Hainault 2-up 25

Saturday Sunday 15th October - E1/25

We had two teams in the Hainault 2-up Paul this year. Martin and son Jim did 1.0.55 in the Hainault 2-up 25. "I did a bit more on the front than Jim but I regarded that as an investment - next year he can tow me around" writes Paul!. Justin Browne and Graham Smith recorded 1.6.21. Winners were Neil Dowie and Gary Emposn (API Metrow) with 53.38

ECCA 10

Saturday 30th September - E2/10

A personal best, the year's fastest and a new Vet's 40-50 record (by 1 second) for Paul Martin with a 22.21 in the ECCA event on the E2 for 11th place overall and 5th on handicap. The winner was Sam Barker (API Metrow) with 20.27.

Club 10

Saturday 23rd September - E1/10

Ever keen Paul Martin won the final club event of the year in convincing fashion with 23.46 in the warm conditions with a gentle breeze blowing the riders out to the turn at Stumps Cross. Second placed Julia secured her win in the Club Event Points Championship.

32nd Association 25

Saturday 9th September 2006 - E1/25c

Julia did a 1.2.21 for 1st lady and 4th overall in the 32ns Association 25 despite an operation during the week on a tooth that required a general anaesthetic and antibiotics. Fastest was Mark Howard (Shaftesbury) in 57-05. Andy Ballentyne punctured.

32nd Association 25

Sunday 2nd September 2006 - E1/25c

Jim Lewis qualified for the Junior Championship with a 1.8.08 in the club 25. Fastest was Bruce Robinson (Shaftesbury CC) in 1.00.03

Spoco 10

Wednesday 31st August

This was reduced to 9 miles due to road works and Julia did 21.51 for 1st lady. Fastest was Murat Ozdenya (PCA Ciclos Uno) in 19-34.

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 8th August - E14/10b

A warm night with just a gentle breeze meant fast conditions and it was a close tussle for 2nd place between Paul, Andy and Julia, with Paul's faster 1st lap giving him the edge. Mark was the clear winner however in 23.05, despite flying back from a weeks holiday in Canada the previous day.
The 15 points Paul gained for 2nd place means he is the winner of the Twilight Trophy

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 1st August - E14/10b

With the heat wave finally over, conditions were much cooler with a strong blustery wind. With a number of riders away it was left to just two riders fight it out with Andy getting the better of Julia.
Mark was the big loser in the Twilight Trophy however, opting for a last minute holiday instead of riding the 10 which would have made an uphill task for Paul in the final event - barring mechanicals etc. As it now stands, Paul is almost certain to win - again barring any mishaps.

Norland Combine 25

Saturday 29th - Guilden Morden

Julia rode the Norland Combine 25 in hot and windy conditions on a sporting course around Guilden Morden near Royston on the Cambs/Beds border. She did 1.2.34 for 1st lady and 7th overall. Fastest was Ross Clarke (Verulum) in 56.04.

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 25th July - E14/10b

Another hot and humid evening in the continuing heat wave. Paul produced another consistent ride in 23.57 to make the most of Mark's mechanical trouble just after the start where his wheel pulled over twice. Mark ended up with a 24.06 with Andy 3rd in 24.23. Chris Burley also decided to ride fixed this week and ended up with 25.12.
Paul stretches his lead in the Twilight Trophy but it will come down to a nail biting finish.

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 18th July - E14/10b

Conditions were again hot and humid but the wind was in the wrong direction for the course and so a little bit slower than the previous week. Numbers were down and Paul made the most of Mark's absence to take back the lead in the Twilight Trophy with a 23.55. Andy was 2nd with 24.38 and Steve Freeman 3rd.

Southend Wheelers 50

Sunday 16th July E21/50

Julia Freeman did 2.5.48 for 8th place overall and 1st in her group. Fastest was Neil Chapman in 1.56.32 and the only under 2 hours.

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 11th July - E14/10b

Conditions were not quite as hot as last week and with just a gentle breeze, quite fast. Mark has obviously recovered well from the Ironman and stormed round in another new course PB of 22.53. Paul (and Graham) was recovering from La Marmotte but still recorded 24.03 and there was a close tussle for 3rd with Andy getting the better of Julia and Chris. Linda just missed out from going under 30 minutes for the first time.

Mark now stretches his lead in the in the Twilight Trophy.

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 4th July - E14/10b

Conditions were hot and humid with a gentle breeze and so quite fast. With Mark and Paul both away, it was left to Andy, Chris and Julia to battle it out for the win, with Chris edging it by 1 second from Andy, both doing their best times for the season so far. Linda continues to improve and will be looking to go 'inside' for the first time shortly.

The overall positions in the Twilight Trophy remain unaltered although the gaps have closed.

Unity CC 25

Sunday 2nd July E9/25

Julia Freeman was fatsest Lady in the Unity event with 1.3.11 however she struggled in the heat. Fastest was Tristan Davenne in 55.14.

InterClub 10 v Chelmer CC

Tuesday 27th June - E14/10b

Our annual Interclub against the Chelmer CC resulted in an individual and a team win. Conditions were good and Mark Edmonds sped round the course in 22.57 which was yet another course PB and 47 seconds quicker than Nick Green - the first Chelmer rider. Second claim member Steve Freeman (first claim Chelmer) was 3rd. Everyone else improved to their best times this year except for Paul Martin who had to stop to see to a broken spoke but was still 4th overall.

Mark now takes the lead in the Twilight Trophy, although both Mark and Paul will miss next weeks event as Mark is riding the Austrian Ironman and Paul is riding La Marmotte.

