Ladies' Winner : | Julia Freeman |
Mark Edmonds recorded a time of 1.14.31 for 12th place and Jim Miller 1.28.00 for 30th place in the Lea Valley 30, won by Jason White (JD Cycles) in a rapid 1.5.15 which broke Keith Andrewartha's record from the 32nd Assoc event by over 2 minutes.
ResultPaul was the fastest of a large turnout of Easterley members and friends of Paul's whom he had pursuaded to ride - 19 seconds quicker than Julia. Jim Lewis did a pb of 28.30 which was his first time inside 'evens'. Richard Jordan's 6th place was enough to secure his overall victory in the Club Events Points Championship.

The float conditions of the morning were replaced by a stiff breeze in the afternoon and made the going harder than the previous week. Andy improved by 4 seconds to 24.07 for 8th place overall and 3rd Handicap. Fastest was Gary Poole (Api) in 22.29
ResultBrian Bent and Andy Ballentyne both rode this midweek event in the hot and windy conditions with Brian recording 34.10 and Andy 24.11 although he was suffering from sore legs after a hard weekend's racing. Fastest by a long way was professional Jamie Burrow (Amore E Vita/PCA Ciclos Uno) with an extremely rapid 20.19 who was getting in some time trialling practise before this weekend's circuit championships. Second place was Jason White in 21.03
Both Julia Freeman and husband (and 2nd claim member) Steve punctured in the torrential rain and windy conditions that greeted the riders in this midweek event. Andy Ballentyne chose to place safe with pressures rather than tubs and with the road flooded in places didn't regret that descision in view of the number of punctures suffered by riders during the event, although he was disappointed with his time of 52.06. The winner was Glenn Taylor (APi) in 45.43 which put him well clear of joint second placed riders Martin Meades and Neil Dowie (both Api) in 46.46, even though Glenn also suffered from a puncture near the finish.
Julia Freeman did 1-3-23 for 11th overall in this Spoco counting event. Fastest overall was Jason White in an amazing 54-41 who beat next placed rider Paul Smith by 3 minutes. Fastest lady was Julia Shaw in 1-2-18. Julia confesses to being a bit disappointed with her ride as she did not feel that great.
As happened last year, it all came down to a nailbiting climax to the evening 10 series with Andy needing to win to take the
series which is decided on the best 10 places out of the 15 events. Andy's time of 24.05 was his third best of the series and quite
respectable considering he had just come back from holiday, but Paul had saved the best till last and did another PB for the
course in 23.53. Julia was third just one second behind Andy.
This all means that Paul retains the Twilight Trophy with 180 points and Andy was
second with 172. Julia was third with 140 and first Lady.

Paul was fastest of the three Easterley members and in Andy's absence retakes the lead the Twilight Trophy. This means that if Andy can win the final event he will take the series by two points. If not then Paul will win.

Julia rode the De Laune 25 on the Q25/8 in Chilham in Kent, a counting event for SPOCO and managed to knock a few more seconds off her own vets record with a 1-00-15. She was fastest lady and 12th overall. Winner of the event was former Yellow Jersey holder Sean Yates in 53-14
It was very close between the top three with Andy coming home 3 seconds ahead of Paul, who was a further 3 seconds faster
than Julia. Paul's 12 year old son Jim, after his win in the National Youth Series event at Milton Keynes and then the London
to Cambridge (and back) at the weekend, did a PB of 30.10 with the added incentive of new carbon forks if he can break evens.
Andy moves ahead of Paul by 2 points in the Twilight Trophy in both the overall total,
but more importantly the best 10 performances which decide the trophy. Andy however misses next week and so will need to beat Paul
in the final event.

Julia travelled over to Aylesbury to ride the North Bucks event and was rewarded with fastest in her group with a time of 50.39. Fastest was top roadman Danny Axford in 44.22
ResultsConditions were breezy but with the wind in the right direction meant a fast run down to the Alma Arms. Andy just got the better of Paul to close the gap to 3 points in the Twilight Trophy with 3 events remaining. Both Andy and Paul will start to drop their worst performances as they now have 10 qualifying times.

Another week and another club record for Julia Freeman! Julia was 6th overall in the Southend event with a 2.6.06 to knock another two minutes off her own Vets 40-49 record set in the Maldon event this year. Fastest was Paul Smith (Shaftesbury CC) in 1.56.06.
After the previous two events being cancelled (road works and heavy rain), conditions were very good although the light breeze was the wrong direction for the course. Andy just missed going under 24 minutes (although he was held up by a horse and cart which cost a few seconds) to beat Paul by 24 seconds. Paul was feeling tired however after his ride in Le Marmotte cyclo sportive. Julia recorded 25 dead and new members Andy Ellis and Joanna Burch Brown both improved to 26.22 and 33.45 respectively.

