Bank holiday monday ride

I have posted on the forum the details for our ride this bank holiday monday. Everyone welcome. I will lead the slow group as doing a 100 sun.

SCCU 10 Report

There were eight starters for the Phoenix yesterday and the first thing I am glad to report is that the cone fairy managed to stay away for this one after this race was cancelled mid-event last year and with us having to cancel our evening 10 earlier in the week. It was a lovely sunny and dry morning with the first rider off at 6.30am. The G10/57 course is predominantly uphill on the way out but this proved to be the fastest part of the course with a steady tailwind helping the riders up to the last roundabout. Some of the homeward legs proved to be a bit of a slog despite gravity being on our side.

We had some very pleasing performances with David Watt gaining another pb to be the first KPRC rider home in 23.16. I'm sure that by the end of the season on a good night he will be well under the 23 minute mark and have a 59.xx  25 mile time. I was pleased with my best ride of the season to follow David home with a 24.03 and Simon T continues to find some form, being only 16 seconds behind.

Lynda achieved a personal best too in 27.53 with Jake taking all the women's scratch points in 27.44, despite rocking up to the startline late. At least Jake had a thorough warm-up!

So that was another 9 points for us in the Rawson Shield and once again, we are looking pretty unbeatable for it. The next SCCU Rawson Shield event is the SCCU 50 at the end of June, swiftly followed by the SERC 10. Get your entries in via the CTT website. Hopefully see you there.

Riders of the Evening 10 #2 13th May - Please Read

There are cones on the north bound section of the G10/42 route and they are scheduled to be cleared away on Wednesday, the day of the next 10. We are going to hopefully run the event as normal but please be aware that I may need to cancel the event on the night if the cones are still in place or if workmen are still removing them at 7pm. Sorry I cant be more definite but your safety is paramount. Keep your fingers crossed.

New Mitts

Steve Hillier has secured a delivery of very high quality KPRC Mittens with leather palms and two pull off loops per glove and will be announcing the price shortly (around £13). Sizes are large medium and small and I assume XL but not sure contact Steve. I tried a large size and they are a good generous fit and very comfortable. Please contact Steve if interested and I am sure he can arrange a viewing/trial fit at an evening 10 or the like.





Steve is also planning to order close fit overshoes and would be interested to hear of expressions of interest to gauge the volume.

Evening 10 #1 Report

For me personally, the omens were written for this event when I found out that after parking in the Inholms car park a bird had taken a hearty dump on my car, my beloved TT bike and me. As I cleaned the greeny-yellow gunk off of everything the temperature dropped and my ebbing mojo dropped with it.

It seemed that I was not the only one afflicted with early season tt-itis. Rick Opie had not got his gear mech out of medium gear mode and Rachel then went and punctured before reaching the start. Along with that a hearty number of no-shows due to various reasons meant that we had a field considerably smaller than our first event last year. Still, 15 KPRC riders along with Phil Ember from Paceline and Rob Gardner from the Wheelers made an honest event of it.

The consensus seemed to be hard work on the outward leg and then stick the spinnakers out on the way home. My evening was complete when I found that I couldn't get the bottom 7 sprockets on my block owing to a loose lockring. I don't think it would have made much difference to the speed at which Phil Ember went past me. It seems that pretty much every night is a fast night for Phil. Our first rider home was David Watt, who is already starting to look like the man to beat this season. I think he's been cheating. Sorry, training. At 24.16 that was a great time to put down so early in the season. Russell Williams was second man home with John Beer taking both third place in the scratch and handicap competitions.

Jake Dodd started where she left off last season and put her Mallorca fitness to good use as she was first lady home with Lynda Gale and Samantha Pickup taking second and third spots respectively. Mike Morley took the top handicap points and Grant Pyke taking second spot.

Many thanks to Rachel and Joe for putting out and retrieving the signs, Andy for pushing off and Frank, as ever, for stopping the clocks. And a big happy birthday on the night to the evergreen Ken Williams.

The next evening 10 is on Wednesday 13th April. Names to me or Frank to get on the start sheet.
