, before getting beaten by just 0.4km/h. The field was strung out in one long line for the first few laps before gaps started to appear and there was a smaller group of 15 or so riders off the front. Belinda got caught in a crash on one of the bottom corners, but after a lap or two out to straighten her bike, was straight back in and we were still losing riders from the front group as we started to lap the back markers.

For the numbers geeks [like me!] my power trace showed 33 spike of power over 800 watts with the highest being 1,129 watts! Many of the in between spikes were also between 500 and 800 watts too! It is little wonder we were lapping so fast! [yes I did have the box correctly calibrated!]

By the bell lap it was a case of hang in there and take as many places as possible as the speed lifted again, I ended up crossing the line in 10th place and couldn’t have been happier, it’s not often I get to ride a race with that sort of power requirement, I spend most of my time working on best average power for the long races, breakaways and medium distance time trials. Belinda had taken a well earned 3rd spot too.

A warm down and Pro Mr recovery shake from CNP Cycling started the recovery process and then it was straight into the car for the 250 mile drive to Lancaster. We had pre warned the hotel we would be arriving after 2am and so when we pulled up at 2.05am, we knew we’d had a good run.

I ate my breakfast in the car on the way to the HQ and then at 10am we were in the fastest neutralised section I think I have ever experienced at a bike race! The Capernwray course is just short of 10 miles long and with 5 and a half laps to do, six times up the Sunny Bank climb to the finish line, it was going to be a war of attrition to whittle the group down to a manageable size for the narrower lanes on the back end of the circuit.

Claire Galloway and I were straight to the front with Claire [pictured right] keeping the pace high on the hills so I could take over on the downhill sections and make sure no one had a chance to recover. The group was strung out as we had hoped and by the time we reached the finish climb for the first time, Claire was back to the front and the group was noticeably a lot smaller.

Around halfway through the race there were just 13 riders left at the front and so Claire and I took a breather and allowed some of the other riders to take up the pace setting. The race got very negative at this point, with the speed dropping significantly as everyone seemed to be taking the opportunity to recover. My fellow breakaway partner from Cheshire Classic, Molly Weaver was again showing strongly at the front alongside Laura Murray, but didn’t have any team mates to help and everyone seemed happy to risk the group behind coming back to us. Sarah Byrne attacked at the bottom of the climb with two laps to go and this split the race up and by the top of the climb there were only 5 riders left. I decided to attack whilst as we got over the brow and took Tamina Oliver from Abergavenny with me. We gained 50 seconds in the first lap away and another 40 in the second lap, so by the time we reached the bottom of Sunny Bank for the finish there was no way we could be caught.

I had spoken to last year’s winner Dani King about the race and she had told me you couldn’t attack the finish too early, so I waited until I thought it was almost too late before sprinting for the line. It’s not often there is a gap to give you the confidence to get your arms in the air, but I was delighted to be able to and take the win after what had felt like an epic weekend of racing!




Claire Galloway had given me so much in the first half of the race and after her superb ride in the National 25 the day before showed her awesome powers of recovery to finish inside the top 10 in the race as well. It was a fantastic weekend for the team and the final UK race we will do before the National Road Race in 2 weeks in Yorkshire.

I am now back in the Altitude Chamber at Manchester Metropolitan University for a couple of sessions this week and also looking forward to spending some time with one of my main charities, The Children’s Adventure Farm Trust. We have their Annual Ladies Lunch at Mere Golf Club on Wednesday and I will be appearing on the catwalk for the Fashion Show!

