Race A - Under 50's report from the Lead car
Great race by all the riders, from where I was sitting (obviously) leading the under 50's pace race car, this race certainly was contested amongst a number of riders, Will Corden for quite some time taking his turn on the front closely followed by Grahame Sumner of GB Fire Brigade, Paul Bethell, Steve Fidler & Russ Falder. On several occasions the front breakaway group increased their margin to what was at one point was over a 40 second lead then with 2 laps to go the peloton caught up with this breakaway group as we approached the Eccleshall switchback. At this time a different breakaway group formed which took off. Meanwhile Barry Charlton was being "marked" by Stone Wheeler riders thus making Barry's ride pretty tough. This new breakaway group then formed another 30 second lead whereby at the Beech turn we could see a small contingent group trying to cross the gap to get upto the 4 remaining front guys which included Sumner & Bethell. This didn't happen as these 2 guys were carefully taking turns to help each other round but watching as well what the other were doing. the pace here really was on the up as they came down the backside of the Slindon "Vive Le Fat Baz" climb I could see a group closing in but we saw Sumner & Bethell dig in with a real spurt on round the switchback which gave them some space. Along the Swynnerton road on the last leg I think these 2 were having a breather before the final sprint as they seemed to ease off for about a mile until thet reached the "Big Belly" railway bridge where the pace was back up. Catching up with 2 over 50 riders on their last leg these 2 guys seemed to slow down slightly as if it was a test of "who was going to go first" as we passed the Army camp & through the tree covered area to the "Cakey Corden" climb. Just as these 2 reached the peak it was a full thrust balls out effort sprint to "Le Fin" Finish line where Grahame Sumner was triumphant raising his hands in the air for a well earned victory.
Andy & I went upto to give our congratulations to Grahame & Paul who both said," What a great course, great organising & well worth the drive over to compete. We will come back to race here again!"

Race B - Over 50's report from lead car
 
When the race started at the A51 roundabout there was a little bit of cat and mouse until the first railway bridge when four riders attacked taking about 100 meters on the bunch at the climb Just before the Eccleshall turn attacked again nearly running in to my lead car as they took risks going around the turn at full pelt. Whitfield, Parkinson, Rose and Evans worked together to getaway from the bunch which meant we could only see these four riders for the rest of the race. For the next lap these four worked together but it was noticed that Whitfield was not doing a full amount of work but his team mate Parkinson was, coming over the Professional looking Lyme RC finishing line for the second time with all four together, Evans taking on water from his support. Just after the A51 turn there was an attack which left Evans falling back on his own, then on the run through Cotes Heath Whitfield pulled away leaving the other two, when over the railway Whitfield slowed down until the other two caught up again, the two team mates had a talk together and Whitfield taking some gels. Again at the climb before Eccleshalll Whitfield attacked, braking the other two, in the lead car we thought he had got the lap count wrong as he slowed down and started to rock on the climb to Swynnerton, but he powered through the finish for his last lap. Whitfield impressively continued a fast pace, looking over his shoulder at intervals looking for the chasing pack which never turned up. A well deserved win at the finish for Robert Whitfield, my co-pilot and myself had time to park the lead car and stand at the finish before the next two with Tony Parkinson sprinting for second and Phil Rose taking third. Ian Evans came in a distant forth. The rest of the bunch were a long way back.

Great to have a ladies category in a local road race with 4 entrants, Jayne Dickens won her on her 1st Road Race closely followed by Pam Stoddard in 2nd place, I believe this was a very close race between the two & could have gone either way.Both ladies who are fairly new to road racing, first race for Jayne too, stayed with the main bunch throughout, both having stints on the front and getting stuck in. Coming towards the finish line on the 4th and final lap Jayne managed to get a bike length on Pam Stoddard to take the win.

RACE 1

A total of 52 riders signed on for the Under 50s race and these came from the Staffordshire area and the North West, including 7 riders from Stone Wheelers.The Stone Wheelers riders rode as a team to ensure that any breakaway groups contained a Stone Rider or were quickly caught, Richard Barnet acted as the team captain on the road and after 20 miles there were 4 riders ahead of the main pack. Stone riders sensed the danger and put 5 riders on the front of the main group and with Paul Belfield riding hard this breakaway was quickly caught. For the next 35 miles the race remained together, but with 5 miles of the race remaining sensing that it would end in a bunch sprint Stone Wheelers riders kept the pace extremely high to ensure that Richard Barnett would be well placed to win the bunch sprint. With 200 yards to go Richard saw his chance and comfortably won the sprint by a clear bike length. Other local riders who finished in the main pack were Joe Corden , Kevin Allerton, Mark Jackson, Paul Belfield (Stone Wheelers), Nick Dickens, Will Corden (Lyme RC) and Simon Bills (GS Strada).

