Dundee 2 day

This was meant to be my peak race of the year, but injury and illness made it only my 2nd race of 2011, this was not the best preparation for what I was to find was a tough event.

http://newsite.dundeethistle.co.uk/node/801

Stage 1 was a prologue up THE LAW, Dundee's extinct (I think) volcano. This was never going to be easy, with a winding course starting into a headwind...more headwind was to come...then a brief downhill section then up a sharp left onto the Law itself. This is where the course ramps up till the summit and the finish. Let's just say I could have vomited and fainted by the end. With a time of 4:56 I was 41 secs behind the winner Liam Cowie (Endura Pedals) at 4:15.

Stage 2 was a flat road circuit just outside Dundee. However on the way out to the course the extreme crosswinds caused the riders to cross the white lines several times, an unknown to all was the presence of an unmarked police motorbike, he promptly halted the race and cancelled the stage. The organisers did a great job of securing the next days racing with an increased neutral section right up to the course. It must be said that it was the riders fault crossing the lines.

Stage 3 well what can I say, it was hard enough getting out to the course, the crosswinds were extreme once again and if anything worse than the previous day. We made it to the course and the race set off along the long rolling side of the course, then up the first climb through Collace. Riders were already being dropped like flies and each successive climb a few more dropped away. By the time we reached the main I was near the back and thought I heard a slow puncture, but it seemed to be okay. The bunch shattered to pieces going up Tullybaccart with a group of 30 making the decisive break. From here there was no getting back, but I was resolved to make as much ground back as I could and looked ahead for the riders in one's and two's to get back on with. It was along the return leg to the climbs that destroyed most riders desire to finish, on your own it was a case of 10mph with no others to share the load or the take the wind. I managed to claw back to a junior rider only for confirmation that I had a rear flat. So I stopped and thought it was game over, however the 2nd service car pulled up next to me and gave me a spare wheel. So from here I just worked my way to the end, working as hard as I could. No way was I going to pack in.

Speeds on the rear side of the course were fast, 40 mph in the 53/11 with ease, then descents of 50 mph with strong crosswinds.

So I finished 29th and had the dubious honour of being the last finisher, however at least I did finish what was one of the hardest races I've ever done.

A final note about the race, it was well organised and I was met with a warm reception. My dad used to ride with the club Dundee Thistle so it was fitting that I took part.

Hello Century!

Well where to start really ! i left my last blog hoping for a good ride in a local race called Baal. Quite the opposite happened, i started the race and as i was moving up the bunch a French rider touched wheels in front of me and before i new it i hit the deck at around 45kph! Screaming on the floor! The Belgian ambulance staff ran out and instead of coming to me they decided to check my bike to see if it was ok! I soon realised i was the lucky rider out of the 3 who had hit the deck because the French guy had broken his collarbone and snapped his frame in halfand the other guy had blood literally squirting out of his head...We were took to hospital and i had road rash all over my body but was x-rayed and was given the all clear! I had cracked my frame however! So my manager took me to this random Belgian mans house who somehow managed to fix my frame for the little price of 50 euros !

I had a few days off the bike but was back and ready to go by the end of the week! And my new personal sponsor Mark Mcnally supplied me with one of his team helmets (mine was mashed in the crash!).

To be honest im not gonna talk much about racing because honestly there is not much to say! and my new given nickname from my dad “grape” which refers to me being always in the bunch has seemed to be justified. Ive done a few cobbled races also and can now officially confirm i will not be a man of the classics! I seem to be doing better in the races with crosswinds which is “in the gutter” sort of riding.

I feel as though i am learning alot from racing in Belgium and this is what this year is all about! I have earned myself my first dose of prize money which was only ten euros but it meant alot more to me!

One thing i have learnt about racing in Belgium is never stay with your team manager! I say this as over the last two months our relationship has gone from good to non-existent. Firstly we were promised internet on February the 2^nd and after asking a few times and hearing the same response “normally we get it next week eh” we gave up! We have been living off our very generous neighbour’s internet which just about keeps us sane! I could literally go on all day about what has happened in this almost “hell hole” but it would bore you! To cut a long story short basically we arrived back after a kermesse to a letter addressed to all of us 3, the letter then stated how we were dirty arrogant, we trained like tourists, had no respect for the team or him or his house! And we were evicted and told we had till the end of may to get out!you should be able to work out what kind of man he is by leaving us a letter and not saying it to our face! If anyone wants to know the full story on what actually happened and some of the things my so called “manager” gets up to just ask and ill be glad to let it off my chest! But its best not to write things over the internet.

