Happy New Year

Happy New Year to one and all. Australia's started 5hrs ago and I started my partying at hospital this noon. Nursing Sr. Jan on left is leaving today for a new post at St Rafael Hospice. I went along in my KPRC hat to wish her and all the staff in B1 Day unit all the best for 2011. Chocolate cake and Apple Juice! It was a good workout 27mls all told.

Pearson 150 Sportive - Sunday 22 May

This year I competed in the Pearson 150 (kms) and I plan to do it again in 2011. The entry list is now open for up to 1,000 riders and hopefully they will arrange for the fantastic weather we had this year to be cooler next year. They are also improving the signage and adding a few marshalls, which should mean that I will do the whole route, rather than go off course and do a reduced distance. The course starts at the Royal Marsden, as the purpose of the event is to raise money for the hosptial. The entry fee is therefore higher than the normal sportive and comes in at £25. The route goes via Merstham, Haywards Heath, Ditchling Beacon, Brighton, Dorking, Epsom Downs and back to Sutton.

Note that I have not signed up yet because the date of our Kingston to Worthing time trial has not yet been fixed and this could be one of the dates.

The Spring Onion Sportive 13 March - last few entries


This one will make your eyes water! 65 miles and 1400m of climbing! A pleasant but hard 4 hour ride taking in Leith Hill, Wisborough Green, Kirdford, Albury and Whitedown.

We have 6 riders signed up for this event on 13 March 2011, John, Nick, Richard, Ben, Stuart and me. I have just checked the organisers site to see that 389 riders have entered which leaves only 11 places remaining.

Two Below Sea Level


Maggie and I have just returned from a trip to Death Valley with our tandem. It sounds an odd choice, but it's quite rational - Death Valley is a National Park, which means that the roads (and everything else) are immaculately maintained, people only go there on holiday so the few cars are outstandingly considerate of cyclists and the weather at this time of the year is spectacularly good. Access is quite easy - direct flights to Las Vegas, which is less than three hours away, and all arrangements were made by Rich Merrick of Cycling Escapes who provided first class van and ride support from airport pick-up to airport drop-off.

Cycling Escapes offers 'challenging' riding - 100+ miles on some days and more than 5000' of ascent on others. We found the climbs hard - harder than the Alps - as the roads tend to be relatively modern, with steady gradients sometimes going on for twenty miles or more. They are designed for cars, not for walkers or horse traffic as many European roads originally were, so there's no respite. But starting below sea level and ending 5600 feet above it is a good day out (Mont Ventoux is 4200 feet of climbing); or riding for eighty miles without ever going above sea level is another interesting experience.

The routes were planned and supported by Cycling Escapes. The van is important, as for most routes you encounter no human habitation at all. Distances are large, and running short of water would be a serious mistake. The van and trailer are comprehensively equipped with spares, food, water and so on and wait at pre-specified 'SAG' points - about twenty miles apart - until all the party has passed, before scooting on to the next 'SAG'. Lunch is taken at the roadside - chairs and tables from the van - and the van is last in to the hotel, so no-one is stranded. Despite all this, it's lonely out there...

The trip is billed as 422 miles and 21,300' of climbing - we cut a couple of corners so did less than this, but we were still over 400 miles and 20,000' - not bad for November, and, with daytime temperatures in the 80s, all in summer kit.

So if you're looking for somewhere to beat the Winter gloom, the deserts of South Western USA are worth a look. We'll be back.

Sigma Sports New Shop

We went to the opening of their new shop 10 doors down from the old one. What an amazing place! Just like an expensive car show room! 10 times bigger than the last place, over 3 floors. Bike parking indoors, instant repairs for minor problems. Chill out room with live cycling. Coffee machine. Fit out room, massage room. Worth visiting sat as the team will be there.

sunday rides

The winter rides start at 9.30 now to avoid frost and be a little warmer. Horton country park car park as usual. Slower paced than usual as no need to train this side of Xmas. A nice winter social ride to catch up on gossip for everyone who does not make it to club night on thursdays. The route will be sorted on the day according to weather.

