Roller Racing 2016 Results

John Brooks Triumphs in a tight final

A somewhat disappointing turn out for the annual Rose Bowl trophy didn't prevent a night of exciting racing. The highlight was an incredibly tight final that saw John Brooks win by the tightest of margins. Video is on YouTube here.

There were two Juniors competing, Oscar Woodward and Kali Sharman, who both rode very well and challenged in the minor finals with Oscar taking fourth spot overall. His time was the second fastest of the evening - perhaps a future roller racing star for next year?

The first of our four-week series took place on Friday evening November 2 and despite competition from several fireworks events, we had 11 members taking part. For those that don’t know we use four Watt Bikes loaned to us by Cycle Suffolk, which in addition to giving the riders lots of electronic feedback in respect of speed, power, cadence and much more, they are also linked to a computer display, so that we can race them, in the clubroom!

Watt Bike Racing

2011-12-05T11:42:53Z

Last winter we ran a series of Watt Bike events at the club room and we have been offered this chance again by Cycle Suffolk.

FRIDAYS JAN 6, 13, 20 and 27 Doors Open 7, Action starts 7.30

There will be the chance to have a go on these super training machines, and to try your best to beat other riders over short and longer distances and competitions.

Participation fee per evening will be £2 for adult members, £3 for adult guests and Under 18’s Free. Some prizes will be presented at the end of the series.

It is hoped that an inter-club event will be held before the winter is over, depending on support for our events and others in Suffolk.

Volunteers to help run the events would be welcome and we need lots of keen riders.

Turbo Training Sessions at the Clubroom

2011-11-07T14:43:51Z

Now that the winter has officially arrived we have started our Turbo Training Sessions at the clubroom.

As most of us know, turbo sessions can be very helpful in maintaining and even improving fitness. A good 40 minute session can be the equivalent of a two hour session on the road, but without the cold, the darkness and the danger of riding at night. But turbo sessions can be very boring if done on your own ~ but in a group it’s much better, with music to help, instruction and encouragement , sociable and with the added advantage that you can go as hard (or easy) as you like ~ no one gets dropped ! And the discipline of one or two sessions a week make it easier to keep up a regular regime.

You need to bring your own bike and turbo (or rollers), although we do have a few turbos to borrow for the evening if you get there early.

WEDNESDAYS at 7.00

THURSDAYS at 6.15 and 7.15
