31 October 2009 - Result In Bristol Duathlon

Well done to Rob Dixon who came third in the Bristol Duathlon last Sunday.  Rob was second fastest on the bike leg and only one of three to go under the hour.  Pics and results on

 

Second claim Anna Fisher (Max Gear RT) won the Ladies National Hill Climb with a time of 4:55.2 over the 1200 yard course.  Anna beat reigning champion and favourite Lyn Hamel (Team NCA) by 0.5 seconds.  Looks like Anna played it cool as Lyn was up by 13 seconds on the split. Making it three in a row Severn's Neil Bessitt retained his title in the C category (50-59) with a time of 4:11.7 and was also faster than the winner of the 45-49 category by some considerable margin too!

13th August 2009 - Evening 10 Week 18 and Final Arthur Powell results
A dry, windy, night saw some decent times with event winner Rob Lyne coming within a second of his course record. It was the final night in the Arthur Powell series with another personal best by Tim Fenner extending his lead and a PB from Rob Pritchard allowing him to leap over Ray Hughes into second place. Congrats to all three and commiserations to Mike Lane who just missed out on a podium place by two seconds in the final event! Evening 10 results here and Arthur Powell standings are here.

9th August 2009 - SRC Open 25 results
Calm and pleasant conditions for standing out in the sun watching folk race made a welcome change to previous "Summer 25" conditions. Thanks to Martin for organising an excellent event, with results up on the Open Events page.

9th August 2009 - Evening 10 Week 17 and Arthur Powell Week 9
Unseasonably warm and dry conditions saw 58 riders take part in the 17th evening 10 event and the penultimate counting event in the Arthur Powell series. The decent condition saw Rob Lyne take the win on the night with Freddie Lewton improving his own course record. Tim Fenner once more improved his best time and looks to have gained a commanding lead in the AP trophy competition. A well timed improvement from Rob Pritchard saw him close to within a point of second place behind Ray Hughes. With next week being the final AP event, second and third place are still easily up for grabs. Evening 10 results here and Arthur Powell standings are here.

29th July 2009 - Evening 10 Week 16
Due to the inclement weather resulting in unacceptable road conditions for racing, tonights event was cancelled. As such, the Arthur Powell series will be extended by a further week to compensate.

25th July 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 15 and Arthur Powell Week 8
With times slightly slower again in inclement weather conditions, Dave Keene again took the win on the night though not as quick as in the previous week. There are only two weeks to go in the Arthur Powell series, and although there was no change in the order for the top three, it's still open to any one of the three to take the championship. Evening 10 results here and Arthur Powell standings are here.

18th July 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 14 and Arthur Powell Week 7
Breezy conditions saw a few course records being set with Dave Keene setting a V50 record and winning the event for his first ride on the course. There was a slight change in the Arthur Powell series with Tim Fenner taking over the lead. Only three counting events in that competition now. Evening 10 results here and Arthur Powell standings are here.

11th July 2009 - SRC Summer 10
Results for the "Summer" 10 ran by Ian Woolford can be found here. Congrats to Matt, Roadblock and Jerry for taking the team result.

8th July 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 13 and Arthur Powell Week 6
Slightly chilly conditions and an unfavourable wind saw very few riders making improvements and therefore little change to the top three in the Arthur Powell series. Congratulations to both Jerry and Mark for bucking the trend and improving their own bests to take first and second place overall. Evening 10 results here and Arthur Powell standings are here.

5th July 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 12 and Arthur Powell Week 5
Decent conditions saw 55 riders turn out for the weekly evening 10 on what was the halfway point of the Arthur Powell competition. There was no change to the overall standings in the AP series even though the warm conditions saw a number of PB's and new course records for Astrid Gibbs, Jacqueline Wadsworth and Jane Leslie. Evening 10 results here and Arthur Powell standings are here.

26th June 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 11 and Arthur Powell Week 4
Excellent conditions on the night resulted in most riders setting a personal best with new course records in a number of categories including the overall. The glut of PB's has shaken up the Arthur Powell series which has developed into a three horse race with 6 counting events remaining meaning it's still possible for a number of other riders to catch up. Evening 10 results here and Arthur Powell standings are here.

Errata: A correction to a previous statement. It has been decided that the original scoring system will be retained and as such GCCC are now classified as the winners of the 2009 InterClub due to their total number of points vastly exceeding all the other clubs...

22nd June 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 10 and Arthur Powell Week 3
Poor weather conditions saw a smaller than usual turn out and very little change to the overall results in the Arthur Powell series. Congrats to Jerry Seymour for taking the victory on the night. Evening 10 results here and Arthur Powell standings are here.