I managed to secure some accommodation for the rest of the season . I will be living with well known Brit Andy Fenn who rides for Anpost. This will be a massive improvement hopefully and I’m sure i will learn alot from him!

I feel as though i have spent this blog just moaning and not talking “bikes” . I have been racing alot and despite the things that have happened i have no kink in my armour and will still give it my all to make a career out of cycling!

Thanks for reading ill make sure the next blog is focused mainly on racing!

Danny at Rainford

Well, after completely ignoring my own advice of last week i set off towards rainford in similarly windy conditions for another crack at breaking 24mins on my road bike , upon arriving at the route it was apparent the wind direction was going to play a lot more havoc than last weeks solid crosswind with this week tail and head. Hitting over 30mph on the long 'back straight' and passing my minute man who was on a full TT bike gave me some optimism but the last 3 mile into the headwind i just died from going too hard and taking advantage of the tail wind. Ended up finishing with...wait for it...24.13. Yes folks a whole second quicker than last week but with harder weather conditions i cant complain. All in all another good ride. Honours went to a maxgear lad who was on one of wiggo's old bikes, he did a 21.35 i think but considerably slower than last week so ill take my second with good spririt. Danny

Macclesfield wheelers road race by Phil GP

Macclesfield wheelers road race on the siddington circuit. A night of missed opportunities. Nobody was going to get a break tonight. To fast and too many clubs with three or four riders, apart from us :-(. I watched all night and on the last lap moved up to the front. The race finished with a three mile ride on an A road and an uphill sprint. The speed increased and riders started to get dropped, I was comfortable and stayed with the leaders, the sprint started and I was well positioned but a wilfs wheels rider gave up and blocked me. Finished well up (top 10 in a full field) but not sure where. Happy with the ride but annoyed at not getting to really contest the sprint.

Catching up with Matt Brammeier

Matt was very kind to answer some questions for the club newsletter here is the full version (swearing included)

Paris-Roubaix 

Matt Entering the Velodrome

What was your reaction to being selected for Paris-Roubaix? 

I was pretty happy of course, being in the selection gave me a lot of confidence not only in myself but in my place in the team. I must be doing something right..

How do you relax before an event like this?

Normal stuff really, we were staying in a beautiful chateau north of Paris a week Prior to the race, so good food, massage, easy bike rides, coffee stops and plenty of lying in bed watching movies and writing shit on Twitter...

What was your job on the day?

I was 100% donkey for Matt Goss and Bernie, keeping them out of the wind early on, getting them in a good position for the important sections and generally just making sure they were as fresh as possible for as long as possible. 

Are you left with your body buzzing from the cobbles?

My body was buzzing from the first cobble, and that was on the start line. The boys had to tell me to calm down few times and stop getting excited. 

What kind of damage does a race like that do to your body?

I finished up pretty unscathed really, i wore good clothes and gloves etc. and had a good bike so i wasn't too bad. 

There is a great picture of you and G riding into the velodrome together, what's the story?

Well after my battle through the forest and all the shit that went with it i ended up riding to the finish with one of my trusty team mates Gatis Smukilis, one of the biggest and scariest guys in the peleton. Hes actually probably the softest in all honesty, but anyway we were together for the last 100kms and picked up G with around 40ks to go. After a bit of encouragement he battled to the Velodrome with us. 

Was your bike set up any differently?

Yeah, it couldnt have more been different really. I was riding on a Specialized Roubaix frame which has a slightly longer wheelbase with dampners in the forks and seatstays to smoothen the ride a little. I had extra gel padding under my bar tape for obvious reasons. 4.3bar in my front tyre and 4.8 in the back. My saddle was shifted back half a cm and my stem was half a cm shorter too keep a bit more weight on the back wheel so i was getting full power out over the cobbles. I had a 47 tooth inner ring which i used on some of the harder sections. Extra gear shifters on the tops of my bars (electronic) so i could shift easier on the tops on the cobbles. Thats about it.......

Did riding in Belgium for years help you out?

Riding in Belgium for years helps everyone out in any race. Ive always said it, if you can race in Belgium you can race anywhere. It prepares you for all types of carnage! 

From being in the top 20 at the first cobbled sector, what went wrong?

