The
Mids CTT is piloting a new ranking system in 2010 for open
events, similar to British Cycling's Elite, 1st Cat, etc. To show
how this works results have been calculated using 2009 results and
these can be viewed on a new website:
- Historic table
of Club events
updated to include 2009 winners.
- Is your bike insured?
You may want to take up Kenny Robinson's suggestion on bike
insurance.
- Disappointing turnout
for the club hillclimb
won by Richard Kenworthy.
- Emily Ducker
breaks the Club 10 record
for the third time this year!
- Now calculated
- Tables of 10-mile &
25-mile Championships, plus Vet
on Standard. Also the Handicap
& Vet on Std results for the 4-hr have now been calculated.
- Now the 4-Hr's
been ridden we can calculate the result of the Club Best-All-Rounder.
Go to Club BAR
to see the full list.
- Club runs
are re-starting on Sunday mornings - meet at Barby Road (Temple Speech
Room) at 9.30 am - contact Rob Tobin (01788 535694) or Colin Stiles
(01788 572034).
- It was a win for
Peter Wright in Sundays' 4-hr
time trial, with Hywel Davies having to retire with a mechanical
problem. Course details etc can still be found on 4-Hour
2009. Many thanks to all the people who helped on the finishing
circuit. Also the Handicap
& Vet on Std results have now been calculated.
- Sunshine at last
as Hywel Davies wins the last evening TT of the season. Go to
results index to get the details
and points tables
to see the final position.
- Mike Bloom
sets a +12-47 for a 30 mile Vet
on Std. As we have not had a 30 mile record in this category
we must assume this establishes a club record, unless someone can produce
a counter-claim.
- Anothe club record
for Marina Bloom - this time Wendy Cooper's 50-mile record from
1982. Go to Records
index for details.
- Records
pages updated to include Emily Ducker's new Women's 10-mile time
and Marina Bloom's club record in the National 24-hour (also
a new club vet on std record for 24 hours).
- James Wall wins
our Open 10, where difficult conditions slowed the later numbers.

soaked in the process.

distance! Find out how, with his own record of day-today progress. Go
to Stuart Sherriff does

- John Tuckley

to read more about John.
- Yet another
appeal - please don't stand in front of the timekeepers at the finish,
or within the line of sight. It could be YOU we miss next
time!
- Insurance:
£1 of your entry fee in club time trials goes towards the CTT's
3rd party insurance scheme. However, we discovered recently that this
is a contingency insurance (ie a reserve) which only applies when there
is no other cover (ie personal or home insurance). You may want to review
your own insurance cover.
- Appeal to DNFs
- As a rule the timekeepers will not leave the finish until all riders
have been accounted for. Recently there were 3 DNFs but only one told
us he had a problem. Obviously riders' priorities change when they drop
out, but it would help to send a message back so we know you're OK.
- Anyone need alterations
to their cycling clothing? Alex Zebedee is qualified theatrical
costume maker and provides an alterations service to fellow cyclists.
Visit her website on www.alexzebedee.co.uk
or send her an email on zebedeeindustries@googlemail.com
- A collector in
South Africa bought a badge which appears to be one of our old club
badges from the 1930s. Click here
to take a look. Update - we've now acquired this badge and some
say it's genuine and others say it's not the same "RRCC".
