SATURDAY 16th November is the club’s annual quiz night, this is being held at the Globe pub in Guisborough. The quiz is as usual is an easy (!!!!) fun type quiz, you don’t have to be a brain of Britain to take part but a knowledge of nursery rhymes, biology may or may not be required. A good buffet is in included in the ticket price and the winning team may even get a prize. Limited numbers for this evening so it is first come first served. Cost £6 per head, money in advance.

Mick Storey recently completed a Coast to Coast ride, setting off from at 4am. The ride was in aid of Prostate Cancer, but unfortunately for Mick he picked one of the wettest days of the year. Congratulations from the Club.

Mike Binks Memorial Road Race Nigel Hopper Sunday 4th August 2013 Nathan Edmondson riding for Node 4 - Giodarni secured victory in the 2013 Mike Binks Memorial Road Race at the end of the 70 mile race in . A field of 44 competitors started coming from the local and surrounding areas with riders travelling from as far afield as Hitchin and Glasgow. On Sunday 4th August the 37th Mike Binks Memorial Road Race took place under a blue sky. The road race held each year in memory of Mike Binks a promising 25 year old cyclist killed in a road accident on a training ride.

The race was held on the same course used for last year’s race, a loop on the local roads around Seamer through Thornton, Maltby to Hilton back to Seamer, with the riders having little time to enjoy the sunny picturesque North Yorkshire landscape due to the fast pace from the off in the sunny dry conditions and a strong westerly breeze. From the early part of the 1st lap Harry Tanfield riding for Herbalife – Leisure Lakes Bikes.com took an early lead riding away on his own, but was quickly caught up by a group of seven. This group took up a 20second lead which increased through the race.

By lap 7, four riders were in the leading group Nathan Edmondson Node 4 Giodarni with Kit Gilham Metaltek, Charlie Tanfield a junior rider aged 16 Team Wallis Cycles, Tom Bustard Herbalife-Leisure Lakes Bikes and Scott McCrossan Rock to Roll Cycles. From following on some 90seconds behind was Charlie Tanfield Team Wallis Cycles, Harry Tanfield and James Alder Velo 29 - Blackhawk and the some way back the remaining group of riders. This was how the final 2 laps remained until the sprint for the finish where the win was taken by Nathan Edmondson from Tom Bustard Herbalife – Leisure Lakes Bikes, with 3rd Scott McCrossan Rock and Roll Cycles Ltd.

RACE ROUND UP

Congratulations to Mike Rennison who became a British Cycling National Champion on 28th July at the Darley Moor Motor Circuit in Derbyshire. Six British Cycling National Paracycling Championship titles were up for grabs in two races. First Race was for those with a C Classification (Bike Riders). Youth Boys Matt Hamilton (MC5) and Louis Rolfe (MC2) plus females Chloe Selman (FC4) and Katie Toft (FC3) did well to take advantage of their lap advantage from the men, the boys working particularly well to fend them off until half distance. The final group of nine stayed together despite some very spirited riding resulting in a gallop which was just won by Mike Rennison (MC4) from John Gildea (MC5) and Jaco Van Gass (MC3).

Currently Marcus Smith heads the club’s senior British Cycling points ahead of Mike Rennison and Dave Williams, Henry Demoliy is the club’s leading youth points scorer.

Simon Coates continues to have top 10 placings in local time trials, 5th place in the Cleveland Coureurs 25 and two 8th places Ferryhill Wheelers 50 and Stockton Wheelers 25. However a number of riders continue to show the club jersey in time trials including Richard Lillekar with top 20 placings as far away as Holme Valley and Ryton. The League 2000 continues to break all records for attendance this year. 860 rides by 144 different riders an average of 86 riders per round, however July 1st saw 100 entrants. Currently after 10 rounds two groups have been sorted Elliot Davidson in the O16 and Henry Demoliy in the U10.

