PTTL special

The latest points position for the Portsdown Time Trial League has been published which shows we are, narrowly, top team with three events to go.
We are four points ahead of Fareham Wheelers and eight ahead of Portsmouth North End.

Individual scores

In the individual rankings our best placed rider is Shaun Smart in 6th place with Mike Marchant right behind him in 7th. Special mention should be made of Alistair Mallet who is our third rider in 17th place. Alistair has ridden all but one of the events so far this year and he has improved tremendously as a rider. Alistair is an exemplar of what can be achieved through dogged perserverence.

Thanks Mike

Mike Marchant is entirely responsible for us being in the PTTL. Mike lobbied the committee and despite some opposition persuaded them that we would be a positive addition. I think this is true. We have not dominated the event, but we have added to the number of participants and Mike promoted our own event.

Southdown Velo PTTL event

One of the conditions of joining the PTTL was that we promote our own event. As mentioned above, Mike Marchant took on the task of this promotion using a brand new course centred around Goodwood. A very successful morning blessed with glorious weather. Full results here.

Next events

The remaining events are on:
9 August, 07:30, 35Km on the P822
13 September, 08:00, 15 miles on the P851
27 September, 08:00, 10 miles on the P829/10A

Racing round up

Congratulations to Adam Cooke who won the 2-lap time trial for ABC youths at Angmering last Monday. He also had a 2nd in the Kieran. Declan Inglis and Joseph Marchant also finished in the top three. Overall result for the evening on points was Adam 2nd, Declan 4th, Joseph 9th, Conrad Dinwiddy 14th, James Gleeson 15th and George Phillips 17th. A fantastic turnout for the club. Well done to all of them.
Toby Neave entered and rode the national road race championships in Wales. Possibly the most star studded race ever for a national chmapionships. It's been a very long time since anyone from Southdown Velo rode the national road race. Unfortunately Toby's race was spoiled by a plastic bag and being stuck behind crashes. Chapeau to Toby for having a go.
Simon Pattinson was 33rd and Mark Warrington was 41st at Dunsfold.
Mark Warrington was 15th in the 3/4 race at Portsmouth with Chris Dobson 40th. In the elite race I was 4th and Toby Neave 6th for Toby to take the series lead.

Upcoming events

19th July is the Chichester March which includes mountain bike events starting from Lavant. Details.
7-9th August is the Woesten, Flanders 25th International Chmapionship. My highlight of the year. A great race. See me for more details.
20th September is the two-up time trial Duo Normand. See here for more details.

Mike Marchant

Mike Marchant has given notice that he intends, for personal reasons, to stand down from his various TT roles at the end of the year. If you would like to take these on please have a word with Mike. I'm sure I speak for all when I thank Mike for all his hard work which includes getting us, despite some strong opposition, accepted into the Portsdown TT League.

New British Cycling Plan

British Cycling have published details of their four year plan. Please take time to read this and come up with suggestions as to how we can support it. A cyclo-sportive starting and finishing in Chichester sounds like a good idea!
