Redbridge Cycle Circuit
Our 2009 season was well up and running on the 4th April when for the first time the club promoted an all day event at the new Redbridge Cycle Circuit, better known as the Hog Hill Circuit.
Chris Smith was our organiser and it was agreed by all that it was a great success. After a rather cloudy start the weather turned out to be warm and sunny with a stiff breeze.
The day commenced with an LVRC event (League of veteran racing cyclists) with about forty riders competing for one hour plus 5 laps. A full lap is 2.1k with the finish at the top of the hill.
The British Cycling events started with the youth races, Fifty-seven young riders took part, the U/8, U/10, and U12 years riding the 500m course.
Then the U/14 and U/16 years
rode the full 2.1k course clockwise.
In the J/3/4 category 50k race sixty-five riders competed for the prizes and primes.
The last race of the day was the E/1/2/ cats over 60k with just 20 entries. It turned out to be a fast race with lots of breaks and attacks.
Many thanks to those that helped on the day, we were a few bodies short. Also to Derek Lusher the Chief Commissaire and to Jill Milliner and Pete Wilson for their expert duties on the finishing line. Also to Frank Rasey who has to balance the finances together with the levies when there are entries on the line.
A big thank you to Chris Smith who had every thing under control. ED

Whitewebbs CC 95k Road Race
Whitwell - Codicote Circuit
Sunday 17th May
The weather forecast wasn't too encouraging but 57 brave riders started in the dry but on lap one it rained, by lap 3 there was torrential wind and rain soaking both riders and marshals, by lap 6 the rain had eased. There were so many punctures it was hard to keep account of them, which included our own two riders Ben Brown and Dave Paton. Twenty out of the fifty-seven riders finished looking more like coal miners coming off a shift in their wet muddy splattered lycra. 1st Damien Foy Eagle RC 2.27.00. 2nd Tom Stephenson Ipswich BC 3rd Mark porter Glade CC. 4th Glenn Vinni- combe Cambridge CC. s time @8secs D Baker, Steve Hubbard, Matt Nockolds, Peirs Brown, Dermont Kealey, Campbell Noon, Andy Wylde, Basil Moss, Richard Gostick Jamie Anderson, Luke Smulders, Jonathan Appleby, Richard Parrotte, James Cocker, Mark Wakeling, Richard Anderson.