I hit the Arenberg section in a really good position. I cant remember if Cancelara was in front or behind, but i know he was close. I was feeling good and made it through the chaos prior to the forest when someone clipped the barrier in front of me and went down. I had no way around him and hit him full gas. My front wheel died and i had to wait for a spare. The car arrived with a wheel after a fair wait, couldn't stop in time, door wacked me and nearly knocked me over. A wheel was thrown out of the door and all i heard was "can't stop Gossys chain has snapped" so i got my wheel in and got going again. Next thing the whole road was blocked about 500m further up. Boonen had punctured or something and the whole world wanted too see. So i had to stop again and get going. I came out of the forest in a group that eventually managed to get back on but again had to wait to help Gossy. By this time it was pretty much over and my plan shifted to just getting to that Velodrome alive!   So that was the forest..... 

Roubaix always looks like a war is being waged, is that an apt description?

In every sense, the tension slowly builds all day, the closer you get to the forest the more wounded soldiers go down! 

Did you see any bizarre sites out there?

Erm.... Not really, it was pretty bizarre on a few of the earlier sections in the dust. I remember only being able to see the guy 2 in front it was so dusty, and looking down at my speedo and seeing 52kph. I thought if someone goes down now im pretty screwed

You're listed as DNF why?

I finished 2 mins outside the time cut. 

Could you win it one day?

I very much doubt it but i never say never..

Best/worst moments?

Best moment was getting to the velodrome. Mission (kind of) accomplished, dream come true... Worst moment was when the dude hit the barriers. Im pretty sure i was close to tears...

HTC

What’s it like riding with guys who are house hold names?

At first it was pretty daunting, but now its just normal, there all normal guys with normal bodies and normal attitudes. (apart from Tony Martin, hes a machine!) 

Will you become part of the ‘train’ at some point?

I already am man!!!! 

What races are in your calendar?

Next up is Berlin Velothon, Bayern Rundfarht, Philidelpheia Ster electrotour, National champs. 

Home

You visited home recently and went on a ride with..... what seems like everybody, was that a change from the normal routine?

Kind of, it don't get chance too often to just "ride my bike" normally im always looking at a number or hurting too much. It was pretty cool to see so many faces out and i think we all had a great day out (apart from Mr Compost who we wont mention) - Duff thought he was pretty mad doing all his dirt tracks but i do that shit all the time. He wants to get over here for a ride and ill show him a ride..... 

Lots of familiar faces out on the day?

Yep, some of the faces from the good old days. And Terry Giblins bike hasn't changed since i was 14! I remember sitting behind that Cadex up worlds end a few times thats for sure! Proper Retro!!

There is photographic proof that you can still fix a puncture without a service car, I hope everybody didn’t just sit and watch?

No my trusty domestic Webby helped me out a bit. I fixed a fair few punctures for him back in the day in Abbey Cycles so i suppose he kind of owes me..... 

Was it an interesting route?

Duff was in charge, of course it was! 

Time Trials

One brief question for you about the club 10, any advice to new riders wanting to go that little bit faster?

Its all got to be about pacing. Start off to fast and you will die, too slow and you wont go fast. If you aint got a power meter use a HRM. If you know you can average  lets say 170  for 20 mins then start at 160ish and try not to go to 170 before the half way mark. Try and hold that for a bit then the last few mile dont look at the fucker and just go flat out!!

Danny Stevens Rainford 10 11/05/2011

I did 10 at Rainford, on a night that contained starters like Johnny mac, Ian Bibby and Richard Handley the times were always gona be quick, I rode out and did it on road bike as a bit of fun and did 24.14 on rather windy night, Bibby came in with a rather ridiculous 19.58 with Johnny and Richard less than 30 seconds slower. impressive rides given the conditions, I've made a note to self to always use my TT bike for a TT.

Fred Whitton Challenge

Just thought I would drop you a quick 'Sportive Report' from the Fred Whitton Challenge in the Lakes yesterday.

Brian Boyle and I were sadly the only representatives of the club in this fantastic event, probably one of the most challenging events in the UK. This year's event was made even more challenging by the horrendous weather conditions which welcomed the competitors at the start. There was a line up of 1000 riders plus a few extra riders (of which I was one) who rode despite not managing to get an official slot. The event began immediately with a steep climb up Hawshead Hill, after this descent torrential rain started which hampered us up our first major climb - Kirkstone Pass, but conditions improved for the next 30 miles on our route north to Keswick. On the way we managed to shelter in groups until the field was split completely by Honister Pass. This was swiftly followed by Newlands Pass which brought us to the foot of Whinlatter Pass where the heavens opened again for about the next 3 hours. The wind also started to blow strong as we embarked on our trek over to the coast and we suffered badly with the cold. The second feed station was very welcome and we took the opportunity to stop for a cup of tea and a sarnie whilst the helpers (the event was fantastically organised) prepared our bottles for the final leg. 

