Wolfie took another win on the TL on Tuesday beating some chap called Malcolm Elliott – Wolfies early season form making him a good bet for the Good Friday meet and some results there.

 

 

KIT

 There are some issues regarding the kit sizing etc. Please let Andrea know what you want to change and she will endeavour to sort everyone out before the club orders another batch. If ypu are riding on the 15th please bring the kit along to  allow easy  swapping etc.

Paul Hunter & Eve Kenyon, back on the tandem racing together three years after setting the fastest mixed GB time over 15 miles, overcame Paul’s “ski-legs” [a bit like jelly legs, only worse!]  and did a fast 21.17 in very windy conditions in Sunday’s Merseyside Ladies 10tt.

Meanwhile Althea Drane took to time trialling on her Fuji road bike doing a splendid time in one of her first events.

 

Don’t forget the club has a track session on April 15th @ 1-3pm. All welcome.

29/03/06

Speedster Jon Norfolk, the former Kilo and 2 x Keirin national champion and WCPP rider has rejoined the team for this year. Jon is one of the original crew and will be organizing our team sprint teams for the nationals and Masters this year.

Great to have the chap back – a huge addition to the team.

Watch out for Jon on the tandems too.

 

David Melvin, Jo & Graham Wilman have been giving it large on the TL’s this last few days with all three gaining some places and points.

 

If you have not entered events for Easter, then get to it quickly.

28/03/06

Andrea is hoping the tandems will get a good run-out this year. Remember, entries are already due for the national tandems @ Newcastle in May.

 

The pairings sorted so far are;

 

Joby/Matt

Paul H /Gwyn

 

We have more tandems so please sort out a pairing ASAP and let Andrea know. I am thinking of Anthony K, Ant Gill, Dan W, Graham W, etc.

ENTER ON TIME PLEASE.

 

Andrea is also looking for girls to attack the following tandem records this year;

Standing 5000m/10000m & 20km also flying 1Km.
 

She is thinking of Ellen, Angela, Tracy, Jeanette, Eve, Chris H, Joanne W etc. She has the tandems and will give you support but you have to get yourself organized.

Good results are beginning to come in. Dan Wolfie, Graham Wilman, Jo Wilman and Tracey & Paul Crolla all doing well in the Manchester Velodrome track leagues.

Jeanette Baxter, David Melvin, Ian Macdonald and Eve Kenyon are all doing their bit in time trials.

 

Looks we have a  few riders in the Good Friday meet at Herne Hill and also some riders at the ACT meet on Easter Monday.

 

Please don’t forget the next club session on April 15th at 1pm. We need a track coach for the day as both I and Russell will be away.

 

Kit is available.

 

I have has assurance that the new FUJI frames will be here in a day or two!!

Club session at the velodrome on the 5th March 06, 1pm to 4pm. All the usual fun and frolicks.

Its the first one of the year so make an effort to turn out.

Andrea isn't coaching so its safe to come and ride even if the training hasn't being going to plan! The alledged rumours that she is in europe collecting the new kit are totally false!
