The season may be drawing to a close, but the Hull Thursday Racing Team are still competing in the local racing scene. The latest event saw myself (Mark Walker), Josh Ravn and Danny Posnett tackle the 55 mile Knottingley Velo Road Race on the 13th September.

Having laid all my worries, concerns and “What was I thinking?” to pen about becoming a cycle racer, (and at my age), I thought I should follow it up with how my season went, and was it really just a bit of madness, midlife crisis and all that.

Once more the Hull Thursday Racing team headed south of the Humber for the 9th Blyton circuit race on Wednesday 12th August. We had a strong team present, with recent 3rd Cat. Josh Ravn, Matt Johnson, Neil Dean, myself (Mark Walker) and Danny Posnett.

Just a few words from Mike McAllister about the Beverley town centre crit on 24th July 2015.

Usually Tuesday nights are reserved for training rides or time trials for Hull Thursday lads, so a trip down to Blyton near Gainsborough on Tuesday 21st July was something of a novelty.

Hull Thursday Road Club’s Graham Morgan sprinted into second place in Friday’s Keith Jordan Memorial support race round the cobbled Beverley town centre circuit.

After a couple of weeks away from racing open events, I returned to the saddle for the Team Cystic Fibrosis RR on 19 July, with a chance to redeem myself.

Having never ridden this race before, but knowing that it had a section of unsurfaced road and a short section up a 20% concrete ramp, I followed the race organiser’s instruction to use training wheels and suitable gearing.

April 12th marked something of a home fixture for Hull Thursday with the Keith Carter Road Race taking place over the arduous Newbald course, which was to go up the Cote de Newbald 6 times!
There will be another introduction to racing session on Saturday morning. All are welcome to attend. We meet at Skidby Mill car park ready for a 9.30am start. From Skidby the ride distance will be about 40 miles, mainly at a steady pace.
We will of course wait for anyone who gets dropped when the pace or the incline increases. Hope to see you all on Saturday.

Hi all. Looking for some inspirational ideas. Neil and Amanda Dean and I are considering organising a Sportive in Barry Trotter's memory along similar lines to the Big G. It would be a stand alone event and the date is provisionally set as 7th or 8th of July 2018. We will be using Bishop Burton as HQ but using new routes.
As many of you will know Barry was a lifelong member of Hull Thursday Road Club and put a tremendous amount of time, effort and commitment into the clubs activities over many years. This culminated in him organising the East Yorkshire Classic Road Race in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
We hope the event would be just as successful as the Big G which was a fitting tribute to another great Hull Thursday member who is also sadly missed and fondly remembered.
Help is needed for suggestions for a name for the event.
Please feel free to post your suggestions here. We look forward to reading your suggestions.
Many thanks
Paul