And quite a final leg it was - after 98 miles we were faced with the wall that is Hardknott Pass (30% gradient the sun made an appearance here!) But there was great support to help drag us to the top. The majority of riders were beaten by the this challenge and elected to walk up, but thanks to our training up Woolton Hill me and Bri rode to the top (despite me getting cramp half way up and Bri having a tumble, having realised he started the 30% climb in his big ring!) only to be reminded of the hair raising descent and that this was immediately followed by Wrynose Pass (30% again). From the foot of Wrynose as Bri was feeling strong and I was knackered I urged him to push on for a time and he finished in a great time of 8 hrs 27 mins and I coasted in at 8 hrs 30 mins (both finishing in the top half of the field). The winner completed the 112 mile course in an incredible 6 hrs 5 mins and the slowest time was over 12 hours. If any club members fancy a really challenging sportive next year I recommend it as it was well organised from start to finish. A word of warning though - get loads of hill training in! - over 12,000 feet of ascent. Great fun!! Hope everyone enjoys reading about our pain, the memory of which will stay with me for many years.

Regards to all - Mark Stevens

STEVE GUTTERIDGE MEMORIAL RR

Aggressive, exciting racing marked another superbly run edition of the Steve Gutteridge Memorial Road Race that took place today amongst sunshine and showers.

Driving the lead car for the first group on the road the A,B categories gave me ample oppurtunity to witness some exciting and towards the end nail biting action.

The race started with a bang as John Cosgrove (Bioracer) exploded up the road like a rocket, closely followed by Paul Grindley (Liverpool Century) in what was surely a shock to the system for the other racers. This small break was eventually caught and without pause a second attack was launched by Steve Davis (Bioracer), Andy Bennett (Bioracer), Steve Stoneman (FP Mailing), Roy Sumner (Port Sunlight) and one other rider (R.Whitfield). This group had a sense of purpose about it and soon saw daylight come between themselves and the bunch. Steve Davis picked up a puncture and Bennett was quick to offer his wheel to allow the in form Davis to rejoin the bunch before they passed. This left Sumner and Stoneman to work away on there own (Other rider must have dropped back??) this alliance of 2 worked flawlessly with the previous years winner looking evenly matched to Sumner, and this carried on for 3 laps until the hard efforts of the bunch in a long chase finally caught the intrepid pair.

The next breakaway was the one that would stick and comprised of the ever present Stoneman, John Cosgrove, Paul (Stone Wheelers) and 2 others (to be confirmed). This group worked tirelessly until the created what looked like an unassailable lead. As we rounded the last bend towards the finish Stoneman made his move and clinched the win. The victory was just in time as the bunch rounded the corner with only seconds to spare for the break.

Vince Bennett was the highest place LCRC rider in all groups with 5th place in the B category and 12th overall

Shane Atkinson rides the Burgess Hill Springtime Classic

I completed the Classic route of the Burgess Hill Springtime Classic on Sunday 20th March 2011. I first saw it advertised in CW and seeing as though my Mum lives in Burgess Hill I thought that I would go down and visit her and have a ride.
The Classic is the hardest and longest of the three rides on the Burgess Hill Springtime Classic event. With it being 71 miles I thought it would be a great warm-up sportive ride in preparation for longer ones later in the summer. The course was hard for this time of the year and I thought that it would be an easy flattish route. Not knowing the area at all I thought that I would go and have a short ride on the Saturday to see the route. I completed 65 miles of the 71 mile route getting well acquainted with the hills which were spread out through West and East Sussex and Kent. With a distance of 71 miles (114km) and 1653 metres of climbing the route visited many hills like Pillow Mounds Hill, Kidds Hill, Groombridge hill and the infamous Cobb Lane hill. This last one was tough at 25% especially with loads of people getting off and walking. Even though there were some long climbs I got to relish some fantastic descents.  I recorded a time of 4hrs 37mins and 15 secs. This awarded me a silver for my age group.  I was really happy with the result seeing as though I had virtually done the route twice. I will not be making that mistake again.