SCCU Women's BAR Trophy




I enjoyed my free lunch on sunday, and great to have loads of Phoenix there. Quite proud to win a trophy at my age. It came with a silver/gold plate on a stand that I keep.

SCCU Dinner


12 Phoenix members attended the Southern Counties Cycling Union mid day lunch and prize presentation at Rowfant House near Crawley. This was the last function under the present catering management as the lady is retiring so the next time it could well be a different type of meal. The main reason for such a large Phoenix prescence was to applaud Jakes achievement in winning the Balham CC Fleming Cup for the SCCU Ladies Best All Rounder competition for 2010. This was also noted as an outing for four Phx Polo tops at an official function which encouraged several admiring comments. The meal was the usual very high standard for quantity and quality. The raffle became a battle between the BEC CC and the PHX we won 5 prizes to 3!

Redmon Gentlemans

Having now looked at the official results I have to re-iterate my congratulations to Grant and Brian for finishing a very creditable overall 9th on standard and just being pipped by 5 seconds in 8th place by 66yr old vet C. Walton from Redmon. Jake and Simon were 18th so a very creditable performance. Even Morley and Andrew finished 31st so even a slightly disappointed me failing to beat standard was not beaten to death! If I observe correctly Redmon got the first place for a team of 3 pairs on fastest standard, Pearson were 2nd and KPRC 3rd so not bad if such a prize existed. Maybe we can improve on this for next year.

Redmon Gentlemans 2-up

Well done the Kingston Phoenix fielding a team of 6 riders. Fastest were Jake paced by brother Simon in a time of 42:42 (PB for Jake) followed by Grant paced by Brian 45:25 and yours truly paced by Andrew in 50min dead which is the feeling we had as we crossed the line. Grant and Brian did a flyer with +4:51 on standard. Jake and Simon +00:53 with MM/AH -2:03. A cold morning but a great day to ride our last event of the season. Congratulations to the Redmon for a well organised event and thanks to all helpers, marshals pushers off and time keepers!

Bec Hill Climb

Nathan Chamberlain VET from Redhill CC having a go! Andy can be just seen in background.
More action watched by Ann Bath, Pete Barnard and Mark Gladwin. Kingston Wheelers had a number of entries but non from KPRC. How about 2011? Maybe the BEC can introduce a new category of VET rider based on age standard for the hill! It was not a full field but there were 24 VET riders. Come on Ray how about you and me and a few more over 40's having a go. Mark you should do well and we could even go for a VET's team award. Total prize money was over £3000!
Two of the most remarkable things for me was the Lady above who appeared to be clad in Pyjamas or as someone observed "French Knickers" That's what I like about cycling it takes all sorts! The other remarkable event which Gary Dodd will no doubt be amazed at was that a young 15yr old rider by the name of Germain Burton won the event and beat the Catford winner Robert Gough, that morning! His time was just 2 secs outside the event record - WOW!!!!

Saturday Morning Training Ride

Millie 2.1/2yrs getting ready for the ride. It's important to start them early.
Maybe a third of the riders out on Saturday 9 Oct. It was a good turn out and the off-roaders arrived later. Some of the riders went to look at Speilbergs epic on WW1, no doubt more from Pete about that!

Bike handling showcase



A good example of staying in control of the bike in difficult conditions - the rear tub rolling off the rim. And a rubbish example of the backup provided to the rider. This all cost Dowsett a likely medal at the World Championships.

Hilly 12/Hill Climb Sunday 12 Sept 10

Simon how could you let Jake beat you by 3 seconds, you just weren't trying hard enough! Well done Simon Trehearn not only fastest rider but 1st Handicap! Well done Andrew getting 2nd Handicap, lets hope that is a good Omen for our forthcoming "Gentleman's Event" assuming we get in, watch out Simon & Jake it's standard time that counts! Commiserations to Rachel had I have known you were so close I would have slowed down by 8 secs then we would have been equal in the Hilly 12. As for the Hill Climb, I think like Simon W, I too must lose some weight again for next year, the thought of being beaten by ladies on a hill makes me fall off at the start!

