Three members of the WSW & TC were in action at the Winter Series Round 3. The 7.5 mile course was dry and fast in some places, slow and sticky in others – in other words varied. It was bitterly cold morning – zero degrees as competitors lined up on the start line.

Jeremy Waterson recorded his best result finishing 40th out of 135 riders in the 2 hour race completing 4 laps. Matthew Eaglen came in 79th in the same category but could have finished higher had he not started 10 minutes late due to driving back home to fetch forgotten SPD shoes! In the 40+ category, Paul Barry finished 78th from 138 riders. In the 4 hour event, second claim member, Richard Muchmore finished in an excellent 11^th place.

We are planning to run two off-road club rides on 11^th December. The will be the Regular ride and a ‘lite’ version.

The regular club run starts at 9.00 and runs through to around 12.00 with an optional stop for coffee and cake at one of the cafés afterwards. The terrain will be mainly off-piste and will be technically challenging in places. The pace will be reasonable.

There will also be a ‘lite’ version of the off-road club run starting at 11.00 to 12.30 where the pace will be gentler with a focus of developing bike handling skills and also an introduction into mountain biking. We may use the Red route. There will also be an optional stop coffee and cake afterwards.

Roads and Tracks – a muddy experience

Sunday, 15 November 2009 20:36 |

Written by Barry Denny |

On what turned out to be a pleasant November day forty eight riders tackled our ‘Roads and Tracks’ event on November 15. Starting and finishing at Denny Bros factory and with a choice of 20 or 35 mile routes, the event was non-competitive, but nevertheless a ‘race’ for some, and with an optional timed test that the majority decided to have a go at.

The home club accounted for 13 of the entries including four youngsters, with contingents from other local clubs, notably Mildenhall, Norwich and Stowmarket, and with unattached riders from Clacton, Colchester and various Norfolk towns.

The route took riders through Rougham, Barton, Livermere, Ixworth, Honington, Ampton and Fornham by a mixture of minor roads, bridleways and byways and some fairly formidable muddy sections, notably near the pig farm up at Rymer Barn. Most riders coped OK with the navigation, aided by direction arrows at all important junctions, but Richard Stiff, who was at one point four minutes ahead of the field, took a wrong turn, punctured and eventually came in 15 minutes down! There were also those that wanted to take in more steadily, and they enjoyed it too, and got equally as muddy!

Thanks to all the club stalwarts who helped run the event, including Richard 'Tom Tom' Seggar, Richard and Robin Lines, Geoff Byne and Margaret Byne, Don and Brenda Picking, Neville Pettitt, Peter Heath, Tony Panting, Stephen and Polly Hill, Ron Fisher and not forgetting Helen and Hannah Ballam who did a great job on the registration desk!
