D.N.F Ben Pearce

Ben's accident at Beare Green on the return put many of us off our stride - it is difficult to ride past when someone has obviously had a spill, despite the fact that there is very little that one can do if even if you do stop. I assume that most people figured, as I did, get back to the finish and then find out the situation "do I need to drive back for him?", etc.
In the event, our spectator out on the course - Jen - was able to scoop him up. He didn't seem too bad - mainly bruises and scrapes - but I imagine he will be very stiff and sore this morning.
I am sure that we all wish him the all the best for a speedy recovery and Good Luck to both Ben and Stuart in the Ironman (triathlon) in Austria on 14th July.

And not to be totally overshadowed, Ray was suitably embarrassed when we all sang Happy Birthday and presented him with a small cake which Andy had thoughtfully brought out.

Ann rode the Farnham 25 on Saturday and did a 1:11:29

Grant rode the Kent CA 100 on Sunday and did 5:21:14


Stuart & Ben Pearce should have been riding the Hounslow 100, but I don't have any feedback on that yet. Except about the tar and chippings!!! Hopefully they were both spared punctures.

Congratulations to Andy on winning his first Kingston to Worthing. A well deserved win, even if it was slightly assisted by everyone else falling by the wayside (Joe: away; Simon: blew after 30 miles; Brian: didn't actually make the start as he was in casualty with a dislocated finger - not to mention the dodgy back; Stuart: riding the Hounslow 100). You've got to be in it to win it, and then you've got to last the distance.

The day's stories: Florence did well in her first ever Kingston to Worthing, and her longest race to date. Ken proved that a class rider is always a class rider and remembered exactly what to do after rather a long time since his last race (30 years+), Jo and I had him in sight for miles before we finally caught him at the beginning of the Horsham bypass. Paul did a good ride also in his first Kingston to Worthing - only 2 seconds off Dad's time. Brian did his finger in as he got the bike out the garage and scuppered his plans for the day, although it didn't stop him riding down to meet us a breakfast. Andy reeled nearly everyone in - except Gary, who did reel everyone in - and rode well to win, despite seeing/feeling his heart-rate sag in between the good bits. Simon reckoned he was going well for the first 30 miles before he blew - so the split times should be interesting.
And Gary, who romped down looking a real class act, but had the indignity of an encounter with a pot-hole by the lights at West Grinstead, while attempting to eat something, as he obeyed the red light - sadly the pot-hole won and his nice new skinsuit is a mess.

Thanks to Ann for coming out a 6 in the morning to cheer us on at the Ace of Spades - you missed a nice morning for it, Ann, not to hot, cold, wet or windy.

Finally thanks to all the supporters who come along each year, to marshall, time, put out the signs, collect in the signs, and generally cheer us on. Without you all there would be no Kingston to Worthing.

Kingston-Worthing 2006

Remember: New Finish

Some of you may remember from last year that they have now put traffic lights on the final roundabout (junction of A24/A27). It was decided that in the interests of rider safety it is no longer possible to proceed through this roundabout in any direction - even the left turn that we tried last year. So the finish will now be between Offington Corner RAB and the "final" RAB. [Hopefully this will be over the hump and allow a slight descent to the finish!!! -Lisa]

Where we finished last year, up to the left & toward the golf course, there was a suitable car park - beware I think it had a height barrier - this will make a good place to re-group/chat before moving on down to the cafe at the front. The road name is Hill Barn Lane here's a map.

Start, as ever, is by the Coronation Stone (or the Police Station) in Kingston. Map here. Despite WC being marked on the map, it is not open at that time of the morning, and facilities are very limited at the start. Be warned.

SCCU Marshalling committments

To All Phoenix Members, Especially those who Race

The Phoenix are affiliated to the Southern Counties Cycling Union (SCCU). This enables our members to compete in any SCCU events. This is the good news, the bad news is as a member club, we are obliged to supply marshals during the year.

Unlike an event like our Open 10, when the organizer, ie, me, have enjoyed the support of the same helpers year in, year out. The SCCU organizer has to collect marshals from member clubs. Each club is given the quantity of marshals that they are expected to honour.

