First up on the track was Adi in the 40 -44 Points race. Up against very experienced riders from top teams adiheld in the action until the race was ripped apart by eventual race winner Paul Wain ( Team Endura ) gaining a lap on the field. With the race coming back together adi was in position to score a point to put him on the scoreboard and finish 8th in a very hotly contested race. Next up was James Carpenter in the 45-49 age group. Although not scoring any points James managed to stay in the group in a race that was quite quick. Steve Newman also raced the points as did our Team Captain Barry; both raced well although they did not score points.

Only 2 WSW in the Hill Climb!Tuesday, 20 October 2009 15:04 |
 Polly and I arrived as No 5 was on the line. I accepted Geoff Byne's invitation to sign myself in (barked between "thirty seconds" and "Fifteen seconds") at No 8. Removed toolkit and bottle. Turned back wheel around for the smaller, 66", gear at the same time as Polly pinned number 8 on my back (she later referred to at as my 'label'. That would be the one that read "loser", I supposed). My fellow Wheeler in the fight against 6 hardened anti-gravity men from CC Sudbury and Haverhill CC was redoubtable Rob Norman, who looked as if he'd made a diversion from going to collect the Sunday papers dressed, as he was, in floppy Sunday morning civvies.No time for nerves, I addressed the line with fifteen to go, and was out of the saddle pushing down the legs and heaving on the bars (my positive visualising produced an image of Sir Chris Hoy . . the reality was more Father Christmas). The Cappuccino Ride, with perfect timing, arrived just too late to take part - but they were immensly encouraging, and quite made Rob and I feel like heroes. Heroes of the old sort, plucky losers, "it's taking part don'tcha know".
I was the penultimate on time for the two climbs; Rob was whatever follows that. Somehow or other, we managed 89 points to CC Sudbury's 144 and Haverhill's 141 - just think what would have happened with a proper turn out? Tried to persuade Polly to ride for a Lady's prize - but she remembered climb No. 2 from the Bury Bike ride, and was having none of it. We (Polly and I) went to Coffee and Co where we met the Cappas again. Polly took the Team Support vehicle route home, and I rode - giving me a total of 50 miles. So I didn't really lose out on the miles, and got to hurt myself into the bargain Last Updated (Tuesday, 27 October 2009 17:36) WSW Members in action.....Monday, 19 October 2009 16:14 | Written by Paul Callow |
The WSW Cross riders were out competing again last weekend at Stanborough Park, near the Gosling Velodrome, in Welwyn Garden City.
The following day Alan rode the second round of the National Series in Derby in very slippery conditions and in a very competitive field. He crashed twice on the last lap, but managed 31st out of 52 starters. He contested this event in readiness for the Third Round of the National Series which is at Ipswich on October 25 and the forthcoming Inter-Regional event.

Last night (Thursday) was the first of the 6 week Warehouse Wheelers sessions at the Moreton Hall Youth Club. 12 members including a Gladiator enjoyed 45 minutes of music and encouragement supplied Barry including the odd riding style request. This included the Sean Yates (down on the hoods with bent arms or something similar)! 
The Collard Shield was won by Tricia Dennison. The points for this competition are based on riders performance relative to their course and personal bests.
