Gatway Summer Time Trial Series – week 14

Well that’s another time trial series over with. This year we had 34 different riders take part over 14 weeks. The numbers were a little bit down on last year, but I think that the weather played a part in that as this summer was fairly wet, and it seemed like every Wednesday brought the threat of rain. Looking back at the results sheet we didn’t have a wet TT this year, although there were quite … Read entire article »
Gateway Summer Time Trial – Week 13

Only 7 riders tonight, where have all last year’s riders gone? Although tonight was a bit windy, it looked like the heavens may have opened any minute, and there was the uncertainty about the Fen Lane road surface, so 7 wasn’t a bad turnout this evening. We had one new rider tonight, Rose E (Mrs Chairman!), who did a very commendable 24.26. Not bad for someone who is new to cycling, well done Rose. Of the others, … Read entire article »

Richard W, Matt S, Chris M, Paul E, and Dave L (and Mrs Dave L briefly) all turned out for this evenings TT. No PB’s for this year were posted but Matt was only 4 seconds adrift of his best time, and Dave L … Read entire article »

Gateway Summer Time Trial Series – Week 11

It was a very warm 24 degrees this evening and thirteen riders tried their hand at pedalling like a madman around the TT course. Josh S was the only newbie tonight and put in a very nice time of 19.04, I’m sure you can get in the 18’s next week Josh? There were 4 PB’s tonight from Chris M (old one, not the new one), Chris P, Matt S, and Sam B, well done all. Good efforts were … Read entire article »

Gateway Summer Time Trial Series – Week 10

Hello all This week we had twelve riders, all of them were optimistic about getting a PB as there was an easterly wind pushing them along St Marys Lane (hooray!), but it was the headwind along Fen Lane (boo!) that slowed a few of them down. Out of the twelve, four of them got their PB, John W, Rob G, Kevin C and Chris Ma (two Chris M’s, it gets very confusing), well done. Of those Kev and … Read entire article »
