[VC Walcot] VC Walcot: End of Season Race Round-up

[Chalk, Laurie]

Hi All, 
 
Thought I'd give you an update of a very busy couple of weeks for the
club.
 
The cyclo-cross season is well under way with 2 rounds of the Western
League already completed. At the Gloucester City event 2 weeks ago Barry
once again made the podium with Pete hot on his heals in 6th. Mark Smith
finished in the main field. On Sunday the Western and Wessex leagues
combined in Swindon with over 120 riders taking part in the main race.
Pete finished in a very competitive 17th overall just behind the elite
riders,  Mark Smith and Jon Brunt rolled in with the main bunch. Jon in
particular got to know the course well inspecting it from a very close
angle on a couple of occasions ;-) The Western League continues
throughout the winter so if you fancy keeping Barry and Pete company and
representing the club then why not give it a go?
 
Mark and Pete were in action the day before as well at the Yeovil CC
Open 10 on U30/10 based at Podimore just off the A303. Barry, Michelle,
Low, Mark and I also entered. The light winds and warm September
sunshine made for some fast times on a course not considered to be one
of the fastest. 
 
Barry 21:21 (3rd)
Pete 22:28 (19th)
Laurie 24:47 (PB)
Low 25:34 (4th lady)
Mark 25:55
Michelle 27:20 (PB)
 
If you ever want to end the season in a relaxed atmosphere head for this
event. Good HQ, fastish course and great post-race cake. What more can I
say!
 
Congratulations also go out to Tavis and Ian S who I'm told have gained
their 3rd Cat licenses for next year. Can't quote any results because I
don't have them to hand but I'm sure they tell you all about it when you
next see them. 
 
Finally, if you're not riding or marshalling on Sunday for the Open Hill
Climb then please come along and support. Pete and James F have put a
huge amount of work in getting this event off the ground. I can't stress
enough what a big thing this is for the club! It promises to be a
fantastic afternoon with plenty of good local and even national riders
on show.  
 
See you all there.
