The Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers 2018 Club TT season concluded on Tuesday with the traditional end of season ‘Legacy’ (Road Bikes Only) race on the 8.5M Pamphill course.
Tom Stocker was awarded the Pete Boston Memorial Tankard by Club President Peter Warhurst for winning the TT. Riders retired to the Vines Public House to consume recovery drinks and compare winter training plans.
Chairman Bob Richardson won the club series league this season breaking John Samways’ 3 year winning run!
BJW rides and events continue. Sunday club rides continue throughout the winter. The ever popular BJW Reliability Rides dates are now online. Watch this space for information about the Autumn Hill Climbs.
The BJW Dinner and Prizegiving will be on 10th November at the Stocks Inn. Watch this space for more information and menus.
Because tomorrow’s P304 25M TT was a potential clash with an NFCC event we have decided to join forces and have an ‘interclub’ event with NFCC.
NFCC are hosting / marshalling this event. Sign on at the main car park in Ringwood – from 1800 for a 1900 start.
Our current stock of club kit is running out fast. Click here for latest stock list.

11 BJW riders and one guest braved the winds for the Club 10 TT on the P311 Moortown – Sopley course last night. Full results here.
Nick Jones took the 50 points with an impressive 22:58, exactly the same time as on this course last week. So probably an improvement considering the Fresh SW headwind on the way out to Sopley.
Cliff Rowe recorded 25:59 on his gravel bike shod with 42mm knobbly tyres.
All of the C league riders recorded close times, with Chris Simpson second in the overall league standings at this stage of the season – the points system rewards attendance and consistency at all rider levels.
Next week is an 8.5M test on the P429 at Pamphill.
BJW would like to extend a warm welcome to more new members for the 2018 season.

The BJW Youth MTB rides have been well-supported over the winter months and after several weeks of wet, cold and muddy rides, the most recent session was blessed with good weather. Blue skies and warm weather made a welcome change! The riders have now progressed from the starter slopes of Turbary Common and are now tackling the big, bad trails of Canford Heath. This new terrain includes some bespoke downhill (DH) dirt trails and some fast, single-track cross-country (XC) routes. All young riders with a well-maintained off-road bike are welcome.
The details for the for the final two sessions for Saturday 3rd March and Saturday 17th March are as follows:
Start/Finish Point: End of Francis Avenue, near Knighton Heath Golf Course
Sessions Start: 10h00 / Session Close: 11h30

We had another good turnout at the second of the BJW off-road youth rides on 18th November, when 14 young riders made their way from the Bournemouth Velodrome to Turbary Common, where they tackled the gravel single track, the tree roots of the woodland section and the muddy puddles of the trails.
After threading their way safely through the residential streets, the riders explored traffic-free Turbary Common, a readymade mountain bike playground with a range of surfaces and terrains.
Riders have been developing their skills and techniques and having great fun in the process. The cold weather deterred many from taking part in the third event on 2nd December but with one more event before the end of the year, on 16th December there’s another chance for riders to get involved.
After Christmas the series resumes on 6th January 2018. Contact Richard Eastham on 017186 299 909 for more details
This year’s seasonal Mince Pie Evening will be held at The Vine, Pamphill on Tuesday 19th December.
