Wrekinsport CC 2-Up 10

Members First
There were shades of the old Freiheit classic "Keeping The Dream Alive" about the performance put in by reigning champions Ed Middleton and Scott 'Bomber' Harris as they did just that in round 7 of the Coaching Revolutions 2-Up Series. Needing the maximum 20 points only a win would bring to set up a down-to-the-wire head-to-head battle royale to decide the destinations of the Gold and Silver medals with Series leaders Bryn Davies and Pete Thomas in the...

Oswestry Paragon CC 10

Members First
Just one second separated the winner from the runner-up in the Oswestry Paragon 10 at Arddleen - in an event that nearly didn't take place. Round 14 of the Friction Hydraulics Series looked in doubt as a wind turbine convoy made slow progress up the A483-based course, but thankfully cleared just in time to allow competition to start with a half hour delay. Taking that narrow victory was Rhino Velo rider Matt Davies, stopping the watch on a windy evening in...

Mid Shropshire Wheelers 30

Members First
The course record was smashed in Round 13 of the SB Sports Injuries Series as Josh Williams showed a two month lay-off hadn't dulled his speed. Williams knocked a massive 2 minutes 8 seconds off Andy Bason's 2010 benchmark, charging around two laps of the rolling Westbury - Bicton Heath - Halfway House circuit in the Mid Shropshire Wheelers' 30 in a fabulous time of 1:04:39, coping well with the tough climb of Windmill Hill twice. SCCA Private Member Wi...

Ludlow CC 10

Members First
The Series leaders were in for a big shock in round 6 of the Coaching Revolutions 2-Up Series as glorious conditions brought out a huge - and strong - turnout for the Ludlow CC 10. Thirty teams of two were in competition on a red hot evening, a Series record that sent organisers scrambling for race numbers to cope with demand on the popular Brimfield - Ludlow by-pass course. Won overall by the Wyre Forest CRC pairing of Steve Vanes and Jon Howard in a f

Brian Mear (Bricks) Shropshire Championship 100

Members First
With the mercury and the roads rising a tough morning was guaranteed to competitors in the longest event on the SCCA calendar - with some stoic performances resulting. The carnival atmosphere was in full swing for The Brian Mear (Bricks) Shropshire Championship 100 despite an enforced course change due to road works which meant 2,820 feet of climbing was in prospect to anyone with designs on County medals. Taking Gold in a superb 3 hours 47 minutes ...

Wrekinsport CC Gordon Davies 18

Members First
Craig Ball took a narrow win by just six seconds in Round 12 of the SB Sports Injuries Series - and surprised himself by moving up to third place in the overall standings as a result. The Wrekinsport CC Gordon Davies 18 was held on the simple out and back course of Eyton - Hodnet, with SCCA Private Member Ball helping himself to that win in 41 minutes 46 seconds, just seeing off the previous evening's Round 11 winner Tim Beardmore. Ball stated: "I was slig

Nova Raiders 10

Members First
Tim Beardmore took a maiden win and elevated himself twenty points closer to the lead of the SB Sports Injuries Series in Round 11, the Nova Raiders 10. With the club's normal Newport - Hortonwood course being out of commission due to road works the Waters Upton - Hodnet course was used as back up - though with disappointing conditions affecting times. Beardmore stopped the watch on 23 minutes 3 seconds to push out the promoting clubs' Scott Harris by ...

Ludlow CC 10 No.2

Members First
There was a sense of something special in the air for those arriving at HQ for the Ludlow CC 10 - and it didn't disappoint. With a stiff southerly breeze unfurling flags out almost straight a fast day was undoubtedly on the cards - with Matt Davies beating his own course record set earlier in the year by 11 seconds, leading home the third of the field who set personal bests on a top day. Davies hurtled around the Brimfield - Ludlow course in Round 12 of th...

North Shropshire Wheelers 25

Members First
The destination of seven medals was decided in the 17th and penultimate round of the Friction Hydraulics Series - with Victor Chetta taking a great win to capture overall Series Silver. Chetta recovered superbly from taking top spot a week earlier in the West Cheshire TTCA 12 hour, with 248 miles in his legs to overcome for the North Shropshire Wheelers 25 at the opposite end of the distance scale and thus requiring a different type of effort. But Chetta s...
