Well into the season now, and two Club Championships events have already been decided. The Championship ‘10’, on 4 June, was won by James Cullen (24.43) with Claire Jessop (23.09 (6.30)) taking the Handicap Award. The ‘25’ on 11 June involved two laps of the Triangle course. The champion was Ged Millward in 1.00.29. Chris Dooley (59.27 (14.40)) won the handicap. The next championship event is the ‘30’ on 25 June (Huby).

The Triangle events are very well supported each Thursday night. The current point’s leader is John Buddle with 24 points. If you don’t already receive a regular email on the ‘Triangle’ or would like more information, contact the organiser, Sheldon Howcroft on sheldon.howcroft@talk21.com

The club has been represented in a number of open events. Recently, at the National VTTA ‘50’ Championship on the T502/2 we fielded seven riders and took the National Team award on standard. The three ‘counters’ were Mike Shacklock (+43.21), Chris Yates (+27.52) and Peter Yates (+25.41).

Only one member (second claim!) has stepped forward, so far, to help marshal the RTTC National ‘100’. It takes place on 12 July and is being run by the Yorkshire Cycling Federation (Dalton Village Hall HQ).