Julia Freeman and new member Andy Ellis both rode the Essex Roads 25 on the E91/25. Julia record an excellent 1-00-34 for 8th
overall, 1st lady and 2nd lady on handicap for another vets record and a probable Ladies course record. Andy Ellis was more
disappointed with his ride however, recording 1-7-32.
Fastest was Nick Hastler (Essex Roads) in 57-34, just catching Julia for 3 minutes on the line!
Julia rode the Maldon 10 and did 24.07 to be beaten by Sue Wright by 1 second in the humid conditions.
Fastest was Glenn Taylor in 22-18.
Mark Edmonds did 59.45 in the ECCA E4/25 for 12th overall and 3rd on handicap. The winner was Keith Andrewartha (Shaftesbury CC) with an excellent 53.18 and Murat Ozdenya (PCA Ciclos Uno) 2nd in 53.51.
Full ResultAndy BAllentyne did a 57.21 for a PB (last three years) and a 4.11 improvement to win the biggest improvement prize in the Shaftesbury Middlemarkers 25 (56.30 LTS) although he had hoped to go a bit quicker and perhaps get a time that would put him in good stead for the Billroy trophy fastest 25 on age standard). He rode his track bike (92.6") but probably would have been better off on his low profile as the wind was a lot stronger at Newmarket than at home and could have used a bigger gear going out. Winner of the event was Chaz Hollosi (Gemini BC) in 54.50
Full ResultThe warm conditions with just a gentle breeze allowed a number of riders to inprove this week. Andy went back to his preferred fixed wheel but dropped the gear down to 90.6" and managed to get inside 24 minutes for the first time on this course. His first lap time of 11.47 was exactly the same as Mark Edmonds who was making his first outing of the year. Mark however was quicker on the second lap however and recorded 23.42 for the win.

Simon rode the Chelmer 25 but confessed to being disappointed with his 1.10.31 on a sultry morning with a rising wind on the return leg.
The conditions were windy but in the right direction meant most riders improved this week except Andy who dropped back to 24.52 for 2nd place. Paul improved to 24.32 for the win.

Julia finally broke the 24-20 barrier to get the Vets 40-50 record from her mother Wendy. She rode the SPOCO Woolwich 10 on the Q24/10 on the Isle of Grain in Kent to record 23-59. The course is flat course but exposed and in the windy conditions she had to the drops all the way back from the turn although it was very fast out. The winner was Paul Smith in 21-35.
There were only small improvements this week in the windy conditions although it was a bit warmer than the previous event. Paul Martin was again the only one to break 25 minutes and continued to extend his lead in the Twilight Trophy.

Mark opened his season with a 1.03.34 in the Crest 25 for approximately 17th position and 8th on handicap. Fastest was Murat Ozdenya (PCA Ciclos Uno) in 56.07
Julia just missed the Ladies Vets 40-50 record again, this time by 2 seconds after equalling her own Mother's record last year. Her time of 24.22 put her 43 seconds clear of Sue Gray to win the Ladies events and also gave her a prize for the 3rd biggest improvment. The conditions were far from ideal however as Zak Carr's time of 20.38 showed and it is surely only a matter of time before she does get the record.
Julia didn't let a slow puncture hinder her down on the way to winning the second event of the series on a chilly evening. Her time of 25.06 was too good for Paul and Andy who both went back on the first event. Richard got the better of Russell by four seconds and Simon, Jim and Brian all improved as well.

Winner of the event was multi national champion Michael Hutchinson (API-Metrow Foods) in a new course and event record of 51.16.

Richard Jordan and Simon Macfeeters resumed their rivalry with Richard gaining his revenge from the club 25. Andy Page (PCA Ciclos Uno) was the fastest rider on the night, his time of 24:44 reflecting the stiff headwind on the first leg of each lap.

Michael Hutchinson (API - Metrow) scored an expected win in our Open Hilly 25.2 mile time trial around the undulating Thaxted Circuit. He was more than 3 minutes clear of 2nd placed rider, veteran Ray Hughes (Clarence Wheelers) who were the only two to go under the hour.
The Easterley's own Julia Freeman was the fastest Lady to win the Maud Harrison trophy in 1.8.55 with the Shaftesbury's Claire Lee in second spot with 1.11.55, although Claire had the consolation of being in the winning team along with Bruce Robinson (1.2.15) and Dave Meisner (1.14.10).

Simon MacFeeters made his racing comeback after many years out to record 1.11.44 in the 32nd Association 25 and just get the better of Richard Jordan by 10 seconds. To quote Simon 'The two fat blokes went head to head in the 32nd association 25 on Easter Sunday with me riding my first 25 for 4 years and first competitive race for three years beating Richard by 10 seconds thus setting up a potential season long challenge. The respective times were 1:11:44 and 1:11:54, ridden on the E1 in dull cold conditions leaving plenty of room for improvement over the coming months'!
Fastest in the event was Keith Andrewartha (Shaftesbury CC) in 58.34 on a chilly morning with Paul Smith (Shaftesbury CC) second in 59.31 and Chris Negus (Shaftesbury CC) third in 1.00.58.

The continuing cold and icy conditions caused the start to be delayed by half an hour, which together with a nagging head wind on some stretches meant the times were significantly slower than previous years.
Andy Ballentyne gave his new road bike a try out and despite the saddle coming loose at half distance, went round in 1.24.53 which was good enough to win the Vets 40-50 prize and the Group C award.
Fastest was Tristan Davenne (Elite CC) in 1.16.10 followed by Jason White (J.D.Cycles) in 1.16.35.
This event was cancelled due to snow and icy conditions making the course potentially unsafe
