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.
As some of you may have noticed, for a small fee (slightly more than a penny) we have secured use of the "Home" toilets in Olveston sports club. If not open, the key is available at the signing-on desk. Paul also asks that riders remember that there are large tractors moving around on the course cutting and baling at this time of the year so make sure to keep to the left-hand side of the road on bends.
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.
