1999 Results March - May

May 1999 May Round-Up Chris Lord has thrown down the gauntlet to Shane Faulkner and Dave Pollard (The establishment) for the position of the fastest short distance time trialist in the club. He has a 22m13s Ten in Sussex (Brighton Excel Club 10 on the 20th May) and on Thursday the 1st of June he recorded 55m00s in a Brighton Mitre evening 25, finishing fastest ahead of Steve Woodbridge. Chris still feels that there is more to come. Like Shane, Chris does not like longer distances, they will both have to bite the bullet and ride a decent 50 if they want to stop Dave from winning the Club short distance BAR. With Pete Roberts sidelined with an injury and Alan Curtis focusing on Road Racing it should be a good scrap between Chris, Shane and Dave over the rest of the season. May the best man win! Norwood Paragon CC 50 miles on the 30th May A good ride by Dave Pollard in not easy conditions. Chris Martin overslept (first time ever. Honestly!) and missed the event. Name Dave Pollard Paul Hunt Horry Hemsley Time 1h58m24s 2h14m46s 2h30m28s Fastest Rider: R Payn in 1h56m29s Border CA 10 miles on the 29th May Chris Lord beat Shane Faulkner by 24 seconds.

Surrey/Sussex Open 25 Miles on the 23rd May A stiff southwesterly wind greeted the riders on a cool and overcast morning. Shane Faulkner was our fastest rider, starting at no. 100 out of a full field of 120. Chris Lord lost time with several minor mechanical problems, including having to stop after about ten yards to adjust his rear wheel! Horry reported going off course! (how many times have you ridden this course Horry?). Peter Baker starting at No. 2 on a very smart new 'Giant' time trial bike had completed his ride and gone home before most of the other Wanderers arrived. Name Shane Faulkner Chris Lord Chris Martin Peter Baker Graham Jeffs Horry Hemsley Doug Roberts Ian Landless Time 57m08s 59m37s 1h01m32s 1h02m57s 1h03m15s 1h08m45s DNS DNS Vets Std N/A +9m25s +4m38s +3m33s +7m52s +10m10s Fastest Rider: P Woodman in 53m34s 16th May Round-Up Another good result for Shane Faulkner when he finished second in the Worthing Excelsior 25. Only Michael Hutchinson, who finished second in last weeks National Ten was faster than Shane. Chris Martin and Peter Price completed the very hard Redmon Hilly over a bruising 74.5 miles. At the same time as the above time trials, various club members were involved in the 111 miles plus Red Ride. The mass participation event was run over the same course as the pro riders will use on stage two of the Prutour on 24th May. Ian Landless reported on having an enjoyable day spending over six hours on the bike. On route he met up with Phill King and Richard Meed who both completed the event. Each of the 1162 riders were given a red Prutour top which made for some difficulty in recognising the riders. Other riders from our club included Paul Cooper & Steve Chittenden. Helping with marshalling the event and manning the feed station at Maresfield were: Tony Gale; Brian Leaney; Mick & Sylvia Burgess; Michael & Megan Rabbetts; Geoff Baker; Peter Gates & Stuart Maddock. Times: John Mankelow 5h53m; Ian Landless 6h25m; Nigel Siberry 6h45m; Richard Meed 6h51m & Phill King 6h51m. Red Ride Map (Rochester to Portsmouth) Continued.......

Shane seems to be finding some good form after not being at his best in his early season events. Paul Hunt beat Chris Martin for the runners up position by 8 seconds. Fourteen year old Stuart Maddock won the handicap award on this his first time trial. Ian Landless turned over Ron Rogers to win the vets standard award. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 =8 =8 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Name Shane Faulkner Paul Hunt Chris Martin Steve Burgess Graham Jeffs Ian Landless Hugh Proctor Chris Hough Mark Burgess John Mankelow Ron Rogers Phil King Stuart Maddock Dave Beale Horry Hemsley Laurie Leaney Mick Burgess Time 44m58s 47m57s 48m05s 49m37s 50m06s 51m29s 53m07s 53m30s 53m30s 53m32s 54m39s 54m40s 54m47s 55m01s 56m12s 57m01s 1h01m30s H'cp 4th 12th 11th 7th 6th 8th 13th 2nd 10th 5th 9th 15th 1st 3rd 14th 16th 17th Vts Std N/A +17s -34s -39s +1m06s +3m16s -3m25s -5m37s N/A -2m20s +3m00s -3m28s N/A -2m40s +37s -3m05s -4m41s Chris Lord was the only DNS.

Chasing a hat trick of victories the Wanderers were knocked into second place by the GS Stella team. The fastest four riders out of a team of six count for the competition, we lost out by 2m07s. Dave Pollard finished second overall and Shane Faulkner was fourth, Dave said that today was the best he had felt this year, Shane is still a little way off his best. Chris Lord put in a good ride as our third counter. Chris Martin was disappointed with his effort as he blew on the return, which was hard work for all the riders. Paul Hunt had problems with his bars working loose. Bob Luck was the sixth member of our A Team and Horry was our only other entry. Again the best Lewes team available was not on show. As consolation there is a cup and S.C.A. medals for the second finishing A Team.

April 1999 Shaftesbury CC 25 miles on the 25th April Dave Pollard was not pleased with his form (I think most people would be pleased with a 55) after he was invited to ride the above event Name Dave Pollard Time 55m39s Fastest Rider: Peter Smith in 51m07s ESCA 10 & 25 Chris Martin finished 9th in Saturdays ESCA Ten and equaled his PB on the Sunday 25 (45 seconds faster than his previous best on the A22 course). The riders were greeted by pleasant conditions, with a breeze that made for some hard work on each event. Eastbourne Rovers dominated the results board, they had 19 riders in the Ten and 22 riders in the 25. This weekend saw easily the smallest and weakest entry by The Wanderers since the editor joined the club, why? Answers on a postcard please!

Dave not completely happy with his early season form was 35 seconds slower than his course record of last year. Chris Martin was third beating his PB from last year by 37 seconds and ending his run of three previous fourth places on the event. Phill King returned to the time trial scene after some serious miles, (including giving it some whilst out with the editor) he ended up as comfortable winner on handicap. Ron Rogers also making his first appearance for a while scooped the vets standard award. One rider (who to save his blushes I won't name) managed to DNF by going off course!

Newhaven - Beddingham report continued.... Paul Deane; Graham Jeffs; Chris Hill were the DNS boys & Dave Beale was a DNF. There where five entries on the line (details below), Mark Winton on his road bike (no tri bars) turned up after the disappointment of puncturing on the first lap of yesterdays Lewes Wanderers promoted Surrey League Road Race around Ashdown Forrest (having followed the riders up Chuck Hatch five times in the comfort of my car, I think a puncture seems like a good idea!). Mark who sprinted away to win a Surrey League Road Race by thirteen seconds at Crowhurst over Easter, completed the course today in an excellent 24m32s (fast enough for third place if he had entered in advance!).
