The second event of the year was probably the windiest I’ve been involved in, and I’ve been coming to these events very regularly for 10 years now. Several people were watching social media during the day in the expectation I would cancel but I let them down. Thankfully no one was blown off their bikes but we did have some pneumatic problems relating to punctures although only poor Dave King DNF’d and had started to walk back from Ogle before he was rescued – thanks Katherine and Hilton. Ronnie Thompson signed on but decided the gusts were going to be too much for his 84 year old frame so wisely DNS’d – an unusual occurrence at an event you sign up for almost on the line, but not the first to do this.

As you will see times were generally down on the last event but notably Paul Crotty and Matthew Batson defied the conditions and let their progressive form shine through.

We had a top 3 of local club riders, with a very impressive time from Jay Pitt and Harry Walker showing the intervening 18 years have cost him just 15 seconds. Chris Browell was the first of the road bikes.

The TVCC win went to Mike James despite his deflating tyres. Then the Vags aero riders including Chris Bartram with clip-ons, before a very impressive ride from Mick Garrick, showing his form after his rapid MTT on Sunday and leading home the Saturday Vags MAMILs(forgive me please – I don’t know how else to describe us!)

Next time it’s the 25 for the really committed, but it has the bonus of a trophy for the Vags winner as the championship event and a chance to top the competition table with a complete set of 2 10s and a 25 for the faithful in the short distance BAR.

My thanks as always to my marshals Kath, Hugh, Keith, Dave and Don who was out on the course but never made it to the HQ.

The inaugural Club TT of 2022 was enjoyed by 18 riders on Thursday 12 May on our 10 mile course out of Ponteland. It was cool and windy so not the fastest of nights but dry and suitable for an early season event.

I was delighted to have abundant volunteers – many thanks to all who helped/offered, and a total of 13 Vagabond entries including committed TT riders and lots of new road bike entries.

Its early days yet to see who will head up the road bike championship but I will be splitting the RB and TT bikes out for independent competitions over the season, and adding an age handicap.

Come along and set your time for the 10 mile course, next event is on Thursday 26 May. 

There may not be many riders fancy their chances against Ken’s fusion of man and machine but can anyone topple Chris Urron’s 28:21 – currently the high point for mortals on a road bike. I’m sure Paul will be back to trim at least a second off his time – it wasn’t for lack of trying, he was working hard over the line from what I could hear. And well done to Mark B and Luke safely over the 20 mph barrier on road bikes – I`m sure they will be back for faster rides with warmer, calmer conditions. Russ took the Vags win with a creditable 24:24 which bodes well for his season as the conditions improve.

Good to see Austin and Danny back in the Thursday night saddle after a long hiatus, and a mention for Matthew who is flying the flag for the juniors. Any ladies fancy taking up the challenge?

Non Vags riders were stalwarts of Thursday nights, Keith, Francis and David Cole but with the addition of Simon Crisp our winner on the night and Dave King with a very creditable 27:45 on a road bike, both riding our event for the first time. Thanks for coming and hope to see you again.

If anything in the results doesn’t look right please let me know (drnickw@gmail.com)

DNS-A	Owen Jeffries		Gosforth RC

Sunny evening with a moderate westerly making life hard for the ride to Belsay faced the 28 riders who turned up for the inaugural Covid club TT of 2020, run under very different conditions from previous years but everyone behaved well. Thank you.

Great to see so many new faces – 13 riders hadn’t been round our course before, and many were youngsters which bodes well for the future. Particularly impressive that they also inspired their parents to ride.

Despite the wind there were 7 PBs including a new course record, testament to the training people have been able to do in lockdown I suspect and bodes well for a fast night.

I`ve only been in charge of the TTs for 6 years and Roger assures me his ride wasn’t a PB as he went faster in 1997. 

Many thanks to the marshals – Sharon Hugh Alan Tony Ken and Cliff.

Next weeks 25 is open for business.

Very sorry to hear our DNS (with apologies) was due to a training accident resulting in a broken arm. Get well soon Daniel.
