Lorenzo said it really lifted him. Our event started pretty quick and split on the second climb with Joe & myself in a small group of 6 to 8 riders and I was pretty near the limit. Changed off the big ring and unshipped the chain!, bang straight out the back with  the bunch coming  past moments later as I struggled to sort the gears. I was 50 yds off when I did and never managed to close that gap as the road just goes up and down, mostly up between the Clee Hills. I decided the race was not going to beat me and settled down to a long uncomfortable grind in the humid sunshine watching many riders coming back the other way after they had been shelled out from both events. Saw Joe briefly at the end and he said the race regrouped before splitting again on Angel Bank. I believe a lead group established itself from which D Cummings broke clear near the end for a solo win. They had Joe down in 14th place, I was 27th but apparently not last as I caught and passed 2 riders a few miles from the finish. Don't know where the guys in the A/B race finished but I think Lorenzo was well placed. Brian Austin had been up the road in a break but came back to Lorenzo's group after Clee, no idea how Ian Connolly got on. The roads were really hard, very rough and wearing, the profile of course you know about. The 6 climbs coming back from Cleobury received some harsh language! Fair play Dave, it was so hot and  the circuit only went one way – UP. We had to tackle a 1 in 5 to get there ( I walked)  Greatest of respect for our guys tackling this one. I’m pretty sure WF had 100% finishers    How did the rest of you get on ?   Smithy   http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3369 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 WFCRC administrator Reminder The WFCRC 10mile championships will be next week 08/07/09 at the Ikon trading estate 7.30pm   http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3372 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 WFCRC administrator  Incorporating the GHS District Champs, WF are represented by James Plant and Alex Hamer in a 17-strong field.   In the Open event we have Jon Howard, Norbert Wysocki and Mick Gray  among the 54 entrants with Stuart Dangerfield fastest on paper. http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3362 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 WFCRC administrator Mike Haddon heads up to North Shropshire on Wed 24th to ride the SCCA open 30 It’s been 6 wks away from competition for Mike and he is hoping to beat his standard time of 1:22   http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3363 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 WFCRC administrator We need at least another 1 marshall  2 would be ideal Only have Jon Howard so far Hopefully we can work something out on the night   I think everyone will have to do 3 turns instead of 2 but I will let you know. http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3364 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 WFCRC administrator Steve Plant has added a Classified Ad http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3365 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 WFCRC administrator John Callaghan has added a Classified Ad http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3358 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 WFCRC administrator Dave Wood is on holiday and rode the CC Weymouth '25' on Sunday.  In a 17-rider field (for an Open event!!) Dave finished 5th with 1-3-16.   Still a good ride and ice cream after, perfect http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3359 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 WFCRC administrator Please find Mick Grays TT reports   Just caught up with the result of the VTTA Midland '25'.  Our lone entry Stuart McKie recorded 1-5-13 and the event was won by Roger Iddles with 53-32.   In the Cwmcarn Paragon '25' I did 1-9-15 on a windy day.  There were a lot of moans and groans at the HQ with various comments on the severity of the day.  To give you some idea of the wind, on the big descent from the start I topped at 38mph when normally 40+ is easily attainable.   I didn't hang about at the finish so I don't know the result.   Cheers - Mick What ! So difficult to get good staff nowadays ( Thanks Mick, much obliged ) Smithy   http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3360 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 WFCRC administrator There’s an LVRC event coming up very soon. I predict there will be plenty of bikes on Ebay afterwards. Anyone know what it is and the circuit?    I was lucky / sorry unlucky to have my entry back as I was late with the post. I’m gutted, no really I am.   Who would be bonkers enough to even enter, well I’ll tell you. Ian / Pat Connolly - well there’s 2 for a start. Dave Prior – Certified long ago and obviously let out for what could be his last ride. (he’ll never survive ) Any one else – come on own up or spill the beans. Its only one lap http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3361 Tue, 23 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 WFCRC administrator I'm Shattered Dont get me started on the land lady More to follow   http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3356 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100 WFCRC administrator James Plant rode the Sundorne a circuit race at Shrewsbury on Saturday 20th. 10 u14,s took to the start of a 30min race. It was a fast start to the race which saw the field split after about 3 laps. 4 riders were in the leading group and James was in the second group of 4 riders, everyone worked well together all doing their share of the work. On the final lap James out sprinted the others in true Cavendish style to finish in 5th place overall.   “ Nice one “ James   http://wfcrc.org.uk/index.php?nid=3357 Mon, 22 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0100