This works out roughly, each racing member is requested to marshal just one event every other year. Not, I think too great a task to ask.

Our committments this year are:

Event	Date	Current volunteers
SCCU 50	2nd July	Rachel + Chrystal
SCCU 100	23rd July	Pete + 3 others
SCCU 25	10th Sept	Jake & TonyT

Members who helped in 2005 are (non racing in brackets):

Pete M, Lisa C, Joe B, David C, (Frank C), Andy A, Mark M, Ron P, (Doreen P)

I would not expect these to volunteer this year

If you can assist in any of these events please let me know,

Frank Cubis

Wanted: Tandem Partner - female Phoenix member

In an effort to support Andy's aims of encouraging women racing at the 15m distance, I am planning to ride the tandem in the 15 on Saturday 1st July (day before the SCCU 50), what I require is a female club member to ride the back.....

On offer here is a chance to set a Phoenix Club Record for Ladies Tandem at 15m. (We might also have a chance of winning something in the event!!!)

Any takers......?

First offer gets the back seat, so don't hesitate on this one - if you fancy trying the back of the Tandem, now's your chance. On the other hand if you fancy a go generally (male or female) I'm always looking for a stoker!

Send me an email or text if you are interested.

Lisa

Update: Rachel has volunteered to stoke me round.

Ladies Day

My write up about our ladies day was not printed in the local paper which was annoying, so no new local ladies turned up!
The add was in cycle touring mag as it was their Ladies weekend of special rides.
So 3 ladies turned up from local cycling groups and enjoyed the ride. We had to go at a very slow pace indeed, so thank you all KPRC members for coming out to support it.

This week we have a photographer coming out to take photoes for the Surrey Cycle Maps so all turn up in Phoenix kit please.

Ann's time trials 2006

This is my first attempt at posting so hope it works!

I've already entered/considering entering all the National Time Trials, including the 24 hour of course! apart from the 12 (as entering the ECCA).

Others:-
I/C 25 11/6,
H25/8 24/6,
our 15 1/7,
SCCU 50 2/7,
Anerley 50 13/8,
? E91/10 30/8,
H25/8 23/9.

For my first 25 this year I rode the H25/8 on 13th May and did 1:16:05 so a lot of room for improvement.

My first long ride as training for the 12 and 24 was riding 140 miles to a training course in Leicester on May 8th in horrendously wet conditions for most of the day (and evening!)

My next one planned is on May 23rd to Lyme Regis (about 160 miles) where I'm hoping my parents will spoil me for the evening before I get the train back to work in the afternoon the next day.

For Those Who Intend To Ride The Next Evening 10 On June 14th

This is a 2 up Team Time Trial. Let me know who your intended partner will be. (Also may I suggest you let them know as well). But You Can, If You So Wish, Ride The Event as Solo.

Grand Fondo Gymru

So last weekend Chrytsal Joe and myself had a go at the first Grand Fondo Gymru. http://www.i-team.co.uk/
This event is a sportiff based on the Grand Fondo's held on the continent.
I can best describe the ride as hard, the hills go up and up and up. This is surely the best way to see Snowdonia. My favorite bits were the Llanberis pass and the last drag over Moel Y Feidiog back to Bala. This is apparently the highest road in Wales at 531 meters.

We all finished the Fondo distance 112mile at just over 8 hours, outside the time for the Gold or Silver Standard. But we did mange to beat some if not all of the Addiscombe. Top marks to the BEC who went sailing past us at the Caenerfon check on their way the Super distance some 18 miles longer.

i-team are already palnning next years event, so it is surely a challange for a few more members of the KPRC. I will be back and trying to get under that 8 hours.

Hounslow 25/5/06

Just for the record I had a go at the Hounslow eveing ten. Managing a Course best of 28.21. The winner did a 24!
The course is a lumpy and errr bumpy, but good fun. Starts every Thursday at 7:15 at the top of Holloway hill in Chertsey.
