Christmas Curry - Where to Go on 21st

To all of you coming to the Xmas curry extravaganza on 21st, I thought I'd better let you know what the plans are.

Firstly, I am sure you are all aware that the venue is the White Castle curry house in Ewell - based on the Chessington Road, very near to Simon and Jen's.

We have a table booked for 8pm. However, if you want to get the party started just that little bit earlier, Simon and Jen have kindly offered to act as hosts for a pre-meal drink at their house. Their address is on the member's list which were posted to you along with AGM minutes last month.

If you are coming to Simon and Jen's, please don't forget to bring a bit of jungle juice to help everyone wet their whistle.

Really looking forward to seeing everyone there. If you know someone who is going who doesn't read the blog, please also spread the word.

Cheers!

Wanted: Campag 8speed cassette hub

Pete & Daphne of the Cheam & Morden are after replacement parts for a Campagnolo 8 speed hub.
The freehub has given out on her original wheel and they are urgently looking for the simplest and cheapest replacement alternative - ie not changing everything to 9 speed. And fairly quickly as she's only the one bike!

I don't suppose any Phoenix members have got an old wheel that would be a suitable replacement for Daphne to tour on, but Pearson's have apparently offered to cannibalise a suitable hub.

Anyone got an old 8 speed racing wheel that is unlikely to be used due to upgrading?

Let me know and I will pass the message on, and put you in touch if you can help.

Redmon GP de Gentlemen

At last!

Good thing the organiser comes out on our Saturday morning rides - getting results from you lot is like getting blood out of a stone. I really would prefer to ride my bike than spend all weekend searching for your results online because you can't be bothered to tell me about another "crap" ride that just happens to have beaten a club record (O.K. probably not in this event!).

Rant, rant, rant......

Xmas Nosh Up on 21st December

Yes, it's October and I expect most of you are not even thinking about Halloween, let alone Christmas. So sorry to cast your thoughts to this festive time so early on.

Having had discussions with a few fellow club mates, we thought it would be a great idea to have a Club Christmas Dinner and what better and more traditional way to celebrate Christmas than to have a curry night! Tandoori Turkey here we come!!!!!

The plan is to go to The White Castle curry house in Ewell (very near to Si and Jen's) on Friday 21 December at 7pm. Basically, the more who turn up the merrier!

If you could let me know if you can make it by the end of October so that I can have an idea of numbers, I will then book the table.

It would be really good to see everyone there so I really hope you can make it.

My mobile number is 07799033696. Please text me and let me know if you can come.

Cheers,

Jackie

Ibbotson Barbeque

I would just like to thank everyone who came to the Ibbo Barbeque.

Simon had a go at riding the 'wobbly' bike, but like myself couldn't quite get to grips with it - Andy was much better, but unfortunately I wasn't able to get it on film.

Jen rode the 'Penny Farthing' - with Guy from Pearson alongside offering moral support and a hand when it came to dismounting. Even Gary had a go!


Jackie had a go at max-ing out - after lunch and on a full stomach she did a respectable 31.2 mph, but the winner was always going to be hard to beat with an incredible 42.9mph.

There is a more detailed report and some photographs by Paul Wright on London Cycle Sport.

North Hants 25 result

Hot off the press: North Hants 25, H25/8, 22 Sep 2007

Jackie Townsend 1:4:05
Ann Bath 1:12:46
Rachel Croggon 1:8:40
Jake Dodd 1:9:38

All have recorded their best 25 of the year.
Club Ladies Team Record twice, as they started in that order: 3:25:31 & 3:22:23

Joe Bertorelli 1:0:02
Andy Avis 1:6:26

Not an improvement on either of their times.

Sadly Jackie's amazing ride of 1:4:05 - the 2nd fastest 25 by a lady in the history of the club has swiped the George Crouch Tankard (Improvement) from Rachel, which gives Rachel the Consolation Trophy from Paul who was declared the provisional winner last week.
I say "sadly" because Jackie already has enough trophies for her wheel-barrow at the Club Dinner! ;-) However with the steady improvements she has made during the year she deserves it.