Heffernan hews minute from “personal”New Forest Cycling Club’s John Heffernan was overjoyed to hack 1min 2sec from his PB 10 in the wind-blown Team Axiom event between Liss and Liphook on Saturday.“It was hard coming back. It wasn’t just the headwind, but there was a hill I didn’t notice going out,” said John after clocking 21-48, which earned him 14th place in a quality field.Winner was Nicolas Hutchings (GS Grupetto) who got close to course record with his 30-mph-plus winning time of 19-14.VC St Raphael pair Simon Tout and Steve Walkling were second and third with 19-51 and 20-11, while their clubmate Martin Beale, a second-claim New Forest CC member was 22nd with 22-13.Other Team Axiom 10 times: Terry Icke (Poole Whrs) 20-56, Cliff Rowe (Bournemouth Jubilee Whrs) 22-10, Gary Tuskin (Poole Whrs) 22-45, Alan Sharpen (Sotonia CC) 25-53, Bob Jolliffe (New Forest CC) 27-53, Chris Summers (Sotonia) 28-00.Walkling moved up to head the result board in the following morning’s Team Axiom 25 with a quick 51-39 to beat Kingston Whrs’ Steve Irwin into second by 55 seconds.

British Heart Foundation Ride, Help Needed

Gerrish Gray writes
Hi everyone After the debacle with the dreadful weather back in April which forced the British Heart Foundation into postponing their annual Dorset Bike Ride, the ride is being re-run next Sunday, 17 June. We at the Dorset Cycling Development Group help the BHF with this long-standing event by designing and sign-posting the route and arranging the majority of the volunteer help on the day (we’re not alone – other vital services are also provided by Raynet – the Radio Amateurs’ Emergency Network – and by a team of paramedics). Because this is a busy time of the year for local cyclists I’m anticipating a few problems getting some of the usual team of happy helpers out for next weekend so I’m probably going to need some extra help. I’d be grateful for a response from everyone please, and if you can’t help out this year yourself then maybe there’s someone you know who might be willing and able to lend a hand? Just reply to this email for simplicity – but phone me as below if there’s anything you need to ask or discuss. The full list of tasks and help needed is1. Saturday evening or early Sunday morning. 5 people to go around different sections of the course and erect the signage. First and foremost can the usual four helpers confirm their availability, or otherwise L, for this task please (I do one of the sections myself)2. Sunday morning, from 7:30am, HQ at QE School, Wimbornea. A team of 5 to help with rider registration in the School Hall. This is a rather attractive proposition as the main signing on is finished by 10:00am leaving you with the opportunity to then do the ride yourself or to go and help out with another task elsewhere. It might be necessary for one of the team to stay behind a little longer to deal with a handful of late starters … Instruction will be given on the morning before registration officially opens at 8 – it only takes a max of 10 minutes to learn the job Jb. A second team of 3 to marshal the car parking at the front of the school and just down the road at the playing fields. I already have an experienced security chap to head this up but he needs a couple of helpers. Again, the main task is over by 10-10:30.c. There is an excellent opportunity for a bike shop (or similar) to set up a sales/service stall to sell helmets, inner tubes etc etc to participants and provide service and advice to those who find that have arrived not totally prepared for the ride in front of them – there’s usually quite a number of such customers!3. Bike Service around the course. Service teams/people are needed to patrol the route (or position themselves at one of the key points en route) to attend to the needs of those who break down, puncture(*) etc en route. * Yes! You’d be surprised how many participants set out without the means or knowledge to deal even with a simple puncture – this is a charity ride that attracts all sorts of wonderful willing people eager to help raise funds for the British Heart Foundation and enjoy a nice ride in our beautiful Dorset countryside, but with very little prior experience of cycling J. (For those with a vehicle to patrol the route, it works - when you’re not already busy – by linking up with the Raynet radio stations positioned at key points around the route who liaise through Ride Control at HQ and are able to provide the latest information on who needs help where. Mobile phones can also be used but some of the mobile phone coverage around the route is pretty poor or non-existent).4. Marshals. A very friendly, easy task. Unlike marshals on races, you are not expected to stand in the road and try to control other traffic! Your role is to be a friendly face en route to give advice and help to the participants to make sure that they (i) stay on course; (ii) don’t go careering across busy turns and junctions without slowing/stopping and looking properly so as not to be a danger to themselves or other road users; (iii) give those who might be ‘flagging’ a bit of encouragement (or direct them back to HQ if they have fallen to far behind an achievable time schedule); and (iv) offer advice (and maybe a little simple help) where needed.5. ‘Meals on Wheels’. A couple of willing people to drive around the course early on and hand out lunch packages to the marshals to keep them going (the only reason two are needed is because the 25-milers reach one or two of the marshal points way ahead of those on the longer routes – although I suppose, at a pinch, one keen person could cover the whole route by going to the marshals at the early-start points first before going to those on the longer route sections. Expenses are claimable from our Group for those incurring out-of-pocket expenses. We don’t want any of you to be out of pocket for providing your time and services, so don’t be shy to ask for any petrol costs etc (or, in the case of task 3 above, ANY costs incurred that you have been unable to recover from the recipients of your assistance, plus a mileage allowance for all your mileage on the day). N.B. We can pay your expenses out of the small portion we receive from the BHF of the entry-fee part of what the participants pay (but NOT any of the sponsorship monies raised/donated). The rest of what we receive goes to provide grant aid to support local cycling projects (such as the school to whom we recently gave a grant to buy bikes so that they can include cycling in their PE lessons). In every other respect this is a pure charity ride, and traditionally a VERY successful one too, whose sole purpose is to raise funds for the wonderful work the BHF do. There are many other famous organised rides, such as the local Macmillan Ride taking place this weekend, that are also run on the same purely charitable basis, but please don’t confuse us with the ever-more-popular ‘industry’ of organised rides and sportives run by commercial operators, some of whom do also make donations to charities, but do so only as a percentage of the profits they make – I’ll leave you to speculate about the reality of what that might sometimes mean … I couldn’t possibly comment, as they say! Thanks Gerry Gray

