BJW Open 10M TT – Sun 10th June

by


The club’s annual Open 10 mile time trial will take place on Sunday 10th June on the P415 ‘Ski Slope’ course on the A35.

Entries for the event can be made via the CTT website here.

Some fast times were posted in the Poole Wheelers ‘Gary Dighton Memorial’ event at the weekend on the same course, so this gives riders another opportunity to ride one of the quickest courses in the district.

If you aren’t intending to ride, contact the organiser, Lauren Barber, to offer your services helping to marshall the race, sign the course, assist with results, make cups of tea or help in whatever way you can. The stage race proved that the more people helping out the better the event will be. It will probably all be finished by 9.30 so you wont even miss out on the Sunday ride!

Lauren can be contacted at lrrbarber@outlook.com

Tues 15th May TT – Important Change!

by

Please note there are a few small changes to tomorrow’s interclub TT with Poole Wheelers.

– Parking and Sign On is now at Queen Elizabeth School – the car park on the right as you enter the grounds
– Sign on in the school foyer – school toilets will be available
– First rider off is 1900 (NOT 1915 as advertised)

Course remains the same.

Louisa and Andy Cooper Break BJW Mixed Tandem 25M Record

by

Tandem partnership Louisa and Andy Cooper followed up last year’s success on a 10M course with an attempt on the Club 25M record at the Welsh CA Championships on the fast R25/3H on Sunday. In Louisa’s own words…

“Following last years success with a fast 10 in Hull we wanted to have a go at a 25 as the numbers indicated the mixed club and even the national record could be possible.

“The conditions looked fast going into the event, heading out to the turn (15 miles) we were 10 seconds up on the national record, even at 20 miles we were still on track. Unfortunately the head wind really picked up for the remaining 5 miles and we watched as our average speed dropped below the 31.5mph target. We absolutely buried ourselves up to the line but finished just 27 seconds short.

“It’s great to come so close to a national record and gives us confidence that these records could be achievable”

A great result but also bad luck on the National Record…

24th April Club 10M Results

by

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.

Louisa Cooper Breaks Club 25M TT Record

by

Congratulations to BJW Club Secretary Louisa Cooper who continues her magnificent record breaking 2017 form into 2018.

Yesterday (22nd April 2018) Louisa broke the BJW Ladies 25M Club Record with a 00:57:27 at the Ogmore Valley Wheelers Open on the R25/3H in South Wales.

In Louisa’s own words:

“Really pleased to take the 25 club record, I thought this would be the toughest one as Sarah Pascoe’s time of 57.45 set in 1996 was an incredible time and the reason it’s taken 22 years to break. A heavy downpour of rain whilst warming up meant that the roads were wet when I set off, I took it really easy on all the roundabouts not wanting to take any risks and without thinking I’d be on for the club record. I was lucky with the wind conditions but fell apart a bit with 5 miles to go, just the thought of breaking this record got me to the line.”

Good luck to Andy and Louisa Cooper who in just under 2 weeks time who will be taking their tandem to the same course in Wales, hoping for some fast conditions and perhaps another club record?

TT Sunday 18th CANCELLED

by

Unfortunately we have decided to cancel tomorrow’s TT. Regardless of if it snows or not it’s currently raining with freezing conditions forecast tonight so a high risk of ice tomorrow.

We now take a few weeks off before starting the Tuesday evening TTs on April 10th at Furzehill.

Club TT Sun 18th – Course Change

by

Unfortunately Moortown Lane is closed and so we won’t be able to ride the 25M P304 TT course. We will run the 10M P311 instead.

Sign on as usual at Moortown, first rider off 10:01.

BJW 2018 Stage Race

by

Following the success of our road race over the past two years, Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers will be running a two day, three stage race on the weekend of Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th May under BC regulations. The event is a Regional A category event and is open to 2nd, 3rd & 4th cat riders.

Saturday 12th May will comprise of two time trial stages:
Stage 1 is a prologue time trial/hill climb of approx. 1 mile from Furzehill to the top of Colehill.
Stage 2 is time trial of approx. 10 miles which will be run on a slightly amended version of the P472c course, running from Furzehill, through Gaunts Common and Chalbury Common down to Horton. Then turning left up the Horton Rd to the Horton Inn and then left along the Cranborne Rd finishing just outside Wimborne.

Note: Both time trials are to be ridden on ordinary road bikes: no pointy hats, aero bars or disc wheels!

Stage 3 will be run on Sunday 13th May. This is a 56 mile road race covering 10 laps of the Lulworth Circuit: the same as last year’s road race.

Hopefully the format will prove attractive giving racers a tough weekend’s competition, being one of the few stage races in the region and allowing a good ‘testers’ v ‘roadies’ showdown!

BC ranking points will be awarded for the three stages on a Regional C+ basis and on a Regional A basis for the overall general classification, so plenty of ranking points on offer!

Entry is NOW OPEN online at the BC Website.

Organiser Bob Richardson is also keen to hear from anyone who would like to volunteer their services in helping to officiate, organise, help out or generally dogsbody for the event. He can be contacted at bobc.richardson@ntlworld.com