Consolation 25 result


Name Time Hcp Hcp Time
Rachel Croggon 1:13:26 11:30 1:01:56
Jackie Townsend 1:10:02 07:30 1:02:32
Paul Day 1:11:12 08:30 1:02:42

Joe Bertorelli 1:08:39 00:00 1:08:39
Andy Avis 1:10:41 02:00 1:08:41

Rachel stormed to a win in the event, with the top five seperated by only a minute on handicap. However as she is currently in pole position for the George Crouch (Improvement) Tankard and 2nd placed Jackie is about to be crowned Ladies Champ with a new record speed - just the details to be sorted there - Paul is the provisional winner of the Consolation Trophy, with a ride that improved his best 25 of the year.

However, if Jackie can improve her 25 next week by half a minute, without Rachel making a corresponding improvement then it could be all change over the trophies!

Today's event settled the final club events points trophies, with Andy just about securing his lead over Joe in the Men's points trophy and Jackie overhauling Jake for the Dar Trophy (Handicap Points).

Joe had an interesting ride when he realised that he'd left his race shoes behind, and rode in trainers on Look style pedals - he said concentrating on keeping his feet on the pedals took his mind off his back hurting! - but he was still fastest round.

Thanks to Frank for timekeeping our event before dashing off to Herne Hill to timekeep there for the afternoon.

George Crouch Mem'l Tankard: Rachel Croggon +6m 15s
Tudor Cup: Jackie Townsend 1:5:55
Brass Monkey Trophy: Stuart Pearce 1:10:17


Names in red indicate where the trophy has been settled - either due to there being no further qualifying events, or else an unassailable lead! Ironically, Andy is in the position where a win in the Consolation tomorrow would secure him the Men'sPoints Trophy which would then deny him the Consolation trophy.

And even more ironically, we have instituted a number of women's trophies in recent years to recognise the increasing number of women in the club, and Jake & Jackie have mopped up a good number of the open trophies this year as well. The men may lament the "disgrace" of conceding the trophies to the women, but where competition for the trophies is open to all members we aren't going to re-write the rules to keep the women from winning them (as I have heard tales of from other clubs.....).

The Consolation Tropy is awarded on handicap, so the entire event is run based on handicap. Because of this the handicap is sealed (so no one can work out who they need to catch in order to beat them on handicap). The club event points awarded are also based on handicap placings for this event. Also the trophy itself goes to the highest placed rider (on handicap) who has won no other trophy this year, which rules out certain members who have already secured trophies - see the next post for the provisional trophy winners for 2007.

FUNDRAISER IN MEMORY OF JOHN IBBOTSON

Photo: Jen Mitchell


For all those cake addicts out there of which there are a few!!

JOHN IBBOTSON ‘CAKE QUEST 2007’

John Ibbotson or ‘Ibbo’ as he was more affectionately known was a unique and very special person. Someone who combined his passion for racing at the highest level with a sense of fun which he passed on to anyone he came into contact with.

He raced professionally in Europe, mixing it with some of his childhood heroes, and achieved much in his short but action packed life. After having ‘just one more season’ in the UK John finally retired from racing in 2003 to spend more time with his family and start Fit-For, a thriving coaching service. From the outset his list of clients started to grow at an amazing rate as he somehow managed to combine the serious side of training to reach one’s goals with a sense of fun, an infectious enthusiasm touched all under his wing. His success as a coach was inevitable as he never underestimated the importance of enjoying riding a bike, of finding a good cafÄ— and perhaps most importantly, great cake!

Sadly John passed away on 27th September 2005 and left a hole too large to fill. The coaching side of Fit-For ceased but a number of his friends and clients decided to keep the name going and run a club in his memory……..

With this in mind, on October the 14th 2007, we bring you the first of what we hope will be many Ibbo Cake Quests. Three distances are on offer to cater for varying levels of fitness, all starting and finishing in John’s home of Walton on the Hill in Surrey.

