Kingston Phoenix Road Club

I rode the Southern Counties 10 mile time trial on Sunday and finished in a time of 27.20. I took a wrong turn but fortunately it was after I had crossed the finish line, but I did wonder if I had missed the finish line. I was on my own all the way round the course, as everyone else had finished, but thankfully the marshals and signs were still out, until the wrong turn. By the time I was coming back it was getting windy, there were quite a few puddles on the road and the traffic was starting to build up, which meant I had to wait at some of the roundabouts. But never mind. I'm happy with my time.

I'm off to France on Saturday morning with the family for a week so I will miss the next Evening ten and the Saturday rides. I hope it doesn't rain and you all get a good time.

Ladies Day

The CTC have nominated the weekend of the 3rd and 4th June as Ladies Weekend.
We have put forward our Sat ride as a Ladies Day , to encourage more women out onto the local roads. The ride is in the CTC listings and I have sent an add into our local paper, so we hope to get a good response!
But we need lots of our own riders to support the ride, especially our ladies.
The mountain bike ride will suit some people and the road ride others. I aim to go to Stoke D'Abernon garden centre.

Our barbecue is in the afternoon so it will be a busy day. It is also Derby Day!

Evening 10 17/5/06

Last nights ten was cancelled due to bad light. It was very overcast and all the cars had their lights on making it look even darker and so reducing visibility even further.

Next evening 10 is 31st May
Interclub on Sunday.

Don't forget to come out and support the Road race on Saturday. We can always do with more marshals.

Majorca video

Those who went to Majorca a couple of weeks back might recognise some faces in the video.

Beware, it struggles to play on my 1Mb broadband, so if you are on dial-up don't bother to click.
I'll see if maybe we can get hold of it on DVD or something.

South Western RC Randonee

The rain held off today as a few of us had a crack at the SWRC randonee. (see their website for details)
Two routes were available 45 miles and 90.

Riding the 45 was Andrew H and Keith, athough the latter did not sign on and just went for a ride around.
The rest of us Chrystal, Grant, Paul, his Father and myself had a crack at the 90 mile distance that took us all the way to Amberly via back roads and many many hills. Sadly Grant got lost and failed to get his card signed at any of the intermediate check points. :-(

Chrystal cracked on in an early fast group (I kept getting reports about how they didn't stop at half way and rushed through each check point). I wish that I had a shorter tea stop as I missed getting the Gold standard by only 9 minutes. Oh well there is always next year.

I did not manage to get any times. So will have to be added when they are published.

Charlotteville 50 - 7th May

Stuart - 2:4:24 (1st 50 so a pb)
Lisa - 2:54:12 (well at least I went faster than the 25 last week.)
Ben punctured at around 35 miles and had a bit of a walk back to Bentley (commiserations), so didn't complete his first 50.

Winner Laurence Harding 1:46:46

Not a bad morning: rain stopped overnight and the roads were drying by start time. Sun came out, not too cold to start, and the wind seemed pretty light - though I'd be pushed to say where it was from: seemed to turn into the wind at every u-turn!

Result of Farnham RC 10 mile TT 6th May

Hello all, here is the result of todays TT on the H10/8 Bentley Course.

Conditions were damp, the rain was light and stopped just before the event started.

Joe who was first off, had totally misjudged his start time and only checked his start sheet late this morning. Instead of the 14:15 start he expected, he suddenly found that he was off a whole hour earlier. A panic loadup and quick drive down, Joe assisted by Chrystal and Rachel, who had come to support us, got himself to the start line with only a minute to spare! Obviously the nervous energy helped him go faster than Wednesday night as everyone else in the field seemed to be down on time. The general concensus was that the course was cutting up almost two minutes slow, mainly due to the cold and lack of wind. (there is normally a gale blowing you home)

Joe        23:46
Florence   28:03
Andy A     26:13
Ann B      28:44

Event winner Ben Instone 20:00!

Well done to all.
See you at the South Western Randonee tommorow.

45 riders is a record for Frank, even allowing for the fact that he is timing 2 club events here, apologies to Andrew Bye (Fastest of the night in his first 10) that Frank got his time only by the skin of his teeth - a man that fast shouldn't be off that early in the field when there's only the one timekeeper.

If anyone can fill in missing names, I'd appreciate it for the full result on the main website.

We had an exceptionally good evening for the time of year, warm and dry and only a very slight southerly wind.

Thanks to Joe for putting the signs out and in; and Iain for a traffic count.
