ANOTHER NEW CLUB RECORD FOR NIK!!!
Race report from Nik:
Lovely day again, blazing sun in the sky and ESE light breeze was forecast. Learning from last week, pacing was thought about and plans put in place. Heading out, breeze had swung round and was now slightly against. Easing back was the plan to save some energy for the middle 5 and smash it home.
Going well at turn (25 secs slower than last week) I pushed harder to Ham Barn roundabout and rode hill as hard as possible. Legs still felt good, with a brief shift down to regain a little breath and energy. Last two miles were flatter and fast with wind assist. ‘Top gear with everything thing i had left’ was plan and it worked well. As flag appeared in the distance, i gave it all and flew across the line.
Looking down at the Garmin to see 19:46 and new PB. 6 weeks in the making and great to benefit from all the hard work.

Race report from Nik:
1st of two consecutive weeks on P881R saw a NE breeze on course with lovely sunshine. Late afternoon start was busy with traffic and Ham roundabout became a lottery for riders. Heading out strong on downhill first half became an issue as pushing too hard was costly on return leg and time ebbed away even with strong final mile.
20:06 was fastest time of season but not what 6 week plan was aiming for.

Race report from Cheesy:
Monday 26th August saw the SCA 25 mile Sporting TT where Cheesy and Nik were the only two WECC riders entered. On what appears to have been one of the hottest days this year it was going to be a tough one. Nik, partly due to working night shifts but I suspect knowing that he had already wrapped up the 2019 WECC SPOCO competition decided not to race. Cheesy raced and set a time of 1.03.23 and was pleased on this course with two ascents of the short but biting climb at the top of the course. Nik's lack of attendance meant that Cheesy scored a full 20 SPOCO points putting him in 2nd place one point behind Nik and one point ahead of John McGrath.
The event was won by Simon McNamara with an amazing time of 53.35 with Howard Bayley second with a time of 56.09 and Matt Smith completing the podium with a 56.29.

Race report from Cheesy:
Sunday 25th August was the setting of the SDV 25 mile TT and as it incorporated the District Championships there was expected to be a number of class and fast riders. Up to the night before WECC had four riders entered for the event, being John McGrath, Karen McGrath, Spencer Kirkham and Cheesy.
On the morning Spencer was a DNS(A) citing being "too lardy" having been on holiday in Wales and sampling lots of the local cuisine! The weather was good, albeit the ESE breeze was stiffer than expected making the return from Chichester to Arundel quite sapping but as some of the road has recently been resurfaced good times were expected. Both John and Karen were delighted to set new course and distance PB's by well over three minutes and Karen has set a new women's 25 mile club record. Cheesy was about 40 seconds short of his course PB but relatively pleased to do a sub hour 25.
The event was won by Sam Wadsley with a time of 51.48. Sadly the event was tainted by the news that Nick Dwyer appears to have been knocked off his bike by a motorist but thankfully he has sustained cuts, bruises and concussion and we hope that he makes a speedy recovery.

Karen's time of 1:03:24 beats her previous best of 1:06:43, set last year, by over 3 minutes for yet another new ladies club record.

Race report from Cheesy:
Today only two WECC were entered in the SCA Sporting 10 (incorporating WECC SPOCO points qualifying race), being Nik Allen and Cheesy. The weather conditions were all but perfect with almost no breeze and warm temperatures. Sadly the impact of the road surface for much of the route would nullify most of any advantage. Both riders were debutantes at this event so provided they both finished it would be a course PB for both!!
Nik took club honours (unsurprisingly) with a 23.16 placing him 8th overall and Cheesy was pleased to be within 2 minutes of Nik posting a 25.10. The event was won by James Boyman with a 20.51, followed by Simon McNamara with a 21.29 and the podium rounded off by Kevin Tye with a time of 22.06.
Nik and Cheesy are also entered in the 25 mile edition of this event on Monday so are looking forward to 2.5 laps of the same!!

Race report from Cheesy:
Sunday 18th August saw the running of the BEC CC 25 Mile open time trial on the G25/93 grippy course. A low number of entrants (28) was reduced further overnight by 8 riders being DNS, probably due to the heavy rain in the early hours and wet conditions. That said, Cheesy, Trevor Leeding and Ian Newbold took to the start line in reasonable conditions apart from the afore-mentioned wet roads and some surface water.
Cheesy took club honours with a 1.00.43, followed by Trevor with a 1.02.41 and Ian rounding out the WECC trio with a 1.08.51. Trevor continues to be out of sorts and has decided to call time on the 2019 season and Ian learnt a valuable lesson having picked up a glute injury due to adjusting his bike position the night before a race but took some consolation in receiving a £10 lucky dip prize! Cheesy was relatively pleased with his ride and had his best power for some time.
The event was deservedly won by the very popular Kevin Plummer with a 56.03, albeit a minute off his course PB.

