Marshtracks Rhyl handicap

Recently back from training for three weeks on the Costa Blanca I was still pining for the sea. So this weekend just passed I decided to get away from North Oxfordshire to the coast. Conveniently my father lives on the coast of North West Wales... Inconveniently that's 200 miles away! So Thursday evening I unpacked my bike after having not touched it since I'd packed it for flying home from Spain the pervious Saturday. I'd got some new bits for the bike too: it's a brand new bike anyway, but I put a new drivetrain on since I wanted it...

Abingdon Spring Crits #2

Shutt Velo Race Team sent another strong team to Abingdon as the Abingdon Race Team Winter Series continued into week 2.

June: first half report from Jered Allcock

At the start of the month I earned my second cat licence! It was one of those things that when first faced with the challenge it seemed insurmountable, then as I made progress it looked like it was within reach and then the last handful of points I won in style, coming first place at a 2/3/4 circuit race hosted by Solihull CC at Tudor Grange Park. Feeling confident in my ability having been boosted by the licence promotion, the week after I raced my first E/1/2 circuit race. Although I didn't find the average pace impossible, the attacks where...