Dighton.Icke & Jones in 3-up Win




Poole wheelers trio, Terry Icke, Gary Dighton & new boy, Paul Jones won the AC3RG 3 UP TTT on the P883. It was a good result for the Poole Wheelers who dropped Icke on the run in. Icke had ridden the West London CA 30 finishing 11th in 1.06.33 and was obviously feeling the effects.

Moreton Road Race: Ian Legg is the Daddy!! Results now added!




Jay Eastwood reports on a windy Moreton…….A low turn out in gale conditions but a win is a win! Ian Legg(Primera/Specialized) celebrated the birth of his daughter, Lily who was there with new mum Amy at her first race to watch Ian sprint to his first win of the season.

Jay Eastwood took second which should place him top of the leader board in the current series.

Primera Specialized were also rewarding their new eyewear sponsor Manbi International Sportswear who are supplying the team with Salice 006 glasses, a popular choice on the continent within the Pro Tour teams and now here with the Bournemouth based team.

Ian Legg Takes Victory in a Windy Round 3



Yesterday, after a wet and blustery day, the wind and rain subsided enough for Ian Legg (Primera Specialized) to take victory in the third round of the UK-Biking Moreton Road Race Series, just ahead of teammate Jay Eastwood.

Finishing in a group of 4 riders, it was a closely contested sprint between the 2 teammates, who gained the first 2 positions, ahead of Luke Gray (Baboco Cycling Team) and Mark Chadbourne (Ride Bike).

Steve Dring (Team Echelon-Rotor) was next over the line having been distanced from the winning group and forced to work determinedly by himself in the undesirable conditions. The remaining riders formed small groups and worked together well to try and cut the deficit, despite the continued high winds that made it particularly difficult for all.

The UK-Biking Primera Duo, of Garrett Hill and Keith Randle, worked together for much of the race & came home in 6th and 7th place respectively, holding off a group of three riders; Matthew Mildon , Sean Kenneally and Martin Aldridge for the remaining positions.