Royal wedding by Hannah Summut

Well I am sure you all needed a plan how to avoid The Wedding, and this was ours. A joint effort which took us to deepest, steepest, sunniest Wales! Formulated initially by Ms Witzig and Mr Davies collaboration who sensibly looked to advice on routes from Miss Sammut! Of course you are all aware of how much Paul loves to be grumpy and Miss Sammut is an expert in finding routes which can make Paul very grumpy!
So a plan was formulated and the route advertised and it would start at nine from the Mills (the best cycling café in the world). Hannah and Duff finalised the fine details on the train, so keen were they the gates were still locked when they reached the Mills(the best cycling café in the world!). But the ever hospitable Anne and Keith immediately opened up and served coffee and cake! Claudi and Paul duly arrived, so who else partake in this Wales wackiness, on such a glorious day? Only one other crazy guy?!! (Well I thought there were more of you than that!) But WHAT a GUY, FANTASTIC PHIL to complete the fantastic five!!!!

Please note when attempting madness in Wales it is essential you eat enough cake! Cakes are the very most important part of the day and forgetting them is a fatal, fatal mistake. So we were very, very fortunate to have our own Cake maker none other than the fair Claudia!!!! So the day started perfectly with our tummies full of delicious muffins.

So off we set, not a wisp of apprehension, not a flicker doubt just the open road ahead of us and the unbridled joy at the prospect of all those hills!!! The route heads out over the white bridge into Flintshire and the first climb takes you over the Halkyn. It has its steep moments and a chance for the legs to note the pain of going uphill on your bike, knowing there are many more to come. The top opens out into moor lands a great views across to Liverpool and over to Moel Famau hills. After the fast decent you immediately climb Moel Arthur, which we proceeded up gently. On the decent we could tell Duff had been before us by the terrified pedestrians pressed against hedges and petrified drivers frozen to the spot.
But we all got down without injury.

The next climb is the Old Sportsmans who’s name is deceptive as many a young sportsman will find it a challenge. Then over by the Lakes and down to Cerrig.

Of course during the day all the ‘signs’ were fiercely contested. As a warm up for the Bala sign Hannah majestically ‘got’ the Cerrig sign, after a fine lead out from Duff. (got in the cycling sense of the word not in the Hannah Mac sense of the word) So we carried on to Bala, and everyone was getting twitchy for the sign. Duff led out again and at hair-raising speed we turned the corner for the last incline before the sign. Hannah went but too early and made the fatal mistake of looking left and was pipped to the sign by Devilish Speedy Gonzalez Davies!

After a big lunch in Bala, we climbed the beautiful Hirnant Pass, which meanders its way up the valley with trepidation growing as the hills seem to get bigger and bigger, but then it opens out and you can see the road stretching ahead of you …… to the top!

Round sunny Lake Vyenwy and on towards Glyn Cerriog. By this time our legs were feeling the climbs but the lovely little roads and glorious sunshine eased the pain.

Now a mention should be made for Paul’s legendary moaning. He tried and tried to get very grumpy, he even managed a f**k off at one point at the bottom of a hill. But as he was having so much fun and in such good company even he struggled to grumble! An achievement indeed!!!

As well as the sunshine and the roads we were of course entertained by Hannah’s singing. It is great when people know the words to songs, makes all the difference.

So the sprint was on for the Glen Cerriog sign, Duff easily got that one. But now the Spar! The wonderful spar before oohh Church Hill! ……….


Claudia had been a little quiet all day. It should be noted that everyone else on the day had cycled on these roads before, knew what to expect and had years of experience behind them. Claudia showed her ability, strength and stamina, her climbing got better over the day rather than worse, but the prospect ooohh Church Hill (daunting to the most experience cyclists) was weighing on her mind. With almost 90 miles in her legs she started up it. But she didn’t just cycle up it, she flew up it! Well Done Claudi, fantastic climb!





So now down into Llangollen and up the aptly named Worlds End, and the crossing of the ford. Oh it seemed an awful long way to that ford! It was at that point in the day when the good friends we had spent the day with were becoming objects on which to wish bodily harm. It is a surprise Hannah and Duff did not end up thrown over the steep valley sides of Worlds End!







However we got to the ford eventually and this allowed excellent opportunity for photo shots. Paul duly obliged and did his break dancing routine with bike, quite a spectacle to behold!

Then over the wonderful heather topped moors as the sun was starting to fall, and home. The perfect end to a great day on the bike.

Club 10 April 2011

Wednesday saw the first club 10 mile Time Trail of 2011. With excellent conditions many riders didn't quite manage a PB but were definately ahead of where they were last year. Paul Grindley rode the fastest time at 22:30, it must be added that he did this in his lunch hour! The return of Tommy Murphy was a great sight to see as he gradualy returns to form after his ankle break in January. Results from Rob