The Evening Series has had one of its best years for quite a long time with close racing each week. Dave Kirton and Graeme Tate have been trading times weekly with, at the time of writing Dave Kirton leading the scratch group. Adam McManus has been pushing them hard all year and must surely be an overall contender next year with the development seen over this year. As there is still one result to come for the handicapped competition the results for this and the age related competition will have to wait for a later issue. Special mention should be made of the junior members who have been racing weekly, Paige McLeod, Ross Turner, Toby Tanfield and Aaron Preston, all of whom have enjoyed their experience and speeded up race by race. The annual interclub competition between Stockton and ourselves was won by Stockton this year but again full details of their winning time will appear in the next issue.

The Evening Series is a big team event as everyone registered for the series marshals at least once which is the only way it could take place but special mention should be made of those who have given up their time on a weekly basis; Lesley Meadows, Bill Millen and Paul Christon for the weekly organisation. Bill Millen for acting as official timekeeper (a particularly onerous job! Cheers Bill), Ian Hutchinson for results compilation and Derek George for his work on the handicapping. Again without the additional work that they do it would not go ahead as it would be impossible for one person to do it all. If you would like to get a bit more involved by perhaps running a few weeks please contact Mike Cole. Club Runs - Frequently Asked Questions Paul Christon

We’d like anyone to feel comfortable coming on a Club Run, young or old, male or female. We’re getting quite a few enquiries about the Club Run at the moment, particularly from riders new to cycling. I’m quite happy to respond to any emails but I have noticed that most people are asking me similar questions so I thought it might be useful to put my typical responses on the website and our Facebook page. If you are not sure about anything please feel free to email me as well if you want to as I really don’t mind. 1. How fast do you go? When I look at my computer at the end of the ride the average is normally somewhere between 16 and 18 mph depending on the route and conditions. Remember though that you will ride faster in a group as you will get the benefit of the draft. This could be as much as 1-2 mph for the same effort so if you ride at 15 mph average on your own for an undulating 2 hour route then you should be okay.

2. How far do you go? We start and normally swing back by Great Ayton car park and a route will probably be between 40-50 miles. If you’re riding up then you will need to add on your miles to and from. Many new riders struggle with the distance rather than speed so you do need to take this into account. If you’re worried about the distance or you’re restricted for time you could drive up to the car park or you could branch off at some point on the route (several people do this). Let me or whoever else is leading the ride that you intend to do this though. We now also have an easier paced group going out so if you’re unsure it might be advisable to start with them and then progress onto the longer quicker ride when you feel ready.

3. When and where do you meet? 10am every Sunday at the free car park in Great Ayton near the small Tourist Information Office, which is close to the shops.

4. Can I just turn up? You can as long as you have read the information and come adequately prepared for a 2-3 hour ride. Also check our Facebook site to familiarise yourself with the intended route and introduce yourself at the start to one of the regular riders.

5. I haven’t ridden in a group before, is that a problem? No. Advice would be to avoid sudden changes of direction and hard braking and watch for other riders pointing out hazards. Experienced riders sometimes seem to ride very close to the wheel of the rider in front but this is normal to get the benefit of the draft and is quite safe, don’t overlap wheels with the rider in front though. To start with just ride at a distance that you feel comfortable with. Also take care when descending, give other riders space, pick your lines carefully and don’t take undue risks as you could bring another rider off.

6. What if I can’t keep up? You do have to be realistic about how fast and far you can ride, even riding at 1 or 2 mph above your comfortable pace is very difficult to sustain and if we advise you to consider a slower group please don’t take offence, it is important to ride at a speed that you are comfortable with. That said rides invariably get strung out and we do wait and regroup or slow the pace, especially on hilly rides, so let us know if you are struggling. We’ve all been there at some point and even experienced cyclists have bad days.