Local Riders,Local Races

Bob Jolliffe with his Forest view........
WARM weather continues to bring a rash of rapid rides from New Forest Cycling Club members with Gary Lock getting close to his “personal” to win Tuesday’s club 10 and Ben Boardman smashing his PB by more than three minutes at Poole the following evening. If that wasn’t enough, New Forest CC won the newly-instituted inter-club competition with Sotonia CC by six points on Thursday evening, despite losing by four points on the night. And you can add to that a clutch of gold awards in the Bournemouth Sportive held the previous weekend. Clutch of PBs in 10 The north-westerly that had blown all day dropped away on Tuesday evening for the 10 on the Lyndhurst-Beaulieu Road course.Times were quick from the start with first man, 72-year-old Peter Hawker, clocking 28-31. Sotonia’s Ben Rickaby, off number seven, did 23-42 for eventual fifth place; Geoff Weller improved to 28-56 for a comeback best, No 26, youngster Remi Bennett, finished with a PB of 31-22 as did Patrick Walters who was happy to dip below 28 minutes for the first time with 27-47.Ben Boardman did a “best on course” of 23-12 for fourth place while, starting two minutes later, Gary Lock hit top form to produce 22-35, just 14 seconds away from his PB.John Heffernan, who has beaten Lock in the past three events, pulled out all the stops but could not match his speed, finishing with 22-59 for third overall. The man to beat him – by a mere two seconds – was GA Cycles’ Ray Claridge.Other club 10 times (NFCC unless stated): Mike Barnfield (Soton Tri Club) 23-47, Steve Freeman (Team Feat) 24-07, Peter Wooldridge (Soton Tri Club) 24-14, Marc Darcy (Team Feat) 24-16, Stuart Ward and Matt Macdonald (GS Europa) tied with 24-53, Chris Grant 25-04, Rob Brinsdon 25-07, Stuart Peckham 25-19, Nick Williams 25-31, Tony Rendall 25-33, Andrew Hanley 25-39, Barry Wootten 25-48, Dan Mitchell 25-52, Peter Merritt (Come and Try It) 26-07, Richard Rajski 26-12, Phil Underwood 26-16, Richard Mason 26-42, David Wilson, Konnor Bracher-Walsh and Julian Sheppard (Sotonia) tied with 26-58, Nigel Gemmell 27-22, Peter Weaver 27-38, Matthew Golden (Farnham RC) 27-45, Stuart Martin (Sotonia) 29-00, Donna Shaw 29-02, Richard Castle (Come and Try It) 29-18, Adam Court (GA Cycles) 29-47, Antony Moyle 29-26, Tom Butler 29-29, Martin Balk 29-51, Nigel Aitken (Sotonia) 29-59, Aleksandra Burlinson 30-00, Simon Dobby 30-15, Roger Bacon 30-45, Bob Jolliffe 31-00, Carolyn Weaver 32-43.Ben “chuffed” with fine 54The next evening Ben Boardman was on top form rattling off 54-53 to take fourth place in the Poole Wheelers’ club 25 on the Upton course, a time which beat his old PB by almost 3min 30sec.Conditions were good for the mainly dual carriageway course with both winner Gary Dighton and second-placed super-veteran Terry Icke recording personal bests of 51-49 and 52-04 respectively. Third place went to Southampton University RC’s Tim Wallis with 54-16.Ben later said: “It’s fair to say I was pretty chuffed.”He put his improvement down to a three-hour Retul Bike Fit with Vankru Cycling in Southampton.Determination wins Forest inter-clubNew Forest CC won the two-event inter-club competition with Sotonia CC by six points on Thursday.Forest fast man John Heffernan could not be there because of a regular sailing commitment. But Gary Lock, who was determined to do his bit for the club and missed out on the Poole 25 the previous evening to be in first class condition for the competition, hit his target and took first place with a time of 34-38 for the 15 miles south of Lyndhurst.The only rider to beat him in the overall stakes was Hargroves Cycles’ junior international Jon Dibben, himself a former NFCC rider, who clocked 33-19.Sotonia’s Stuart Martingale, Colin Yeates and Gawain Young filled the next three places for two, three and four points with times of 35-13, 35-31 and 36-02.New Forest’s Ben Boardman was fifth with 36-04 and Stuart Ward sixth. Sotonia’s final team member was Ben Rickaby with 36-42 for seventh and juvenile Hugo Walters was the Forest’s final counter with 36-56 for eighth.When the points were added to those from the earlier 10-miler, New Forest CC came out with the winning lowest score of 33 to beat Sotonia by six.Other inter-club times: Stephen Wood (Antelope RT) 36-15, Keiron Batt (SCC) 37-22, Jon Dudley (SCC) 37-35, Mike Zollo (Soton Tri Club) 38-11, Stuart Peckham (NFCC) 38-21, Max Holloway (VC St Raphael) 38-22, Jon Legg (SCC) 38-58, Andrew Hanley (NFCC) 39-17, Phil Underwood (NFCC) 40-40, Richard Mason (NFCC) 40-53, Colin Crocker (SCC) 40-54, Konnor Bracher-Walsh (NFCC) 41-44, James Peckham (SCC) 41-47, Sophie Needham (STC) 42-36, Sean Withall (SCC) 43-41, Rosie Hillary (STC) 44-07, Angela Burnikell (SCC) 44-15, Jonathan Northcott (SCC) 44-20, Stuart Martin (SCC) 44-31, Julian Wherrett (SCC) 46-03.

