The north Norfolk wheelers club 10 mile time trial is held on the A148 between Pretty Corner and Holt. On an evening when conditions were ideal Gary Rushmore and Steve Bristow rode the event to good effect. Steve was very satisfied with his effort, checking his time, he had ridden his best 10 mile for 4 years, in a time of 24:23. Gary Rushmore was event winner in 22:15.

Colin Bunnett travelled to Sawtry to ride in the north Hants and district CC 25. The course between sawtry and Norman cross was part of the old A1 road, and with a few roundabouts and undulating terrain required riders to concentrate 100%. Conditions were warm and windy and the outward leg was fast. But the return leg into the wind slowed Colin considerably. His time of 1:03:56 gave him second vet on standard. Event winner peter Balls 53:53 West Suffolk wheelers.

The VTTA National championship 30 mile time trial was held on the Newmarket Sawston road. Weather was fine with a light south west wind. Riders found this to be a bonus on the open and exposed section of the course. Colin Bunnett still in good form rode with a determined effort on the homeward section, to pass the timekeeper in 1:14:03, an average of 24.3 MPH. Event winner Peter balls 1:03:16 (West Suffolk Wheelers)

The CC Breckland 10 mile time trial attracted a full field of 120 riders. The ever popular Attleborough Wymondham course is now gaining national recognition with its potential for some fast times. This looked in doubt with the wind assisting riders on the outward leg, but against them on the return to the finish. Martin long returning from holiday was first Lynn rider to start and finished in 22:08. Gary Rushmore and Jason Nixon were within a second of each other in 21:32 & 21:33 respectively. John Howling finding some late season fitness rode his best time at 10 miles for the year in 23:24. Catherine Essex took the ladies prize riding at 25 MPH and finished in 23:46. A new course record was established by Nino Piccoli (API Metrow) in 18:48, an average speed of 32MPH.

Warm dry weather making the ground hard is the ideal recipe for grass track racing; this was a popular form of bicycle racing in the 1930’s up until the 1960’s. Fen Skaters used these events for summer fitness and the prize money helped to supplement wages. The Spalding CC held their open meeting at the local rugby club field. Ken Roesner riding his 800mtr heat came first, this qualified him for the final in which he was on the podium for 3rd place overall.

Cambridge CC promoted their autumn 25 over 2 laps of the bottisham, 6 mile bottom, stetchworth circuit. Daniel Bloy riding only his second open 25 rode the undulating circuit with a measured effort. This paid off when he passed the timekeeper in 1:05:27. Simon Hardy riding a course which he knows well, and making the most of the breezy conditions, he recorded a 1:05:21. Colin Bunnett beat his standard time for a 67 year old veteran by 15 minutes and 39 seconds, in a time of 1:04:26. Jason Nixon looks upon every race as a challenge and pulling out all the stops with a 25 MPH ride, claimed 3rd place with 59:41. Event winner Ken Platts 56:30 (Cambridge CC)

The Sudbury CC promoted their 10 mile time trial on the B10/39r, a hilly course in Suffolk and one counting towards the SPOCO East competition. Gary Smith suffering slightly from a previous days racing was pleased to pass the timekeeper with a 25:51. Race veteran Colin Bunnett passed the timekeeper with a time of 25:21.
Event winner :- Andrew Leggett 22:39.

On a hot and windy day, 63 riders faced the timekeeper in the Kings Lynn CC Les Spinks Memorial open 25. The 13½ mile outward leg from Fincham to Mundford had to be ridden with ‘all out effort’ being the longest leg into the wind. The blustery wind was not of much assistance on the return to the finish. Kings Lynn CC riders made up 25% of the field with 15 entries and fastest was Gary Rushmore 10th in 59:34. Closely followed by Jason Nixon in 12th place with 59:42.

The hot and windy conditions persisted with the CC Breckland 12 hr, were the worst that could be wished for, for a long distance time trial. The course between Thetford and Wymondham is quite exposed and Ken Roesner was still feeling the effect of the 24 hr ridden 2 weeks ago, but ken is not a quitter and although not at his best continued to the finishing circuit near Hingham and finished with a distance of over 200 miles.
Event winner :- Nik Bowdler 287.92 miles (Farnborough and Camberley CC)


Anglia Velo promoted their annual 10 mile time trial on the popular Attleborough Besthorpe course. Early morning mist lifted and the 79 riders were greeted with calm and warm conditions, Ideal for fast short distance time trials. Geoff Allum enjoying his present form, rode to a years best for 10 miles in 26:20 for a 71 year old. Fellow Veteran Colin Bunnet won the 65 to 70 year old prize in 22:39.

Newnham Park 24 hour MTB
Gary Smith travelled down to Plymouth to compete in a 5 man relay team 24 hour mountain bike competition. The course was a mix of 20% gradients on and off road, and each lap taking approximately an hour. All was well until on a long grassy descent, Gary took a major spill, but after being checked out by a paramedic he was sent on his way. But with a machine that wouldn’t go into top gear and a cracked helmet his race was over. Between him and his team, they managed 22 laps and finished in a creditable 59th place overall.  To read the full report, please check out Gary Smiths Blog (in Member Profiles).