ECCA 25

Sunday 25th June - E4/25

Paul Martin did a 58.52 in this event to go inside the hour for the first time.

Maldon and District / GHS London East 10

In the Senior event, Julia Freeman was the fastest lady with a 24.21. Overall winner of the event was Jason White in 21.43.

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 20th June - E14/10b

Conditions weren't looking promising for fast times with gale force winds, however they were in the best direction for the course and certainly didn't slow Mark Edmonds down who recorded yet another course PB of 23.16 to leave him well clear of Andy Ballentyne who moved up to second place this week using 90.6" fixed. Paul may have been feeling the effects of a hilly 100 mile Sportive around the Cotswolds on Sunday, however that didn't slow down his son Jim who did the same ride and also recorded a course PB.

Mark is now just 2 points behind Paul in the Twilight Trophy.

Chelmer CC 25

Sunday 18th June - E9/25

Mark Edmonds was 3rd overall in 58.26 in the Chelmer event on the sporting E9 course behind winner Neil Chapman (MAD CC) in 56.20.
Jim Miller did his first time trial of the year and recorded 1.09.34 although this included approx 30 secs where he went wrong at one of the roundabouts.

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 13th June - E14/10b

Conditions were quite good except for the earlier torrential rain which main for wet and slippery roads. Paul overcooked it on the first turn on the second lap and came off, leaving Mark as the clear winner with a new course PB of 23.25.

Twilight Trophy.

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 6th June - E14/10b

Conditions were almost perfect which made a change from the previous two weeks - and the time reflccted it. Mark Edmonds recorded a course PB of 23.37 and in the absence of Paul Martin (who was delayed at work), closed the gap in the Twilight Trophy. Julia got the better of Andy by 6 seconds and both turned the tables on Chris who was 4th this week.

Maldon and District Open 50

Sunday 4th June May - E3/10

Julia Freeman did an excellent 2.05.02 for 4th place overall in the sporting Maldon 50 to establish a new Vets 40-50 record. Fastest was Neil Chapman (MAD CC) and the only one inside 2 hours with a 1.58.38

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 30th May - E14/10b

It was another cool and blustery evening and there were a couople of close tussles between the riders. Mark Edmonds just got the better of PTT Andy Page by one second with a Paul Martin slower than usual - having done the Wessex 3 day Cyclo Sportive over the Bank Holiday. A little way back and it was a close run thing between Chris Burley, Julia Freeman and Andy Ballentyne.

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 23rd May - E14/10b

A cool and blustery evening didn't stop Paul Martin from improving his best time so far this year and dipped under 24 mins. Julia Freeman also improved but the rest all went backwards.

CTT National 10 mile Championship

Sunday 21st May May - E3/10

Despite suffering from a bad back, former Champion Julia Freeman came 14th in the National 10 Mile Championship held at Linton near Haverhill, in a time of 24.20. The conditions were very windy and for the later starters (Julia included) - very wet. The winner, in an outstanding time for the conditions of 22.00 was Wendy Houvenhagel.

Second claim member Jim Lewis did another PB of 26.09 for second Under 14 boy.

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 16th May - E14/10b

Torrential rain early in the evening meant wet roads but that didn't stop a very close race between Mark and Paul with Mark just getting the better of Paul by 2 seconds after they both did the same time for the first lap. Jim Lewis recorded a new PB in 26.33

Maldon and District Open 25m

Sunday 14th May 2006 - E21/26

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 9th May - E14/10b

A warm evening with just a gentle breeze meant a good turn out and improvements on the previous club 10. Paul Martin got the better of Mark Edmonds who was baulked however by a car so the outcome would have been very close. Paul extends his early lead in the Twilight Trophy.

2006 E.C.C.A. Festival

Club Evening 10

Tuesday 25th April - E14/10b

The weather for the first club 10 wasn't too bad, a bit cool with not too much wind and helping the riders up the finishing straight. Paul Martin was the winner in 24.36, just over a minute clear of Julia Freeman. Paul's son Jim Lewis continues to improve with a 27.20

32nd Association "30"

Sunday 23rd April - E1/25c

Traffic lights had sprung up overnight just before Newport so the 30 had to be changed to a 25 on the E1/25c which starts and finishes just north of Newport and turns at the Four Wentways. The wind was fairly light but the roads were very wet and it was raining for most of the race which probably contributed to teh two punctures suffered by Richard Jordan. Julia Freeman was the fastest Easterley rider with a respectible 1.2.51 ahead of Dave Spencer and Andy Ellis. The winner was Roger Bryant (Shaftesbury CC) in 59-40.

East Anglian VTTA 25

32nd Association 25

Sunday 26th March E1/25b

Conditions were a lot warmer than they have been of late but the strong winds made for some very old fashioned (even prehistoric!) times. Andy Ballentyne gained a little revenge on Dave Spencer from the Club Hilly but that was little comfort when compared with the 58.02 that Paul Smith knocked out. Full results

Club Hilly 20

Sunday 5th March E17/20

A very cold morning saw a hardy group of members stretching their legs for the first club event of the year which resulted in a win for for Paul Martin just over a minute clear of Ian Morgan who was using his training bike with mudguards! Ian however also lost a minute when he was unsure of the course and turned round shortly after the start believing he had gone wrong (he can navigate us from John O'Groats to Lands End but can't get round a 10 mile loop!!!). Julia was a three minutes behind Paul and Dave Spencer a further 5 seconds back.
