Meanwhile down on the A31

There's been a bit of controversy down at the evening timetrials on the A31 over the last few weeks with a rider-car incident. Cue letter in the local paper asking for a ban on TTs on the road. And other letters for the defense of the timetrials. So watch out for speeding car drivers, talking on mobile phones and forgetting that it doesn't matter what the 'vehicle' in front of you is it's your responsibility not to drive into it . Meanwhile the racing has continued with the same riders setting the times.

While Gabriel Martinez is consistently the fastest rider Chris Day is keeping the gap respectable with only 21 seconds between them over ten miles. Nick Humby turned in a short 24 for 7th. Over 25 miles the gap's gone out a bit with both riders turning in fast times - Gabriel in 53.52 and Chris 56.06. Rumour has it that Gabriel ducked under the 20 minute mark this week for a 10 mile TT.

Eelmore Photographs

You might have spotted Duncan Smith at Eelmore over the past few weeks - he's the guy lying within inches of your chain rings as you bank it over in the hairpins.

Duncan has some great photographs on his website http://www.therollingimage.com

Check the Eelmore galleries for a picture of yourself and order a copy using the onsite order form - none of me there yet :((

Eelmore Circuit Race Photographs

Argentina photo exhibition

Chris Linaker is a local cyclist and photographer who recently won a national competition to go to Argentina to take sporting phototgraphs - he chose cycling as his subject. Chris is a recent graduate of the well regarded University of the Creative Arts which is based in Farnham. Later in the year he will be working at the Commonwealth Games in India and possibly looking for some local subjects.

You can see some of the work at:

Trying the WXCRL

An alternative to the Surrey League is the Wessex Cycle Racing League which is mostly held around.....Wessex. A quick blast down the M3 from Fleet and you're there. The organisers are currently looking for riders to support the Barnsfield Heath races which are held on a good 3.5 mile off road - ie no traffic - circuit. They need around 70 riders per race day spread across the different category races to break even.

Some of us recently went down to the WXCRL races on the Applemore circuit in the New Forest for a couple of evening mid-week 2/3/4 events. It made a nice change of scenery and the journey time was similar to going to Goodwood. It's an attractive fast circuit and the first race finished with three of us in the top ten. There were hundreds of horses around but with no riders on them they seemed to behave and keep away from the bunch unlike the large cow that wandered across the road on the last lap. Second race and Mark Ottaway set out his plan early not to go in any breaks - unlike the previous week. This time it worked perfectly and with everything coming together shortly before the finish, come the uphill drag to the line it was Mark who timed his jump perfectly to take the win.

FridayFun - Don't cross this lady

Cycling guinea pigs wanted

We are looking to recruit well trained male cyclists between the ages of 18 and 40 for our upcoming research here at Brunel University, West London. We will be investigating the effects of progressive dehydration on cerebral blood flow and oxygenation during prolonged submaximal and maximal exercise in the heat.

The study will involve measurements of cerebral oxygenation, cerebral blood flow, core temperature and blood pressure during prolonged submaximal and maximal cycling exercise in a warm environment. Subjects will experience dehydration during exercise and when maintaining hydration status by ingesting fluids.

This study requires 5 separate visits to the laboratory. The first visit will be used to assess your maximal aerobic capacity (i.e., V02 max) and will last no longer than 30 minutes. Visits 2-3 will incorporate cycling in the heat, which will last a maximum of 2 hours each. The final 2 visits will
be the main experiment consisting of the progressive dehydration trial and the euhydration or normal hydration trial and will last 5-6 hours each.

If you are interested in participating or have any questions regarding our study please feel free to contact myself or my research partner Inaki.

Please would you forward to this onto members of your club.


Kind Regards,

Benjamin Garcia ss09bbg@brunel.ac.uk

Youth racing @ Eelmore

With a few Eelmores left there's time to get kids to try racing on a safe circuit and keep them away from more unsuitable sports. See the incentives section for free membership and details of how they can earn easy pocketmoney from the club by racing.

Flying vets

With a second and a third in the lead up to the National LVRC Criterium Championships a win was on the cards for Jason Edwards and he promptly delivered in the 40-45 A category. In the B event (45 - 49yrs) a three man break got away chased by a 5 man group with Craig Wilson and Ashley Holding in it. Ashley Holding eventually finished 6th and Craig 7th.

The following weekend the next round of the LVRC MSTina jersey series was held on the no recovery sufferfest that is our local course - Cutmill. The A and B event was held round 8 laps with many VCMs and CVs were in action. CV Tim Costello got away with Matt Seaton at around half distance. They were then joined by Craig Wilson and Ashley Holding who managed to get across the gap while yelling at Tim to slow down. The 4 man group then held on to the finish with Ashley winning ahead of Matt Seaton, Tim and Craig. Dave Larcombe then jumped away from the bunch on the last lap to be the best of the rest.

Reporting from CW. For those confused by the CV thing (there have been a few questions recently) - this is the Ciclisti Vecchi, which is the Meudon over 40s 'club' which also has members from other clubs but who ride vets races for the CV. And which allows Keith to order another set of kit. Hope that's cleared that one up.