Rides are denoted as:

Jaffa Cakes 60 km
Carrot Cakes 110 km
Fruit Cakes 150 km

Entries in advance, with cheques payable to: The John Ibbotson Memorial Fund for £10, or £15 entry on the line.

Entry forms are at www.Fit-For.com and must accompany your cheque, please

As a warm up event to get everyone in the mood, a fundraising barbecue is taking place on September 30th. This will take place in the field behind the Fox and Hound pub in Walton on the hill from 1.00 - 5.00pm. Food and drink costs £10 per head or £5 for children, vegetarians are also catered for. Everyone is welcome and with an increasing list of amusements and entertainment planned with highlights such as the “wonky bike challenge” and a “flying monkey competition” it is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face…John would have loved it!

All profits raised will go towards ‘The John Ibbotson Memorial Fund’ which aims to help support carefully selected young aspirant riders making their first tentative steps towards racing in Europe….

ECCA 12hr - Provisional Result

216 Jake
202 Ann
190 Grant (Trike)
156 Lisa


Considering the weather we have been having this year, you could say it was reasonably kind to us on Sunday. There was wind, but it wasn't as strong or as soul-destroying as last year. It rained somewhere on the course and with varying levels of heaviness for best part of seven hours, although as we seemed to keep drying out again it never really felt too cold. The afternoon was more pleasant, being overcast and dry, but it did tip it down while we were in the HQ waiting for the prize presentation.
Grant missed the northen turn back on to the A11 and managed to visit Bury St Edmunds, so his distance could well have some drastic revision when the final result comes out. But whatever they give him, he will certainly retain the VTTA award for first trike in the event. It looks as though he could well have set Surrey/Sussex and National VTTA records for a 71 yr-old on a trike to boot.
Ann's rough calculation at the HQ was that we had added 4 miles to last year's Women's team record of 570 miles, but the record is 573.731 and our provisional total (excluding the fractions) comes to 574, so it will be tight.
The Phoenix were awarded the VTTA team medals (the VTTA National Championship was incorporated in the event).
156 is my lowest ever - having got to the finishing circuit with only 130 on the clock, which gives an answer to the ongoing debate of "what is the lowest mileage that needs to be done to finish a 12?" Considering that Sunday's ride is my 5th highest week's mileage this year, I guess I should be satisfied.

Jake's ride gives her the 12 hour trophy, and I don't think it's going to be taken away from her now. Grant is currently leading the Club Championship, as the only member to have completed the distances, yet, and the 100 & 12 are both on trike!

Jackie has smashed the Ladies 50 Club Record - Jake is not convinced that the record was her 2:17:04, but I'm sure that no Lady has done a 2:14 before.
Grant didn't go as fast as he wanted, but has set another age record on the trike, if nothing else.

Revolutions 5-day

Revolutions 5-day 17th - 21st August, 2007.

Once again that time has come when I have to go begging.
The Revolutions needs your help to the extent of some 10 or 12 marshals per day plus a couple of lead cars, commissaire drivers, motor cycle marshals and neutral service vehicles.

The stages are :-
1 Alfold/ Kirdford area - 100 miles. HQ Alfold Crosways Hall

2 Bletchingley/Smallfields/South Nutfield circuits - 95 miles. HQ Bletchingley Village Hall

3 Goodwood - 1 lap TT then 76 miles Singleton - Midhurst - South Harting - Lavant (2 laps) finishing at Goodwood

4 Ewhurst/Waliswood/Ockley finishing on Leith Hill - 95 miles. HQ Ockley Village Hall

5 The Ashdown - 72 miles of all the hills. HQ All Saints Church, Crowborough.

Could you please canvas all your members especially those with no work commitments! Those using their cars on the race will re-imbursed for their fuel but I will need to know type of car and its registration number for these people so that they are covered by BC for the race.

