This Saturday's club 25 mile Time Trial Championships saw Greg retain his title with a time of 1:02:59, an improvement of nearly 4 minutes on last years winning time. Despite being the only full HDCC member to enter, it was unlikely any other HDCC rider would have posed much of a threat....

23rd April 2009.....Mat in the points

The first Torworth NMRRL race kicked off with a good result for Harworth Race Team. Mat & Leigh set off in the middle group and with the storming pace, maintained the gap from the scratch group.

12th April 2009.....Ray Levers Race

This Sunday saw possibly the best HDCC team effort in recent times, with six quaility riders competing in the Ray Levers Memorial Road Race. The 7 lap race through Torworth was seeded into 3 groups, with all HDCC riders setting off in the middle group. Conditions on the course were tough but strong riding meant all finished in the heart of the field. John unfortunatley punctured ending his race, although we are sure he will return to the race scene this year.

Ever wondered what gear ratios you need? Standard 53:39 or Compact 50:34 or Triple?. The spreadsheet below tells you exactly what gear ratio and speed each combination gives you. For example, running a 53 front and 11 rear at a cadence of 90rpm will see you travelling at 34.0 mph!! (based on a standard 700c wheel with 23mm tyre). Just another useful tool from HDCC!

The Harworth club annual ride to Skegness was successfully completed by 11 riders on Saturday. Setting off at 6:30am and despite 4 punctures, the team took approx 4 hours to complete the 70+ miles. Following winds made the ride favourable, as did the reward of bacon sandwiches in Market Rasen and liquid refreshments at the end. Notable achievement of the ride goes to young Jack who, as a tribute to Tom Simpson, rode on a circa 1960's bike. This didn't stop him passing his father Keith on all the hills. Thanks to Andy for the organisation and thanks also to the support teams. Click on the images for the full sized photos...