A warm, still, but very muggy evening saw a full field turn up and race.  The evening saw many riders recording PB's, including Jonathon Fysh, Andy Smith, Steve Segasby & Daniel Bloy.  Congratulations go to Nino Piccoli (API Metrow) who broke the course record with a time of 20:25.

The mental physical preparation that is required to ride a long distance time trial was shown by Ken Roesner when riding in the National Championship 24 hour event, promoted by the Mersey Roads CC. The course was on the border of Wales and North West England, near Farndon in Cheshire between Chester and Witchurch and minor roads in that area, some of which are poorly surfaced and undulating. The event started on Saturday afternoon, riders leaving the timekeeper at 1 minute intervals. Ken Started at 14:00 hrs and covered the first 100 mile in 4 hrs 39 mins with an average speed of 21.5 mph. Conditions were overcast and cool, and with darkness approaching it was time to change into warm clothing as the temperature dropped, but at least there was no wind. The 12 hour point was reached and 238 miles were in the bank. As dawn broke, Ken left the night circuit to continue and rode onto the finishing circuit. At 07:00 the weather turned wet, until 11:00 hrs. Tiredness was now the main consideration, but with the ceaseless assistance with food and drink from wife Elaine, he continued on the finishing circuit and ran out of time with at total distance of 431.43 miles and an average speed of 18 mph. This bought Ken 10th place overall from a total of 57 finishers. And a new KLCC record by 28 miles. Event winner, John Warnock Twickenham CC (497.22 miles).

Diss and District held their annual 25 mile time trial on a traditional course based on the Bressingham/Thetford road. The Breezy conditions slowed the riders, but Dave Counsell riding his first Open Time trial, finished in a very creditable time of 1:09:20. Colin Bunnett, always riding with a positive approach, recorded a time of 1:03:37. Stuart Howlett, now finding form, was pleased with his efforts in 1:01:04 for the distance. Jason Nixon always gives his best and his efforts produced another sub hour ride of 59:35. Event winner :- Lee Bark 55:02 (Stowmarket & District CC)

Martin Long hit the jackpot when riding in the Cambridge University CC 25 near Newmarket. The early morning start was beneficial as conditions were cool and calm. Martin took full advantage of this, turning on the power, riding at 25 MPH plus, and finished in a personal best of 56:03. Event winner :- Nino Piccoli 50:29 (API-Metrow)

Jason Nixon using the Ely and District club 16 mile circuit event on the Ely Littelport Welney Ely circuit for some fast training, negotiated the minor and B class roads to good effect and was pleased with his 39:42 ride and second fastest. Event winner :- Ben Price. 38:14

It is not very often that all the elements required to enable the racing cyclist to perform well, come together, but this did occur for the Cambridge CC 10 mile event between Newmarket and Fourwentways. The outward leg was into a light south west wind. But it was not a problem for the King’s Lynn Riders. The return leg was extremely fast, with speeds of over 30 MPH. Gary Rushmore having just returned from a holiday in Spain, scorched passed the time keeper in a time 20:59 a personal best at the distance. Jason Nixon closely followed with a ride of 21:02 also a personal best. Martin long in excellent form produced another PB with a time of 21:39. Super Veteran Colin Bunnett was very satisfied with his 22:22 effort, but the ride of the day was produced by Catherine Essex. Her smooth pedaling style paid off and her time of 22:12 was a personal best and a new KLCC ladies 10 mile record. Event winner Peter Balls 19:25 (West Suffolk Wheelers)

With another strong headwind on the first leg to the Bexwell roundabout, the evening started tough.  With the wind following on the other two legs, high speeds were easily achieved and this reflected in the times posted.

Well done to Dave Counsell for posting a PB on his new machine.

The EDCA 25 mile championship was held on the windswept Fenland course based on the Terrington St. John bypass. Simon Hardy rode out to the event using it as a warm-up and his time of a 1:03:15 reflected it. Gary Smiths effort in the windy conditions paid off when passing the timekeeper in 1:01:07. Geoff Allum enjoying the event was happy with his ride of 1:13:25 beating his vet standard by 10 minutes. Colin Bunnet was the fastest vet on std in a time of 1:01:05 beating his standard by 20 minutes and receiving the vets gold medal.

Martin Jason & Stuart’s aggregate time of 2:55:20 gave KLCC the fastest team award. Event Winner: - Peter Balls (West Suffolk Wheelers) 53:13.

Event winner Craig Simpson 19:18.


An Excellent entry for the Nev Crane memorial 25 was organized by the Sleaford wheelers. Nev Was a prolific rider from the 60’s and 70’s. A milk race rider (tour of Britain) and also selected for international events. He was a member of the Boston wheelers, then the Sleaford club.

With a stiff head wind, coming slightly from the right, all the way to the Bexwell roundabout, the first leg was quite tough.  With a tail wind to the Stradsett turn, speeds increased and spirits were lifted.  The final leg to the finish line, with roadside hedges and trees, had no real benefit from the prevailing wind, but this didn't deter the riders from posting some really quick times.  Congratulations to Daniel Bloy, who on his first outing as a KLCC member passed the timekeeper with a cracking time of 25:26 and securing 3 club points.  Well done to Simon Hardy for his PB tonight of 23:55.