Yours in sport,
Keith Butler

SCCU 100

Overnight rain was discouraging and over 15 of the 70 entrants were DNS, including our Jackie.
Grant went off no. 1 on his trike - pretty much as the rain stopped - and was also the last competitor to complete the course with 6:15:14.
I was among the DNFs (the first actually!) having barely managed 15mph for the first two hours and not managing to actually "race" despite trying quite hard. I didn't fancy a second lap of the 25 course, and figured that at the speed I was going I would still be riding at the thick end of 7 hours - I couldn't face it, and it wouldn't be fair on the marshals.
Ray stormed round in 5:9:33, as a warm-up for the WLCA 100 in two week's time.

Grant will claim a club record or two with his ride, not sure about Ray yet, or even if any VTTA records were at stake......

I've been up since 4am, so I'm a bit knackered!

Many thanks to Andy & Jackie, for placing and retrieving the Event Warning signs round the course.

Wednesday 8th August is the last Evening Ten of the year.

Just for the record : Due to the inclement weather, the riders were sent off as they arrived at the start.

Frank Cubis


Well that was a soggy evening. I know it's a bit unorthadox, but Frank wanted to get everyone on the road as soon as possible (and off it again) so rather than our usual practice of closing the gaps he just sent everyone off as they were (more or less) ready - instead of in order and at the allotted time. Apologies if this caught anyone out, but I think it was justified. It wasn't so much a dark evening, as with all the cars putting their lights on we all seemed more vulnerable - but at least those who used rear lights showed up pretty good against the car lights.
Not that it was a fast evening - in fact most unpleasant, wet and with rather too much headwind most of the way round.

Joe provided the cabaret by locking his keys in the car. The nice man from the AA arrived within 5 minutes of being called and was into the car in almost the same time - quite worrying from a security viewpoint.
I punctured, but it was slow enough that I managed to get round pumping it up (4 times - and over 3 mins stopped according to the discrepancy between my two watches), but I was hardly on a flier anyway....
Mark disappeared into the ether.
Grant missed his target time of 1:17:39 (I believe) and is now looking for a suitable alternative 25 to ride.

Thanks to Jake and Florence for marshalling the SCCU road race in the afternoon - which Gary won!

John was riding the North Middlesex & Herts 100, but after clocking 2:21:50 for the first 50, then didn't finish.

Anyone Up For The Track?

Some of you may have heard that at the last committee meeting, I raised the idea of organising a track day, most likely at Newport Velodrome.

From the enquiries I have made so far, it would appear that to make any track session practically and economically feasible the more people who are interested, the merrier. It also doesn't matter if there is some disparity in ability as the faster cyclists can go into a separate group whilst the less fast have a bit of a breather. From my experience of track sessions, you are not on the track all the time and usually find that you are glad of a rest.

So what it would be helpful to know in advance of organising anything is how many people are interested and whether there are any particular times of the year when you're unlikely to be free ie. you have a holiday booked. I'm due to have the metal work removed from my leg at the end of October which probably means I'd like to book the session some time in October or in the New Year (Jan or Feb). Would people be interested in doing a track session during any of these months? Obviously it's likely to be during a weekend.

John Capelin, who provides coaching sessions for the track at Newport, has indicated that there are free sessions available on either Sunday 7 October or Sunday 14 October between 9am and 12pm. It costs £30 each for the session but this includes bike hire and coaching. Would anyone be interested in attending one of these sessions, bearing in mind it would either involve an early morning wake up call or an overnight stay in Newport? If anyone is interested in this, we'd have to act quickly as he says that sessions get booked up quickly (whether this is sales banter, I don't know). So perhaps if anyone is interested in attending these October sessions (13 people minimum) please could you let me know within the next 7 days (11 July), which hopefully won't be too late to book the session.