Race report from Colin:
Any hopes of super fast times were dashed yet again this year by blustery weather conditions on the H25/8 course near Farnham
A stiff head wind on the westbound leg of the course was enough to turn off a number of the 65 entrants, there being 16 DNS’s and a further 5 DNF’s
Still, all 3 of our WECC entrants braved the wind and all finished safely with Nolan Heather leading the way with 58:41, backed up by Colin Toppin with 1:00:57 and Colin Barton with 1:01:37
The event was won by Gareth Williams from Twickenham CC with a very credible 53:25.

Nik took third place overall in the SCA Championship and first place in his age group. Karen took the SCA ladies title. The aggregate times of Nik, John and Huw won them the SCA mens team title.
As the fastest WECC rider Nik wins the 2019 WECC 30 Championship. His time beats the WECC course record that he already held.
Mike (as it turned out just a couple of hours after finishing) was struggling with an illness and that has ended his season.

Race report from Colin:
After the previous days strong winds, today was much improved with just a gentle westerly on the Fontwell/Chichester A27 course
A small field of 49 riders was reduced further by 9 DNS’s. We had only 2 WECC riders in Trevor & Colin...with our ally Martin Booker (Southdown Bikes) too
Trev felt the best in a 50 for a while and recorded 2-2-14 as first man off, Colin set 2-1-58, with Martin a on 2-5-22
Chris McNamara produced another storming first place ride to set a new course record with 1-42-12....how does he do it ?

Race report from Cheesy:
Today saw the BECC 25 mile TT event on the lumpy G25/93 course. Conditions were good with the temperature being like Goldilocks porridge (not too hot and not too cold!) and winds were light albeit the usual lottery with the Wiston steam fayre and a car boot sale which could affect rides. WECC had six entrants with our second claim cousin, Martin Booker (1:00:42) also entering and sporting a foot injury which has prevented recent competition or any meaningful training of late. All riders were fairly pleased with their ride, especially Trevor who has also been suffering from severe toothache and wasn't sure if he would ride at all. Unusually, there were a pair of time twins in Simon and Nolan as well as Cheesy and Colin! Spencer, Nolan and Simon recorded course PB's but all were disappointed with the meagre cake selection at HQ afterwards!

Due to weather and it being the longer distance part of the season Nolan is the first WECC rider to compete in an Open 10 since late May. He produced a very good time and final placing; this despite the frustration of having a car turn in front of him and causing him to stop at the cement works (on the fast part of the course).

After last season’s disaster in this event Ian Cheesman was delighted to remain upright. Even more so as he was the fastest WECC rider and took the club’s 50 title for the first time.
The aggregate time for our three riders gained them second placed team in the SCA event and the legendary Robin’s wine as a prize.
Mike's third place in the SCA Vets category (on CTT target time) was sufficient for him to regain the SCA Vets Middle Distance BAR title (10, 25, 50 miles) that he held in 2014/5/6/7.

For the first Wednesday in a while rain did not cause the cancellation of the event. It wasn't all good news though as a savage gusting NE wind made things 'interesting' and leg from the bottom turn to the top one was a real grind.
Nik produced another quality and Mike fell just 6 seconds short of his PB (although he did have the consolation of beating his previous VTTA age plus (which was + 6:52).

A NEW CLUB RECORD!!!
Trevor, Cheesy and Spencer's combined time of 5:49:20 beats the 1992 mark of 5:53:32 (set by Paul Toppin / Richard Shipton / Jeremy Wootton).
Trevor set a new LTS (his PB of 1:55:27 was in 2015). Cheesy and Colin both got PBs, albeit Cheesy had ridden considerably faster in this event last season only to have it nullified due to the course being short. Well done to Spencer on his first ever 50.

The event was clearly misnamed as the interminable bad weather continues and this event was called off. Mike O'Gorman was particularly disappointed to miss a chance at his favourite 25 course. Four of his last scheduled five TTs have now been cancelled due to the prevailing conditions.