Winner - guess the bikes' weight

The racing bike weighed 17lb 1oz / 7.75kg
The touring bike weighed 46lbs 5oz / 21kg
Total weight 63lbs 6oz / 28.75kg

Rick Opie came closest with a total of 63lbs; 18lbs and 45lbs

Well done Rick, who was the closest out of the 30 entries and wins half of the take. Not enough to buy a two week holiday in the sun, but probably enough to buy a bottle of sun tan lotion. Your winnings amount to £7.50 !

Thanks to all who helped today to make it a very enjoyable afternoon.

Two Up - Again



Maggie and I have been back to the Alps - the Alpes de Haute Provence, this time. We went on a CTC Tour led by Sheila Simpson, which was based on the Relais de Mont Ventoux, at Aurel in the Vaucluse. It is a very pleasant little hotel that deals well with cyclists.

Some of the participants drove - we did - the majority came on the Bike Bus, which worked well enough, but there is no doubt that a number found the 70k from Orange a bit of a slog. Last year, Chris Ellison met the group at the bus with a van and carried their luggage for them. That's the way to go, if you've got a choice.

The format was the choice of an easy ride or a hard ride on most days, or the option of independent touring. Most people did some and some - there were very few takers for the harder rides.

We ended up doing Ventoux twice. The first was the group ride on the Monday, with a screaming Mistral blowing and very violent winds. Having seen people blown down we walked from the Tommy Simpson memorial to the top, struggling to hold the tandem down. A lot of people gave up - it was very hard to stand on the top, bike or no bike. By contrast, we rode up on Thursday with another tandem and it couldn't have been nicer - warm, calm and easy riding.

All in all, a good trip - the Vaucluse is an excellent area for cycling with good weather, good roads and very little traffic. The food's good, too...

2010 Club Champion

Grant Pyke

Anyone know yet if this is our 2010 Club Champion?

Update: Grant has texted that he thinks he did 166 miles yesterday (on his trike, remember) - which makes him the Kingston Phoenix Road Club 2010 Club Champion.

Full results should appear here: http://www.kca12hour.org.uk/news.php#news15 on the KCA website, shortly.

Congratulations, Grant, riding all four Club Championship distances on a trike is quite an achievement, not to mention becoming Club Champion for the first time at the age of 74!

Just come back from a nice round trip to Frankfurt stopping off in Holland on the way back.
I only managed one day in the saddle to Alkmaar in Holland. A very pretty little town famous for it's cheese.
Here is a picture of the usual Dutch cycle complete with plastic flowers. Mel suggests that we adopt this as standard club kit for all bikes ;-)
The other pictures are from the impressive skyline in Frankfurt and of course a cheesy one from Holland again.

P.S. from Mel: They also sell these flowers in green, orange, yellow, pink..... very pretty indeed :-)

SCCU 25 TT

The KPRC Team minus John Beer who was still on course at time of photo posting our fastest time 1.01.56 and taking first handicap, snatching it from Nick Hostler with a 1.02.47. Well done Brian for getting the hadicap times to within less than a minute of each other except yours truly who was 3 mins outside last 25ml TT on actual time and 6mins out on handicap. You can't win them all!!
As an aside this charming lady while waiting for husband John to ride was adopted by the villiage hall cat who promply jumped into her car and made it's self at home while the lady was reading a magazine about Big Cats (zoom in)

Most of the KPRC Pack @HQ car park after the event. Wind conditions were deceptive and in fact resulted in some reasonable times. John Beer was fastest and should keep his spot at top of mens points table! Ray was his usual brilliant self with + 8min. 25sec on VTTA satandard time, knocking spots of everyone else. Yours truly crept in and won the handicap. Must have been the Cornwall training on the CTC Birthday Rides. Maybe it was also due to my first ride in my new KPRC racing vest and I did not jump any Red lights! Also the first time I beat Toni and Grant on actual time so a worthwhile afternoon for me and exactly one minute slower than Ray. Whatch out Ray I'm gunning for you! Better get your Tri Bars back on.