JACKIE :-)

KINGSTON TO WORTHING - APPROX 45.4 MILES
START in Kingston just north of A307 in High Street. South of Apple Market just before police station on crown of small river bridge.
CONTINUE south over small roundabout (care) onto A307 Esher bound.
In 1 mile turn left at traffic lights into Brighton Road, Surbiton A243.
CONTINUE on A243 across A3 (Ace of Spades) through Hook, Chessington towards Leatherhead, bear left using Leatherhead By-Pass still on A243, under M25 to 2nd Roundabout straight on, but now on A24.
KEEP ON A24 to the FINISH. (****** Except Farthings Hill, Broadbridge Heath)
USING all by-passes, Mickleham, Dorking, Capel, Horsham, Southwater & Ashington By-Passes. Up Washington Hill to Findon, and Offington Corner Rbt. junction with A27 CEMETARY on the RIGHT.
AT this point you are 500 YDS from the finish. At this roundabout BEAR LEFT A24/A27
Finish at 30mph sign by Hillside Avenue, Worthing.
There are a number of traffic lights on the course. Be very, very, careful.

Do Not Stop At The Finish, but continue to next rbt, (with traffic lights), were 1st exit into Hill Barn Road, (NOT THE A27) there is a car park approx ½ mile along on the right.
We decided this is a better parking area than Broadwater Green.

****** London South insists (for safety reasons). You must use the slip road up to Farthings Hill roundabout and continue south, to rejoin A24 again, if you fail to do this you will be disqualified.

Breakfast is booked as usual at MACARI’S 24-25 Marine Parade. A few yards east of Worthing pier.

Good Luck and a safe ride to all.

Tour de France - Prologue Day

Once again we have had a kind invite from the Kingston Wheelers, this time for the Tour de France Prologue:

"If any of the Phoenix want a base to watch the Prologue then please see below.

So far we have about 80 of the Wheelers/Family/Friends coming but it is big enough for more. The only small problem is that there will be very little bike parking.


RICS will be opening the doors of 12 Great George Street - please note that the time trial race itself does not start until 1500.
Front doors open 1200 through to 1800."


Various hospitality will be available - further details from Lisa (by email, and I will be in touch the week before!)

I guess that we should let Lindsay know numbers in advance, so let me know if you are interested.

Fabulous Phoenix Fifteen 30th June

Entries are now coming in for the 2007 edition of the Club's Open 15 on 30 June.
Once again I will try and give out a more generous prize list to the women to encourage entries from other clubs. Hopefully we will get another team to pit their strength against the Phoenix Fillies.

There will be a prize for breaking the course record and of course the Prime is back!

(All entrants are now on the Spread Sheet)


There is still plenty of time to enter. Official closing date is Tuesday 19/6/07 on CTT forms.
I will close entries on Friday's post. So I can get the entry form printed.

If members are not riding please would you help with marshalling. I need lots of happy people to ensure that the event goes off well.

A few more added.
I am pleased to see that we have Deborah Percival and our good friends Keith and Tamar who are going to have a go on both Solo and Tandem rides.
Lisa has now given me a spread sheet (top right to place the field on) I will start to fill this in.
Andy 15/6/07

First of the Hounslow have signed up to defend their team award. Although they will not be able to put up a team of three. It has been suggested that I give a prize for Womens Teams of two. So anymore ladies from the Addiscombe?

A 18/6/07

There is now a team of two Ladies from the Hounslow and the Phoenix...Hooray.
Now if we could get a third Team of Ladies to enter (Addiscombe?)

21/6/07. A few more entries are coming in & phone calls of others promised. Shut off is definitely Saturday Post so I can get the start sheets out on Monday. The spreadsheet (Top right) is now in seeded order based on line 1 (10 mile time).
A

23/6/07. A few more entries have come in over the weekend. If anyone else wants to enter then they will have to give me their entry by hand. before tommorow (Sunday) evening.
I must congratulate RT316 who have been trying to get as many of their club to enter.

I still need marshals to help guide the riders around the course. So if you are free and want to help, please let me know.

24/6/07. Entries are now all in. Start sheet is posted up (see Spread Sheet to the right). If you spot any errors or if I have missed anyone out. Please let me know ASAP.
As ever I am still in need of Marshals.
