Pedal ups and downs

Triumphs and disappointment were charted by members of the Hastings and St Leonards Cycling Club at the weekend.

Of the three teams of pairs riding the Wessex VTTA team time trial at Ringwood in Hampshire, Mark Knowles, 16 aided by veteran partner Derek Addrison recorded a scorching 59min 2sec to score 11th position in the 49 team field.

Meanwhile John Willis and Pete Campany clocked a creditable 1hr 1min 55sec.

The third club team to start would have been juvenile club star Chris Kitchenham and veteran Keith Evans but a puncture during their pre-race warm up prevented then from even reaching the timekeeper

Following a winter of long training miles in harsh conditions, Hastings and St Leonards Cycling Club members are beginning to stretch their legs with some early season racing.

Several have been active in the Surrey and Kent road racing league series with John Willis, Frank Mcleod and Paul Panagi contesting the 3rd and 2/3rd category events.

Young Chris Kitchenham, now in junior ranks after three successive years as a schoolboy, looks to be starting the season on a high note.

Following his ninth place in the Sussex CA 25 mile time trial at Arundel earlier this month, he astounded fellow club members with a scorching 22 min 19 sec ride in the Elite CC 10 mile promotion at Brentwood on Saturday.

In a class field featuring some of the south’s top riders, Chris swept to the 4.99 miles turn in less than 10 minutes, while averaging speeds in excess of 35 mph.

On the return leg to the finish with the last half mile on tricky and narrow Essex lanes, he was hampered by a rising chill northerly wind which reduced his speed to just under the 25 mph barrier.

Beaten into second junior position by a mere 15 seconds, Chris took consolation in the knowledge that his real speed training has not yet started.

Cycling: Grey skies and a bitterly cold north wind greeted riders in Sunday’s 125 miles Tour of the Marshes event across Romney Marshes. John Willis, Guy Pike and Andy Hillman [Andrew Hillman] of Hastings and St Leonards Cycling Club, gave a good account of themselves against 20 professionals and 40 top amateur riders. The winds and high average speeds took their toll and most of the field, including the local trio, abandoned the race and opted for an early bath. Chris Kitchenham was first junior in a Kent CA 10 mile promotion on the Snodland bypass. He clocked 24mins 46secs.
