Paul Kirk Memorial North Lincs CycloSportive

Sunday saw an excellent turnout for the Paul Kirk Memorial North Lincs Cyclosportive, renamed  this year in memory of a Scunthorpe rider who died, aged 50, while taking part in the inaugural event last year.

The cyclosportive was founded as a way of raising funds for local charities in the area and this year it was for the Lindsey Lodge Hospice.

The morning was fresh with a “touch of frost” although the skies were looking blue.

Lindsey Lodge HospiceStarting and finishing at Ancholme Leisure Centre, Scawby Brook, the event followed a scenic route through Lincolnshire, with riders choosing whether to complete the full 100 mile course or undertake the shorter 100km when they arrive at the feed station and halfway point in Market Rasen.

At this point the weather started to turn and riders also had to contend with a lashing or two from hail stones and rain. A couple of riders had unexpected dismounts, however we are glad to report nothing serious.

The full route takes in Scawby, Greetwell Messingham, West Butterwick, Susworth, Laughton, Blyton, Upon, Kexby, Market Rasen, Binbrook, East Ravendale, Swallow, Great Limber, Kirmington, Wootton, Barton, Horkstow, Worlaby, Elsham, Wrawby and Brigg.

Matthew Porter (Organiser) said today that over 200 riders had taken part, about half of whom opted for the full 100 miles. It is estimated £2,000 will have been raised for the hospice.

Matthew said: “Thanks to everyone for the support for yesterday’s event. As a club we hope that we can continue to expand the event but will need a lot more volunteers to help out to achieve this.”

“A big thanks to all who helped make the day happen, well done.”

2012 Open Time Trials with the CTT

January 27, 2012 Paul Carvill One comment
hinchy_tt

As well as our own club ‘Time Trials’ which start on the 11th April 2012 (Dave Hinch will provide more details shortly), there are also open events that you can enter as long as you are a member of a CTT affiliated club such as Lincsquad.

Time trialling is the simplest of competitive formats: a race against the clock, with riders starting a minute apart. It’s known as the ‘race of truth’ because there’s nowhere to hide, no one to draft behind; just you and the bike and the thumping of your heart. Oh, and a clock ticking.

Most events are fixed distance, being 10,25,50 or 100 miles. There are also fixed time events -12 and 24 hours -with the objective being to ride the furthest you can. Courses are on public roads and are either’out and back’, using a roundabout to turn halfway, or circuits with consecutive left turns.

Mark Dyer has kindly put together a list of some of the events in Lincolnshire below.

The Paul Kirk North Lincs’ CycloSportive

December 20, 2011 Paul Carvill 2 comments
Derby 2 Pembroke Charity Cycle Ride

The sportive is basically a long training ride with the useful addition of a map and directions. The ride will set off from the Ancholme Leisure Centre at 8am and riders will be able to choose whether they do the full 100 miles or cut the route short to 100 km when they reach Market Rasen at the 46 mile mark. The ride is limited to 500 so secure your place now for just £15 before the 29th March 2012 (£20 on the day). There will be a cut off time for the 100 miler.

The sportive is now in memory of Paul Kirk who took part in the event with his daughter in 2011 and sadly suffered a fatal heart attack while halfway through the ride. The family would also like the event to continue in aid of Lindsey Lodge Hospice.

Lindsey Lodge Hospice offers very special care for people in the North Lincolnshire area living with life-limiting conditions such as cancer, multiple sclerosis and motor neurone disease. Every year hundreds of patients and their loved ones benefit from the care and support that they provide free of charge.

There are facilities at the Leisure Centre where you can get changed and have a shower.

Winter Club Runs on Sunday Mornings

October 27, 2011 Paul Carvill One comment
winter_club_runs

It’s that time of year again when the racing has come to an end and the training once again begins for next year.

So it’s time once again to bring back the Sunday Club run from the Ancholme Leisure Centre. The rides will vary depending upon who turns up and the weather, as always nobody gets left behind. So what’s your excuse?

Meeting Every Sunday (Ancholme Leisure Centre, Brigg) at 8:45am and setting off at 9:00am.

For those not familiar with the Sunday morning club run it is a steady training ride with a view to building up to higher mileages for the early spring/late winter.

Ride EssentialsFor the comfort of your fellow riders you should ideally fit mudgaurds and ensure you carry spare innertubes, pump and ideally a mobile just in case. Helmets are compulsory as with all Lincsquad group rides, however you don’t have to be a club member.

Jeff Chappell is also running some novice rides from Scunthorpe which range in mileage and an excellent introduction to group riding if you are new to cycling.

If you have any questions then please feel free to comment below.

Great weather for tonight’s Time Trial with 41 competitors turning up, 9 of which were new to our Time Trials, thats now 110 competitors this year, a big step forward on the 80 that took part last year, which again was a big step forward from the previous year, thank you for supporting the Time Trials.

Special mention to Chris Spavin who is the only person to have attended every Time Trial this year.

Well, a night of Personal Best’s with 20 in all and a new Lincsquad course record by Robbie Whitaker of 20:49, just 2 seconds of the allcomers course record.

Chris Spavin, Phil Binch & Ric Longcake have all had 6 PB’s this season, can any of them match last year’s record by Andy Veitch of 7 Personal Best’s in a season?

Just the one Time Trial to go on 31st August but there is still opportunity to move up in the Lincsquad Series, remember you need to complete 6 Time Trials to complete the series, awards will be issued at the annual Lincsquad Awards night for series winners/ runners up in both the mens & ladies series as well as some awards for most improved from last year and most improved over this season, so still lots to play for.
