The results here show the full story.

It went well thanks Geoff, I believe. The club was well represented among dozens of Colchester Rovers competing in the their home event:- U14: Oli was on the podium and Gareth was very prominent too. Henry was unwell, as Tim says - hope he is perkin…

Thanks for your comments Geoff - I'll pass them on to him. Mark F

Thanks Tim! Don't do too good a job though, or I'll be relegated to back-up pusher next time...

I'm not so sure that there's no wrong thing to do in cycle sport Tim...

Not a good night for James & me. Despite having ridden the course twenty times previously I managed to take our tandem on a little detour to a farm visit just after Eyeworth. I managed to break the aero bars before we'd even reached Guilden Morde…

Decent set for sale here, if you're interested.

Anna will help tonight too. She would like to learn the ropes from you too, Tim. Mark F

A lot of parents have been asking on Thursday evenings how they can buy their own Islabikes junior track bikes in small sizes. This is all discussed in the thread above, and particularly at our Facebook "campaign" to persuade Islabikes to supply the …

A quick update after just having spoken to Isla. She has received a response to her track bike specifications from the factory and the project is moving forward. The work is taking a longer than anticipated because of their larger commercial activit…

Might have something useful to you Shelton. Will check the spec and come back to you. Mark F

Well done for stepping up. I have two suggestions:- 1) We already have U16s and Junior riders competing in the club 10s and there are likely to be some U14s too during the season. There's a big difference between the abilities of our current crop of…

Funnily enough Stewart W discovered that the doors of his BMW 5 Series are in fact made of aluminium when he tried to attach these magnetic signs to them...

Well done Dan P who dipped below 28 minutes as an Under 16 youth rider in his first ever time trial. Riding a standard road bike, too. I suspect a few chunks will be taken off that time during the season. Mark F
-
We've been rumbled... Cycling Weekly retweeted it to their 70k followers too. Pity James's CCA jersey was in the wash that day! Thankfully the photo hides the fact that Anna had dropped us on her solo bike and was about 30 secs further up the climb …

I suggest whispering a message to Shelton Pell who goes by the ID "Shelton & Harley" on this forum. I believe he had the same trouble a month or two ago. Mark F

Great report, Jon - sounds like you rode it very shrewdly, saving as much energy as possible. Well done to all at Hillingdon today. Mark F
-
That lucky yellow & white helmet has won twice now Theo - once on your head, and once on James's. I'll have to borrow it myself because if anyone needs a bit of a speed boost, it's me.
-
Glad Rebecca (and bike) is OK. And well done Daniel - a good boost, no doubt, for next weekend's event. Mark F
-
I also suggest Andy Palmer (API) and Mick Gray (01245 344373) - both Chelmsford. Mark F
-
I don't know whether I'm more impressed by the fantastic efforts of the three lads or by Stewart & Daniel's heroic bike surgery carried out under such pressure. Extremely well done Jon, Cameron, Theo. Great role models for younger riders. Mark …

The first of these two sessions in Cambridge was held this morning and it was very good. I believe there are still two places left for next Wednesday's session so get in quick if you have a 8-10 year old who would like to start learning how bikes wor…

Friday seems a long time ago now, but here's a report from memory:- U10 race The race was entirely on the pan-flat bottom circuit, so it was always likely to end in a bunch sprint. The usual fast start thinned the field out, and soon there were onl…

Good write up, Jon. Sounds like a tough race - you earned your Easter eggs. Mark F

Minimum age at Manchester is 9, Tim, but it's 10 at Newport. Mark F

Yes, BC membership gives you 10% off anything sold by Halfords, which can make BC membership very good value for this benefit alone. Unfortunately the process has changed so you now have to print out a discount voucher and visit the store to buy in …

Well done the juniors. It would be hard enough just driving the support car on those roads. Mark F

Mark W, Tim, etc., I heard that the Lotus league is running a new 4-up team time trial on Wednesday 5th June as part of their 2013 programme at the Hethel test track. Could be good preparation for the Silverstone TTT. See http://www.lotuscycleracin…