RACE 2

A total of 37 riders signed on for this race including former Commonwealth Games rider Keith Jones and ex Milk Race rider Alan Kemp. A breakaway quickly formed consisting of 4 riders with Alan Kemp last years winner again taking first place. Included in race 2 were Pamela Stoddard (Stone Wheelers) and Claire Harrison (Newcastle 2001) who were both riding their first road race both finished in the main pack. Other local riders who completed the race were Paul Jennings and Simon Ford who both finished in the main bunch.

Thanks to everyone who has worked so hard to make this another great season in the North West and Isle of Man.

 

During the year there have been 48 events, 19 in the NW and 29 on the IoM.

These can be broken down in each area within the Region as follows: -

·        NW – 18 road / circuit races,  and a Ten Mile sporting course District TT Championship.

            We are pleased to have been able to support the continuation of the Seighford Circuit races, with its focus on younger riders.

·        IoM – 17 road / circuit races and 11 time trials including a 2 up and a 3 up team time trial, a 37 mile mountain time trial and a hill climb.

     This despite ongoing issues with road works which necessitated several changes of course. Once again we have been delighted to support the very successful and popular MTB “End to End” Challenge.Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, a couple of events were either cancelled or rearranged.

 

The Race Organisers, together with some new recruits, all supported by an army of club and family helpers, have made this year’s programme of racing possible.

Once again, on behalf of everyone who has competed this year, I would like to offer a massive vote of thanks to those who have put in the time and effort to enable the competitors to enjoy a wide variety of events. One or two organisers may wish to take a break this year, (A big “Thank you” to Martyn Shaw of Stone Wheelers), so be prepared to fill the gaps and if possible increase the programme. If your club has a lot of competitors and no promotions, how about giving Road Race organising a go?

 

Despite the cancellation of British Cycling’s Mersey 2 Day in March 2009, throughout the Region, we continue to enjoy excellent relationships with Police, both on the NW Mainland and the Isle of Man.

We are very grateful to our National Secretary Richard Lang, and his colleagues in the Cymru Region, for promoting TLI cycling as a professional cycling organisation, by demonstrating to the local Police force that we are competent and safe event promoters. At the time of writing we are the only cycling organisation in N Wales allowed to promote races without the imposition of special conditions.

Please take every opportunity to upheld our excellent reputation as excellent organisers and safe competitors by  expressing appreciation to Officers of the respective Police forces, whenever the opportunity arises.

  

In general the standard and quality of riding in the regions events continues to be high, and everyone, whether they are a competitor, marshal or organiser is to be congratulated for that. Further congratulations to all our region’s members who have enjoyed local and national success this year, not only in TLI cycling events but also in those organised by the LVRC and BC.  

 

During the year, thanks to the computer skills of Geoff Readman, we have continued to maintain an interactive database of the region’s members. We also experimented with an automated e mail system in January, to remind members to rejoin. I think the record for multiple e mails was around 200 to the same recipient! Sincere apologies to anyone we inadvertently inconvenienced.

 

This year there are 338 members in the NW & IoM region, 19 up on 2008. I believe this to be the most ever.

Of our 338 members, 103 are based on the IoM. With the remainder largely from Cheshire, Staffordshire, Merseyside and the Greater Manchester areas. 

Members belong to around 69 cycling clubs and sponsored teams. The top three on the Isle of Man are, Manx Road Club with 34, followed by Manx Viking Wheelers with 33, Ellan Vannin with 21 and the Manx Mountain Bike Club with 13. 

On the mainland, where there are a greater number of clubs, a new entry at Number One is Weaver Valley CC with 17 members, followed by Macclesfield Wheelers and Manchester Wheelers (a new entry!) with 14 each. Liverpool Mercury, Warrington RC, the Seamons CC and Birkenhead NE fill the next four places, all with 10 or more members.  Does any club with lots of members, not already organising an event for TLI cycling or the LVRC, fancy promoting in 2010? There is space on the calendar. Contact me for details, address below.

 

This year Unattached Members have increased to 20. If you are one of them please make every effort to support a local club next season, especially if you have not previously done so. The experience of Sunday Club rides often makes you a far safer competitor.

 

The age structure of the Region’s membership in 2009 was as follows: -

 

• Juveniles / Juniors   (U 19)           33        Down 5 from 2008
•       Espoirs                    (19 – 22)           11           Up 4  
•       Seniors                    (23 – 29)           13           No Change
•       Masters 1 & 2           (30 – 39)           67           Up 9
•       A / B                        (40 – 49)         100           Up 17
•       C / D                        (50 – 59)           67           Up 6
•       E / F                        (60 – 69)           36           Up 4
•       G / H                        (70 +)            11           No Change

 A new venture this Autumn was the NW Mainland Organisers’ meeting. A well attended event at The Crown in Goostrey. As a result of this meeting and similar efforts on the Isle of Man, the provisional programme for 2010 will soon be available on the website.  

Thanks to everyone for their support at those meetings and during the year. Have a safe and happy Winter season and best wishes for a successful 2010.
