15/08/11 Club 10 Event 15 & Championship Results

Well that’s it over for the 2011 Featherstone, South Elmsall, Askern Time Trial Series.

 This last event was not included in the championship but was well supported. Suppose the feed encouraged people. Sorry about the delay of the food but this was completely out of my control and disappointing.

 A well done to Derick Atter, Askern who managed to get under the 24 minutes (75 years young) for the first time this year and J Smithies (F) for completing her 1^st time trial without incident.

 Well done to you all and another successful year completed.

 Thanks to the small army of people who volunteered to marshal on the evening (more marshals than competitors) and fetch all the equipment back in.

 Throughout the series there has been a small group of people in the background who have to be mentioned. Bill Bunce, Nige from Askern, John Martin South Elmsall who manned the finish line. Young Barry Dawson who was dropped in the deep end with signing on, pushing off, assisting at the finish and being chief photographer.

Use the links section and see if your there.

Next there’s the controller, Shaun McKenner who did the admin yet again and shame on those who put the wrong monies in. Still he’s on the case and as a ex police inspector is well versed in the ways of detection, so watch your door. Sadly Shaun has decided withdraw from next years series and I will miss him very much. It would be nice if someone could jump into his slot on a regular basis so give me a call.

 This year we have had 96 riders who completed just short of 4000 miles. Clubs that have attended where:-

 Featherstone, South Elmsall, Askern, BBM, Sports Cover, Selby, Rockingham, Ravensthorpe, Cliffton, Doncaster Wheelers, Blue Lagoon TC, Planet X, Team Swift, Air Valley.

 The next event will be the Hill Climb on Sunday 18^thSeptember on the High Hoyland course. This is normally included in the Sunday run meeting at Castleford as usual and then out to the course.

The course is 0.81 mile long and is 1000 yds East of the A636 on Lintherop Lanemap ref 110/274118 with a start time of approx 10.30 ish. If you intend to travel by car please park well away from the base of the climb as parking is restricted.

 Following this there is the Clubs Open 10 on Saturday 24^th September. Please, please come and help this event.

YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU. After the disappointing turn out for the road race lets hope we can ensure the riders safety. It’s in the afternoon and some roads will be busy and require you to reduce risks.

 Off the soap box now!
