Hull Thursday Road Club

Entry for this year’s Big G and Mini G Cyclosportives opened on the morning of 8th March 2014 and still has places left.

Never went off road for the first 5 years with its first owner. Bought for Mandy but only taken off road occasionally and usually by me. Barely used in the last three years since I stopped MTBing. Needs someone who will ride it!

I have now transferred all the time trial series results to my database and produced the overall points table as it stands after four events.

The Newbald road race circuit, used by Neil Prendergast for this year’s Keith Carter Memorial Road Road, is one of the most challenging courses in the area.

They say practice makes perfect, so the Hull Thursday Racing Team are organising midweek training rides to enhance our performances for the racing season.

The fourth event in the Hull Thursday club time trial service was held on Tuesday night at Lockington.

The Hull Thursday Racing Team were back in action on home roads this weekend (April 13th) for the club’s annual road race held over six laps of the tortuous Newbald circuit.

A good evening for the first evening event. A little chilly but a favorable wind, and dry.

After the success of the previous week at Eddie Soens, another six members of the Hull Thursday Racing Team rocked up for the first event at the closed circuit on Darley Moor on Saturday 8th March.

Veteran time-triallists, John Savage, Richard Bielby and Jim Trevor all completed in the inaugural Bolsover and District Cycling Club Open 10 mile time trial on the O10/1 on Saturday 22 March, 2014.

You may be aware, Marie Curie is the charity partner for this year’s three UK stages of the Tour de France, the most prestigious, gruelling and inspirational sporting challenge in the world.

Not a bad day for racing all told. Fairly warm for the time of year and and although slightly windy for the first leg thereafter fairly quick and the road surface was good all the way round.

Just to let HTRC members know that I am helping the proprietor of William’s Farm Kitchen (Farm Shop based at Hornsea Freeport ) organise a sportive in Holderness on Sunday 22nd June 2014.

Jim Trevor ‘The Hellenic Hawk’ was flying the Hull Thursday colours in remote areas of rural Yorkshire whilst competing in the Y.R.C. Open 10 on the brutal V810 course based between Ilkley and Skipton on Sunday 23rd March, 2014.

Report (by Mark Walker, his usual excellent reporting self) and the result of the Hull Thursday RC George Ely 2-up 25 mile team time trial held on 22 March 2014.

The East Yorkshire Road Race League is all set up for this year and Andy Abbott is now taking entries to the series of eight events.

Why should you set goals and have a training plan for cycling improvement?  I am Richard Guymer, cycling coach and member of Hull Thursday Road Club and I will explain why.
