This week the TT season is drawing to a close, don’t miss out on the final racing night of the year! No guarantees of super fast night but there is always a chance of that PB!  It’ll be great to see everyone out for the season finale 🎆🎇

The weather is looking a bit off, but showers are incredibly hard to forecast. I’m confident we can keep the race on 🤞 We’ll only postpone if there is standing water on the course.

To race, no specialist kit is needed. You only need a bike! After that, it is the challenge of beating your PB for the season! You may also win a trophy along the way 🏆

The race is open to all PW members and non-members. It costs £5 for members and £6 for Non-Members.

For Junior riders, we ask for an optional £3 contribution to cover the club costs of paying the governing body CTT. We want to continue supporting our junior riders and don’t want the price to be a barrier, so we have made this an optional cost.

You can pay on the night, preferably by cash, but you can also pay by bank transfer or contactless card.

PW 10 TT mile results ☀️☀️☀️=🚀

Tim FlynnLeave a Comment on PW 10 TT mile results ☀️☀️☀️=🚀

Firstly as always a huge thanks to our timekeepers and marshalls. They have been absolute rocks of our TTs this year. Ros Spencer & Tom Kelly timekeeping. Sam Upshall, Craig Weston & Andy Haas for marshalling on the corners 🙌

What we discovered tonight is super hot continuously dry weather, mixed with end-of-season fitness equals super quick times 🚀

Before I go into the top result, this week saw PBs for so many. Pep Neimeijer (25.00), Robbie Fall (25.13), Sian Mcpherson (26:43), and Colin Brumble (23:23)  all continued their great seasons with NEW PBS tonight 👊

There were also Personal Bests for Sarah Inwood (26:57), Oli Davies (24:56) and Ed Palmer (24:56). I’m sure I have missed a few but shout out in the comments if you hit a new quickest time.

The headline result tonight goes to Tom Day. Only a few weeks ago, Tom was the first person to smash through the sub-20 mark on the P459 course. Tonight, Tom became the first, and potentially the only person for a long time to go sub 19! He obliterated his previous best by over a minute in a time of 18:46, Chapeau 👏

At the top of the Premier division, PBs all round means the winner of the league will go down to the final the race, winner takes it all!😬

Tim Flynn took the quickest time on the night with 20:57. Close behind in second was Alex Rowling with 21:13. Taking third was Steve Pink in 21:27.

In the road bike league, fresh with his super slick new bike setup, Dan Newman had the quickest time with a 22:42 and a new PB. In second place and taking over 30 seconds of last week’s time was Daniel Paine. Rounding out the top 3 (you guessed it, with a new PB) was Ed Palmer with a 24:56.

Finally few shout-outs. Firstly the ever-present supporter, Keith Griffin, decided to give Time Trialling a go. Representing Swanage CC, on his first event rode a super strong 30:09. Hopefully we see you back racing next week! Also a shout out to Amy Yeoman. Her first TT on the P459 and she brought home a very quick 26:03 🤟

Next week is our last TT of the season. We’ll be starting this event at 6:45 pm. Make sure you get out of work early to join the season finale!

PW TT Results – 3rd August 🚀💨

Tim FlynnLeave a Comment on PW TT Results – 3rd August 🚀💨

Firstly a big thanks to all of our helpers tonight. Our crack timekeeping team Ros and Marcy. Our marshalls, the ever-present Andy Haas and club legend Craig Weston. Finally Sam Upshall and Stuart Ramsay helping organise riders on the line calling riders as they finish. We couldn’t have put the event on without you 🙌

 

Tonight it seemed like a lot of people had a rocket strapped to their bike 🧨🚀 With the wind blowing steadily from the South West, it created some great conditions for racing tonight!

 

To start, congratulations to Wessex RC rider Tom Clements. With a metronomic cadence, he tore around the P459 course in 20:31. A rapid time and the fourth quickest this year 🏆

 

In the battle for the TT leagues, Tim Flynn and Alex Rowling continued to trade places. Both taking the next quickest times on the night, 21:25 & 22:07. Only a couple of points separate the top 3, Tim Flynn, Alex Rowling and Steve Pink it’ll go to the last TT to decide the winner!

 

The road bike category win was taken by road racer Dan Newman, 23:07 was unmatched on the night. Shout out to first-time rider Daniel Paine. Only in the country for one week, brushing off the jet lag from his flight, puts down the second quickest road bike time of 24:04 🤟

Third and quickest female & Junior on the night was Holly Ramsey. Switching to the road bike Holly showed she is carrying some great form into the end of the season getting a 24:51 🥉 💪

 

To demonstrate that every second counts, fourth to seventh were separated by a mere 7 seconds. Ben Whitcher won the battle with a 25:02. Narrowly behind was the returning Kieran Graham in a 25:03, followed by Thom Rigden in 25:05 then Martin Cracknell in 25:09 #Squeezetotheline

 

There were also plenty of PBs tonight but to name two big improvements 💪 Ed Palmer took 1 minute 23 seconds off his PB and now has his sights firmly on a sub-25-minute TT before the end of the season. Hannah Mitchell also took 1 minute 11 seconds of her PB coming home in an impressive 32:24 on her second event 👊💥

 

Thanks to everyone who raced tonight and for making it a fun atmosphere. Only two more TTs left this season. Make sure you get signed up next week!

Firstly big thanks to everyone helping tonight. Ros Spencer and Marcia Rendall timekeeping ⏱ Our two marshalls Sam Upshall and Andy Haas 🦺 and to those helping on the line, Stuart Ramsay, Keith Griffin and Jeremy Gill 🙌

It was a pleasure to come up Puddletown Road without a headwind 🌪 Light winds all evening led to some quick times on the night 🤟

Firstly a shout-out to some massive PBs. Alex Rowling, switching to a TT bike, took the overall best time on the night with a 21:37 🏆

Holly Ramsay was the fastest female on the night and knocking loads of tome of her PB with a 23:41 🏆

Rufus King and Sian Mcpherson went sub 27 minutes for the first time this season with a 26:41 & 26:47 👏

Pep Neimeijer continued his impressive form for the season getting another huge PB of 25:46.

A few first timers tonight and as far as I know loved the course! Fionn O’Carroll was super strong on a road bike with a 25:38. Hannah Mitchell, on debut, said although she nearly quit at 5 miles, loved it by the end! Her time of 33:35 beat her goal and will be back.

Give yourself a mention in the comments if you took PB or Course best.

The TT is back again next week at the same time of 7pm.

Results PW TT – 13th July

Tim FlynnLeave a Comment on Results PW TT – 13th July

After the promise of a quick night, I was slightly off. A North-East wind gave all of the riders a leg-sapping battle to get to the finish line.

A big shout out to Rufus King 📢 He took a huge 40 seconds off his PB this week 🙌

A few legends of the PW TT scene returned this Wednesday. On his first TT in a few years, Rob Flynn set a very respectable 27:41. Gary Tuskin came in just behind with a dead-on 28 minutes.

Cycling coach and the ever-quick Greg Parker set a super quick time of 26 minutes on his Road bike.

A huge thanks to the helpers this week. Our time keeping team of Ros Spencer and Tom Kelly. Stuart Ramsay organising the line and our two marshalls John Terry and Samantha Upshall.

Next weeks TT will be at 7:15pm