11th June 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 9 and Arthur Powell Week 2
On a night of strange weather patterns, 52 riders took part in the Evening 10 competition with some stunning improvements in times that has already resulted in some big scoring in the Arthur Powell series. Simon Haward won (again), though Paul Chapman, Bernie Brown, Freddie Lewton and Rachel Johnson all set records in their respective categories. A breakaway group of four riders is apparent in the Arthur Powell series, with SRC riders Mike Lane and Tim Fenner in the joint lead on 22 points. Very early days though... Evening 10 results here and Arthur Powell standings are here.

A reminder to all evening 10 participants: Could riders refrain from using the field behind the back of the HQ as "facilities". The fields are overlooked by a number of houses and complaints have been made. The Parish Council have kindly allowed us to use the (almost perfect) location we're currently based in, so it would be a shame to lose it! Efforts are underway to identify if an alternate choice is possible...

3rd June 2009 - InterClub 10 and Evening 10 results
The annual interclub 10 was held on the U7b between SRC, Dursley, Gloucester and Bristol South. 59 riders signed on with GCCC again dominating in numbers. The event was ran this year by SRC (particularly Dave Boddy who did an excellent job) with the points scheme modified slightly from previous years whereby 60 pts for fastest, 59 for second etc as in previous years with the addition of removing the weighting towards riders by scoring the overall as an average points per number of riders.

It's not a stich up but Severn RC finally won the event after years of being close. Overall scores were SRC 38.83, GCCC 32.79, DRC 29.06, BSCC 25.11. Complete results can be found here.

Evening 10 results can be found here. On a fast night where the SRC fastmen were taking part in the Interclub Rob Lyne took the win with records improved in the VL40, VL50, U16 and V60 categories. A large number of riders improved on their best times though note that this week was not an Arthur Powell counting event and those times will not count towards the competition!

31st May 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 7 and Arthur Powell Week 1
For the first time in a few weeks, Simon Haward didn't win the SRC evening 10 on what was a blustery but dry evening. Results can be found here. This was the first event in the Arthur Powell series (with a weeks break while the Interclub 10 is held next week) that saw Adam Iles ride into a commanding lead with almost two minutes improvement. Very early days in the competition though with current Arthur Powell standings here. Next wednesday is the annual Interclub 10 held on the U7b (A38 north of Stone to Whitminster roundabout and back), though a normal evening 10 will also be held for those riders who can't make it out to the Interclub.

24rd May 2009 - Paul Breaks the Hour
For the first time in may a year Paul Chapman broke the hour with a 58:41 on the R25/7 in Wales this morning.  It was warm and sunny with a headwind, which by the time Paul (and Steve H) started, had dropped enough for Paul to record his time.  Well done that man!   The other Severn riders were Steve Hocter who did a seasons best of 1:05:50 and Matthew Burbridge who did a 54:50 (as I said there was a head wind!).  Also Astrid Gibbs (once an Severn rider always a severn rider) broke the hour with a 58:43. Well done to both Paul and Astrid!

 

23rd May 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 6
A reasonable but breezy day saw Simon Haward continue to dominate the evening 10 series setting a new course record in the process. He was joined by Freddie Lewton (J15), Astrid Gibbs (LS) and Gordon Lewis (V6) who all set records in their respective categories. Results can be found here. Don't forget that the Arthur Powell series begins next week.

15th May 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 5
After a wet day, the rain held off to leave damp roads and a fast course. Simon Haward again took the result matching his best time and the course record. Results can be found here.

8th May 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 4
Surpassing the toughness of the previous week with strong gales, times were again down on previous weeks. It didn't stop Simon Haward from winning again with a slightly slower time indicating that a tailwind on the final section may be fun but doesn't make for a fast course overall. Results can be found here.

30th April 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 3
On what was probably the toughest night so far on the new course, times were generally down on previous weeks. It didn't stop Simon Haward from putting in an excellent ride to pip the fledgling course record by a mere two seconds and ensure for the first time that the Senior and Vet's course records are distinct. Results can be found here.

24th April 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 2
Another good night and a much larger field for the second week of the evening 10 season. Congratulations to Chris Madge for setting a course record and knocking Matt out of the record books already! Results can be found here.

15th April 2009 - Evening 10 Results Week 1
With the passing of a fairly severe thunderstorm 90 minutes before the off, the first of the evening 10 series was conducted in pleasant conditions, albeit with damp roads. Congratulations to Matt Burbridge for setting a course record - helped by this being the first event on the new Olveston based circuit. Results can be found here.
