As usual the dog days of summer take their toll on the local racing calender. Jay Eastwood brought the curtain down on the Moreton Road Race Series,
open time trials are few and far between and club events will come to an end in a couple of weeks. James Gilfilan (Team Feat)gave the Alp D'uez Triathlon a miss, perhaps his efforts in the RAAM finally caught up with him. Perhaps not, Gilfillan finished in an excellent 4th place in round 5 of the Rudy Project TT series in Worcester.
The final round of this national series will be promoted by the Poole Wheelers. The undulating, 16 mile course through Wareham Forest and around Bere Regis was tested by Bournemouth Jubilee in their 32 mile event back in June. Claire Day (Born to Bike)looks set for her best ever placing in the British Best All Rounder Competition, (BBAR). Day is currently lying in third place in the table, Riders best times over 25,50 & 100 miles are combined to give an average speed. With times of 58.24, 1.58.39 & 4.11.45 giving an average of 24.934, Claire is in with a great chance of a medal and with her team mates handily placed the team award looks secure. Adam Topham (High Wycombe CC) easily won the Poole Wheelers club 10 on Sunday on the Ski Slope course.
His 30mph plus ride of 19.46 giving him a winning margin of 1.04 over Paul Jones (BJW) August is a lean month but September will arrive with more races, settled weather
and for those who like it when the road goes up, Hill Climbs.
Bournemouth Cycling Centre's Alan McRae says “Starting from scratch, in just 4 weeks, nearly 500 individual track cycling opportunities have been provided" What Alan really means is things are going well at the new track!!
