Weekend Round-up 19th August – NFCC win Arrow Open

Bournemouth Arrow Chris Brading Memorial TTT

With no NFCC team entered for the two-up TT, the club fielded a good entry for the solo event. Conditions were blustery, slightly harder going on the way out. Traffic wasn’t ideal, but from the editor’s point of view, the only hold ups were around Sopley as usual.

Aron Kelly ( 12th place overall 23.43) commented that it was the slowest that he had ever done on the course. Stuart Peckham (11th place overall 23.42) said that the conditions were tough, just pipping Aron by 1 second. Sacha Ring (7th place overall 22.41) couldn’t hang around until the end, but completed the event without a puncture so had to be pleased after his recent run of bad luck. Antony Green (2nd overall 21.20) took a second off his recent best time for the course. Paul Lockyer, outright winner in 21.08 commented that he was pleased to have beaten a certain ‘old aged pensioner’.

There was no official team prize, but with all the team doing well in the overall results, we would have won it.

Weekend Round-up 13th August

Saturday ride report 11th August

This weeks club ride was kept within the forest. Total of 15 riders, made up of regulars and some welcome newcomers. A lot of regular riders were on holiday. Ride went out via Mill Lane as Balmer Lawn was closed, presumably flooded after Fridays rain. Total of 114Km taking in Beaulieu, Ipley Cross, Ashurst, Woodlands, Bramble Hill. A stitch of through and off across Fritham and Ocknells Plain and then through High Corner and Bolderwood. The riders then split with some going straight to the cafe stop at Cafe Velo in Ringwood where we were made very welcome. The remaining riders did an extra loop around Ogdens and Hyde.

Then after the coffee stop there was another loop around Bolderwood, Emery Down, Lyndhurst (very busy), onto Beaulieu where the last remaining 5 riders got a thourough soaking then back to Brockenhurst.

Thursday Chain Gang 9th August

11 riders started the chain gang this week. Normally at our chosen start times there is little traffic and we are able to ride through and off most of the route just having to change formation to let a couple of cars past. This week there was apparently some problem on the A31 and the net result was a very fragmented ride as we had to break formation to let cars past several times so as not to cause inconvenience to other road users. The second half of the ride from Burley was a lot clearer and provided the usual fast finish with a nice tailwind.

Events

Stuart Peckham, Catherine Pascoe and Antony Green rode the Wessex VTTA championship 25 at Bentley. Catherine recorded a PB in 1.12.09, Stuart and Antony both improved their times for the course; Stuart recording 56:56 and Antony 52.48 for 6th overall and second place in the VTTA championship on standard.