The Start of the Godric CC 50 mile time trial incorporating the EDCA championship was delayed due to heavy mist, on the popular Attleborough, Besthorpe, Eccles road course. When the conditions improved they proved to be ideal and the times recorded by riders reflected this. With the benefit of the 100 mile event still in their legs, the KLCC competitors produced excellent rides. 20 year old Jason Gollaglee riding his first 50 beat the magic 2 hour barrier with a time of 1:58:57. Simon Hardy pulled out all the stops to produce a PB of 2:03:29, an improvement of 21 minutes and 45 seconds and first handicap. Gary Rushmore concentrating on races up to 50 miles and having intimate knowledge of the course, used this to full advantage to finish in 1:52:44 for a Personal Best and 7th Place. Ken Roesner’s diet of long distance training and events, rode strongly and was pleased with his efforts, once again beating 2 hours with a time of 1:54:29 and 10th place. Veteran Colin bunnett’s experience showed that this was a vital ingredient when riding 50 mile events, pacing himself and passing the timekeeper in 1:59:51 for Silver medal in the Vet’s Section and a first time for beating 2 hours. A superb effort by the club with all members starting and completing the event and for beating the 2 hour barrier.
Event winner :- Lee bark (Stowmarket & District CC) 01:45:29

For the CC Breckland 10, the easterly breeze lasted for the duration of the event and made the first 5 miles hard work for the riders on the Attleborough, Besthorpe course. Jason Nixon always ready to ride to the limit produced the fastest ride of the KLCC trio for the 10 miles in 21:45. Martin Long, still knocking on the 21 minute door, was almost there with his time of 22:13. Gary Rushmore having a problem with his breathing again in the first few miles, overcame it and passed the timekeeper in a time of 22:38.
Event winner :- Nino Piccoli (API Metrow) 19:57.


The Norwich ABC promoted their annual 25 mile time trial on the course that has produced some of the fasted rides in East Anglia this year. Early showers cooled the air and loaded it with Oxygen which assists the riders breathing. Starting near Attleborough some early starters rode the first 12.5 miles in light rain, but the warmth and calm conditions enables KLCC riders to produce some excellent times. Jason Nixon pulled out all the stops to finish in a PB time for 25 miles of 55:52. Stuart Howlett aware of other riders' problems with punctures, rode cautiously in the wet as the roads dried out he piled on the pressure and passed the timekeeper in 57:02 for a PB at that distance. Gary Rushmore an early starter probably missed a PB due to the wet conditions but he still finished strongly in a time of 55:42. Catherine Essex managed to fit in a ride in between her busy work and was delighted with her time of 58:51 for the fastest lady award.
Event Winner : Lee bark 51:08 (Stowmarket & District CC)

Men’s Champion :- Michael Hutchinson 48:23 (31.002 MPH ingear quickvit R.T.)

Ladies Champion :- Julie Shaw 55:18 (UTAG.Yamaha.com).

Team Swift 50 mile TT. 16/05/2009

Catherine Essex, Gary Smith and Ken Roesner travelled to Tuxford for what proved to be very testing conditions. A combination of gale force winds and heavy showers made for a battle of survival. Unfortunately Catherine punctured before the start. Gary rode his first 50 of the season in 2hr 10m 53sec and Ken managed to get round in 2hr 01m 53sec. Many riders on the day decided not to start due to the poor conditions and the majority of those that finished ended up with times well outside their personal bests.

Long-distance star and former BBAR, Andy Wilkinson (Port Sunlight Wheelers) was fastest in Team Swift’s 50-mile promotion, in a fantastic time of 1-48-14.

KLCC Club 10 - 01.04.2009 - Tottenhill.

Ely and District CC opened their evening time trial series with a 4 mile circuit being ridden twice. Starting in Sutton, to Witcham, then Meeple and then back to Sutton. Jason Nixon, gaining confidence, now into his second season, and in very good form, passed the timekeeper in 18:19. This was an excellent ride, and in doing so, pushed Alan Newark of the Planet X team into second place. His time being 10 seconds slower (18:29).

On 2nd April Gary Smith ventured into Lincs to compete in the Spalding CC Hilly TT the event took place between Bourne and Grantham racing mainly on B roads. It was a definite test for the legs which resulted in 15th place in a time of 1:13:07. Event winner Brett Harwood stormed round in a time of 59:25.

The A1066 road between Bressingham and Thetford was the course for the Diss and District 25 mile time trial. Ken Roesner had opted to ride the fixed wheel section of the event which meant riders were restricted to a gear of 72”. Which means one revolution of the pedals drives the bike forward 72”.
The strong breeze on the outward leg was of no help to Ken, which was his first time trial of the season. After the turn at Thetford, the tail wind lifted speed and spirits and he passed the timekeeper with a time of 01:11:35.
Event winner :- Lee Desborough (Ely and District CC) 1:02:50
