Don
Valley Cycles Road Race
Another successful promotion by Martin Maltby. On a fine
night the event went of smoothly. A big Thankyou to all
those who helped in any way. Chris Green who managed to
finish in the bunch and our top roadman Peter
Hinchcliffe who managed a top three placing flew our own
club flag. The top three placings were as follows:
1st
Mark Wordsworth (Dinnington RC)
2nd
Peter Hinchcliffe (Doncaster Wheelers)
3rd
Michael Hope (Pete Read Racing)
The event ended with a
profit of £106.50, which goes into Club funds. A great
performance after an even better performance in the
North Midlands Road Race Championship where he managed
the Silver medal place, just being beaten by Glyn
Shirley of Rutland CC. He was close to clinching the
title but mechanical problems dogged him in the final
stages of the race. Peter has also been in good form in
other local events getting plenty of top ten placings.
We wish him every success for the rest of the season.Not
wanting to be left out, Chris Green recently produced
his first win of the season in the Otley Fish & Chippers
Road Race, congratulations.
Club
Championship 50 Mile Time Trial
Only two riders again
managed to enter this event, (disappointing again after
last years turnout). All this was to no avail as this
year’s downturn in entries forced the cancellation of
this event. The organiser received only 18 entries in
total. A poor show, in what was a local event for local
riders. The Club Championship has now been reset to be
the Sharrow 50 on Sunday 23rd July.Late
News:. Result of Championship 50’ 1st Peter
Hurst 2:04 2nd Trevor Siddons 2:18Peter
also won the 2nd Handicap prize with a 4min
improvement on his personal best time, Congratulations.
Majorca 2001
If you
read the Majorca feature in our last Newsletter, then
you will have noted that preparations are under way for
the 2001 camp. If you are interested then this is your
last call for you to book as numbers are wanting to be
finalised. If you are interested pleas contact Martin at
Don Valley Cycles or John Davis.
Triathlons Anyone?
Not content with bashing around a hilly
time trial into wind on a cold day, some people are
gluttons for punishment! They also want to swim 750m,
bike 20Km and then run
5Km one after another! Strange people.
Seriously we have six members of the Wheelers giving
this branch of sport a go in the Hatfield Triathlon on
Sunday 30th July at 10am. We now have a small
number of triathletes in the club and we welcome them
all. Just remember Lance Armstrong started out as a
triathlete and just look at what he has achieved now.
Best of luck to those taking part.
A
Warm Welcome from……..
I had a letter from Alan Reeves recently
and he wishes me to pass on his best regards to all
those who know him in the Wheelers. He has recently
moved to South Cockerington, Lincolnshire, and although
he had a triple bypass operation 18mnths ago he still
gets about 20 miles a day on the bike. Not bad for a 76
year old, and his main aim? to ride the Club Open 25 in
2002, sixty years after he first rode in the event!
All the Best Alan and we hope to see you
in 2002
