Dumfries Cycling Club 26th May - Collin

23 riders turned out for our 5th 10 mile time trial of the season. It was a good night at Collin but the road was in a poor state.

John Moir, still struggling to better his best time was first at 23:09. John Paterson, closing the gap, was second at 23:20 and Mike Thompson 3rd at 24:32.

Other results were:

Alison McConnachie 31:01, Adrian Garrett 29:34, Dave Thompson 28:14, Alastair Johnston 27:33, Alex Ure 26:37, Ron Love 28:34 PB, Dave Niblock 27:35, John Andrew 28:46 PB, Dave Moss 29:14, Colin Little 27:12, Robert McCallay 26:05 PB, Jim McConnachie 27:21, Alan Crieghton 26:03, Colin McCann 25:08, Dave Barnes 24:55, Dave Martin 27:14, Neil Henderson 26:53, Paul Crosbie 25:34, Donald McCalley 28:27.

John Moir was seemingly followed by a car – either someone was checking his speed or trying to get some tips. (wonder who that was). Even the very slight uphill start couldn’t stop 3 PB’s and a near back to form time for the race secretary (Niblock where’s my pound?)

Dumfries Cycling Club 19th May - Park Farm

We were back at Park Farm for the 3rd race of the Club 18-25 competition. It was the second 18 mile time trial of the season.

John Moir still continues to dominate. 1st with a time of 43:16 but like everyone else he was down on his personnel best. 2nd with a time of 44:34 was John Paterson. 3rd was Mike Thompson 47:04.

Other results were:
Dave Thompson 57:52, Donald McCalley 53:00, Alex Ure 51:39, Colin Little 52:55, Neil Henderson 52:09, Dave Martin 52:10, Matt Wallace 50:10, Neil Pearson 48:18, Dave Barnes 49:07 and P. Crosbie 50:14.

Dumfries Cycling Club 12th May - Dalbeattie

There was a record turnout for our 10 mile time trial at Dalbeattie with 24 riders. It was the fourth in a series of ten – 10 mile time trials where the best 7 results from a possible 10 count.

Fastest on the night was John Moir at 23:27. John Patterson was second at 23:55 and Mike Thompson 3rd at 24:49.

John Patterson continues to lead the 10 mile TT League but watch out for Paul Crosbie (2 x 10 points in a row and kitted up with a new TT bike) he’s worth watching.

Dumfries Cycling Club 28th April - Beattock

A windy night had only 12 of us turn out for our first 25 mile time trial of our 2010season. John Moir continues to show us how it’s done. He came in 1st with a time of 60:11 but was way done on his best time of 58 minutes. 2nd was DCC new comer, Brian Young with a time of 63:35 and 3rd for the second week running was Mike Thompson, producing another PB with a time of 64:46.
Other results were:
Alex Ure 72:10, C.McCann 66:01, Graham Kerr 75:00, Alastair Johnston 72:13, Paul Crosbie 67:51, and Dave Barnes 65:15 PB.
PS. According to my records there were 2 PBs ( PB denote personnel best at this distance) and 2 entrants who had never done a 25 in the last 3 years with DCC.
The table shows this race against what I believe is previous best – please report any errors back to me.
I finally managed to solve the 18 mile formula. The league table for the Club 18-25 is now available. Many thanks on behalf of Graeme and I. To all those who didn’t turn up or had to pack in. We now have a place in a DCC league.

Dumfries Cycling Club 24th April - Park Farm

It was a change of venue (Park Farm) and the change of competition (Club 18-25) for the first 18 mile time trial of the season.

John Moir was again 1st with a time of 42:30 PB and with a time of 43:55 John Patterson PB was 2nd . 3rd was Mike Thompson 46:27 PB.

Other results were:

Alex Ure 53:09, Dave Thompson 55:08, John Andrew 55:42, Graham Kerr 54:42, C.McCann 48:51, Colin Little 52:09, Alastair Johnston 52:14 PB, Dave Niblock 52:02, Neil Henderson 51:00, Alan Crieghton 48:30 PB, Neil Pearson 48:18 and Dave Barnes 47:56.



PS. According to my records there were 5 PBs (PB denote personal best at this distance) and 3 entrants who had never done an 18 in the last 3 years with DCC.

The table shows this race against what I believe is previous best – please report any errors back to me.

The points system will be done as soon as I can make up a suitable method. I’ve been given some ideas but have rejected the one that says “If your name starts with D. and ends with an M and you have a beard you automatically get 10 points”

Dumfries Cycling Club 7th April

A return to Lockerbie was the venue for our second in the series of 10 mile time trials.
It was a full house at one stage (25 riders) but in the end Gogs changed his mind, gave his bike to Dave and had a fag. That resulted in 24 riders and a fine suntan for Gogs.
That came down to 23 riders who finished due to Allan Thomson, on his debut puncturing with just a few miles to go.
With John Moir on holiday it was an opportunity for someone else to finish first and with a time of 23:31, John Patterson claimed that first spot. 2nd was Chris Prichard with a PB and a time of 24:08. Brian Young on his first DCC TT was 3rd with a time of 24:19.

Other results were:
Loughlin Young 31:19, John Andrew 29:21, Dave Thompson 27:44, Adrian Garrett 28:07, Paul Crosbie 27:06, Alastair Johnston 27:07, Donald McCalley 27:50, Neil Pearson 25:48, Dave Barnes 25:22, Graham Kerr 27:26, Jim McConnachie 26:08, Alan Crieghton 25:26, Neil Henderson 27:10, Guy Graham 25:15 PB, Rob McCallay 27:03 PB, Wullie McCubbin 26:14, Rob Carey 25:11, Terry Kowalski 25:27, Mike Thompson 24:35 and Colin Little 28:02.

PS. Congratulations to the 3 riders that recorded PBs (PB denote personnel best at this distance) but how can riders be faster last week than in the glorious sunshine this week – not my place to name and shame – so check your-self! (I’ve highlighted in blue to help)
After 2 events the League looks like this but that may change when some of the new comers time start counting at the next race.
