President/Time Trial Secretary – Paul Kilvington
We want to introduce some variety into the club programme. Over the past few years Hull Thursday Road Club has organised a “sporting” time trial series” which has proved very popular.
Run on quiet safer countryside roads, the various courses provided a chance to use a number of bike handling skill like cornering, fast descents, constant gear changes and some challenging hill climbs, all add to gaining more experience for road racing.
We hope by promoting these events that this will provide a basis to encourage younger or new members to give racing a go.
Treasurer – Neil Dean
Neil first started riding with the CTC in 2003, then joined Hull Thursday in 2009 to take part in the Time Trial series and became hooked on going faster.
He now also enjoys racing in the local road race league and LVRC events. Has also ridden (suffered) in BC events, and keeps coming back for more.
Coach – Richard Guymer
Richard started cycling in 1972 with the City Road Club (Hull) later becoming a life member.
He has competed in time trials, road races, mountain bike, cyclo-cross and track. He has also organised events in most of these disciplines.
Latterly his racing took second place to transporting son Steve around the country and abroad to race first in British Schools events and then BC and CTT events. Recently he has taken to riding in the French Alps and has ridden the Alps Open Tour.
Several years ago Jim Sampson threatened to retire and persuaded Richard to qualify as an ABCC Coach which he did in January 2010. He is now on the national committee.
Internet Editor – Chris Brown
Chris started out cycling with South Elmsall SCC in the mid-80s, competing in time trials at 10 and 25 miles, and a hill climb. After a year with Featherstone Road Club Chris went away to art college and stop cycling until moving into this area in 2004. In 2012 he rode his first time trial for 25 years on the Beverley by-pass and went on to set a lifetime best for 10 miles on the V718 later that year.
Chris will ensure the club has a site where information is up-to-date, easily located, and the design reflects the image of the club. If anyone would like anything publishing on the site please email.

Despite their name ‘Cycopaths’, this bunch of off road nuts are a friendly bunch who enjoy riding on bridle ways and quiet country lanes. They cater for all ages and fitness levels, so you should find the rides to your liking. During the Winter months, they ride every Sunday morning staring at 9am and rides last for approx 2 hours.
Over the years, we have had more that 250 riders join us at various times and our record attendance was 38 one fine summer evening a few years ago at Skidby. If you need any further info, please contact John.
Coach/Youth Development Officer – Richard Guymer
I aim to introduce youngsters to the sport of cycling through turbo sessions in the winter and organised group rides in the spring and summer months, leading to competition in local road and time trial races.
One of Richard’s claims to fame is beating a young Malcolm Elliot in a sprint for second place in the Hull Thursday Road Club road race many years ago!
