KPRC Open !0TT 13 June 2015

Well done Ian D for despite the glitch on CTT entry for organising such a good event. We were blessed with good weather.
Congratulations to KPRC for taking the team prize even though this was by default of a DNS of the 3rd member of Pedal Heaven. (Who thought of that name I can think of better ways of imagining Heaven).
Unfortunately I did not get a photo of all the prize winners but I did manage to get a photo of the fastest lady Delia Beddis of Les Filles RT. I asked her where she was from and she said that the club is based in South London but that she was from Yorkshire where proper cycling takes place! Jake said hello to her and remarked that her club colors would match her new Planet X bike.

On a personal note I had an ambition to take the £15 prize for fastest 70+ vet but was soundly beaten by John Froud of Festival RC well done john. I came second out of 4. However even more amazing was Robert Gilmour from Hounslow & Dst Whlrs vet 60-69 Cat who annihilated the competition including Patrick.

The ladies get a special mention and photo for the excellent cakes provided and donated by many. Sadly only two photo's below.

KPRC Open 10 - Saturday 13th June 2015 - G10/42

A massive well done to everyone from the club who helped in anyway. In particular, chapeau to Ian Davies who promoted the event on behalf of the club. There were 10 members on the start list but a particular mention should go to David Watt, with what I think is a real breakthrough performance for him over the 10 mile distance, smashing his PB to be the first Phoenix rider home in 22.49. On top of that we won the team event with Russell and Simon T rounding out the team. Well done gents.

Club Championships 10 - Wednesday 10th June 2015

There were slightly more favourable conditions for this evening 10 compared to the last couple. Still windy but not as bad as previously in the day. It was good to see our big hitters out for this one, with Marcus just about making the start after a nightmare journey around the M25. Good for him that he did, as he romped to victory to take the Men's Club Championship Trophy, pushing David into second place, with a still highly respectable 23.43. It was good to see Stuart Pearce back in the fold, rounding out the top three.

Once again, Jake was the Women's Champion in 28.20, with Deborah Hurst taking the second spot in 31.45. We were denied seeing any more KPRC ladies taking to the start line through various reasons, but our particular thoughts go to Sam Pickup, who had an accident at the weekend and could not ride due to a broken arm. Get well soon Sam.

We had some new riders for this event. Congratulations to Dale who rode his first 10 with Fernando Guttierrez, although they had mixed fortunes. Dale was persuaded to join us by Simon T, both members of Epsom Triathlon club, and Dale rode a highly respectable 25.50, which I am sure he will be trimming down very soon. Unfortunately Fernando missed the finish, but having come along to the Open 10 yesterday, he now knows where the finish line is! Sharon Andrew, who is also preparing for an Ironman Triathlon in the summer, also joined us for her first 10 mile TT and won the award for 'most enthusiastic crossing of the line'. She will be riding with us again soon.

Thanks, as always, to the various helpers that make these events possible. Brian, for his excellent handicapping, Steve for putting out the signs and Judy for number spotting. I was able to give Frank a hand with the clocks and it made me appreciate how much work goes into getting all that correct. Cheers Frank.

Future Potential Club Champion

Well we all have to have a dream! Photo below shows Alex with work colleague Sharon Andrew. Sharon knows Ann Bath and runs in the same club. This was her first time trial and not only did she do well 32.47 but she enjoyed it! So maybe we can convert her from a PTT to a KPRC. Alex, Jake, Brian maybe let her know when the annual fee rolls onto another year so £15 until Nov 2016?

Championship 10 Trophjy Presentation.

Firstly well done Brian for close Handicapping first three within 14 seconds. Now you will appear in your Cat Suit several times.

First Photo & First Fastest Marcus Edwards 22.54
Second Photo Fastest Lady Jake Dodd 28.20
Third Photo First H/C Rick Opie 29.02 (H/C 21.31)
Forth Photo Fastest on Standard John Beer +4.57

Wiggo's Hour Record Attempt

Come on then, what's he going to do?

Nearest to the mark gets a bottle of plonk from me.

So Dowsett's mark is 52.937kms.
Boardman's record 56.375kms

I think he's been talking about putting the distance out of sight for some time, so maybe he's targeting the Boardman mark, but apparently he's been training at 16.9 second laps.
Anyway, all this detailed analysis, plus sticking my finger in the air, plus adding a bit for a wild guess gives my prediction at:

53.863kms