Bournemouth Cycling Centre: One Year On

Press Release
Bournemouth Cycling Centre

Facility Manager Alan MaCrae looks back on the first 12 months.

So after 15 years of waiting for a track to be built, and 1 month after the 2012 summer finally arrived, how is “Track Cycling” looking in Bournemouth?
From the perspective of the Bournemouth Cycling Centre I would say “Very well thank you”. Last year the Centre used the couple of summer months available after the opening to introduce track cycling to the local cycling community but stopping short of any full on racing. Many riders have grasped the nuances of safe bike handling on the 34 degree banking and, with a little help, most find they can not only cope but have relished the challenge. There is quite a lot to cope with, but like learning to drive on the motorway, you just take it step by step.
Here clubs like the Poole Wheelers and Bournemouth Arrow have taken the lead in running Club sessions helping their own novice trackies take that absolutely first step. Support for younger riders also came from Richard Eastham’s Feria Sport’s Kids Club Saturday morning, proving to the under 12s there is nothing to fear. The Cycling Centre’s own “Accreditation” (the Centre’s own driving test) has provided that essential formality so all riders in open sessions know that those around them can be trusted. This is supplemented by the Bournemouth Arrow’s open Wednesday evening “Intermediate Session” to help riders take that next step.
In the last month, the Bournemouth Arrow promoted Track League provides one more significant piece of the jigsaw supported by a great team of volunteers drawn from across the cycling community. The invaluable support provided by Raymond Brown gives the organisers the freedom to concentrate on getting the structure of the League right so as to provide a range of levels of competition. The recent Regional Youth Omnium promoted by the Poole Wheelers was a timely example of what will be achieved here. Nearly 100 young riders up to the age of 16 from Welwyn, Brighton, Reading and Herne Hill gave ample demonstration of just how competent local riders will be after just a couple of year’s track riding.
To open the gates to the next generation of local young riders Winton College and Glenmoor School, with 1500 pupils between them and located right next door to the track are just about to launch their Cycling Centre of Excellence. Here the students can make use of the Bournemouth Arrow’s own Wattbikes as well as having their own fleet of track bikes funded through Dorset Cycling Development Group. The Olympic Torch goes past their door on 13th July and the whole school day is being given over to sport, one of which of course is the opportunity to ride the track.
Alan MaCrae & Chief Comm, Gerrish Gray

Progress is all about gaining experience in organisation, coaching and rider development. The League is now pretty close to getting the right balance of rider ability in each group to facilitate rider progression from Youth to B Group to A Group. The ultimate aim is to ensure the highest possible standard of competition for both individuals and clubs in the A League so, for those that want to, the step up to being competitive at Regional and then National level is achievable. The League’s weekly “Invitation” events, and the BH Postcode Championships in August are specifically designed so local riders, clubs and teams can “try out” and enjoy the competition those events that are included in National Championships can bring.
I would summarise by saying “A month into the summer, what can be seen at the moment is just the start, as a result of the background work already put in, track cycling in Bournemouth is on an upward path”.