7. What if I have a mechanical problem? We would stop and fix it if we can. This is one of the advantages of riding in a group, along with the safety of the bunch and the banter. We would expect you to come equipped as if you are going out for a ride on your own though. We would advise a minimum of: 2 tubes, pump, tyre levers, multi tool, food, 1 litre of drink. Other things to consider carrying are: chain tool, glue less patches/puncture repair kit, cable ties. Sometimes though something happens that can’t be repaired or you might be ill and can’t continue riding so it is always wise to have a means of getting home if possible no matter what happens. So carrying a mobile and some cash is advised. The best way to think about the Club Run is a supportive ride – riders generally help one another if they can, rather than a supported ride – taking complete responsibility for your ride.

8. Can I come if I’m not a member of the club? Yes, in fact we would encourage that. Quite a few people have joined the club after doing the club runs and we’ve enjoyed the company of a few people who are members of other clubs and from people on holiday who are staying in the area. The more the merrier!

9. Is there a charge? No.

10. Will I need to take my turn at the front? Not unless you want to or are a strong rider, then we might put you on front for the whole route – only joking!

11. How many riders come out? Numbers have increased significantly of late and 12-20 is now typical, more on some occasions. This does vary according to the route chosen, time of year, weather, what else is on etc.

12. Do you do hilly rides? We live near some of the best cycling terrain in the country so it would be a shame not to take advantage of it, but we do mix it up and we take the weather into account. We tend to do more hilly routes in the spring and summer. Hills are a great way to improve your cycling too but you do need to take the terrain into account when deciding whether or not you want to ride. Normally we decide the route in advance and put it on the club Facebook a couple of days before and I also email round, so if you want to be added to the email group just contact me at [email protected]

13. Do you stop at cafes? Usually when we get back to Great Ayton (this is optional) but we may stop elsewhere if people have the time, especially if its good weather and we’re doing a slightly longer route. We’d always advise you to bring drinks, an energy bar or similar and some money, just in case.

A FLAT RIDE Steve Binks

After the last few Spokesman editions have had tales of epic rides over many mountains I thought it was time for a ride in the flat lands, not a hill insight. This is a ride in the Norfolk Broads which Sherry and I undertook whilst on a short holiday in Norfolk. We set out from our B&B a Grade Two listed building in Ridlington north of Norwich and headed towards the coast at Happisburgh. Sherry was quite happy as it was flat all around and views were distant. Happisburgh could lay claim to being the oldest village in Northern Europe after archaeological excavations on Happisburgh Beach revealed that ancient humans lived in Britain more than 800,000 years ago, making them the earliest northern Europeans. However today you have to be careful when riding to the beach as the road just disappears over the cliff edge following coastal erosion.

We decided to follow, as closely as possible the coast line southwards for a few miles, the roads with very little traffic on them heading towards our next stop Horsey Windpump. It is an early 20th century wind powered drainage mill which stands on the edge of Horsey Mere. The mill was severely damaged by lightning in 1943 and was subsequently restored by The National Trust. This was our only climbing of the day walking up the stairs to the top!! Our intention was to go out on a boat across the broads. We booked our slot and sat and had some refreshments whilst we waited for the boat to appear. Our time came and went but no boat, we were waiting at the wrong place and as the next trip was 2 hours away we decided to continue on our ride.

The bikes took us along the edge of the sand dunes complete with holiday chalets to Winterton then onto Ormesby, yes there is more than one. However this where we had to turn onto the main A149 which was slightly busier than the coastal road. We were now heading inland and upon reaching Rollesby Broad time for sandwiches. Rollesby is one of five broads called the Trinity Broads which have been designated as a site of Special Scientific Interest (SSI), an interesting stop watching the wildlife.

We continued westwards along the A149 before turning onto the lanes again at Potter Heigham. Our route now took us on some very small quiet lanes to the west of Hickling Broad to the village of Hickling Heath. We decided to head to the visitors centre for Hickling Broad. This broad turned out to be the largest of them all and we found we were in time for a boat trip across to one of the bird hides. Whilst neither of us are ornithologists it was an interesting excursion, and no I cannot remember any of the birds spotted but there were quite a few. Back on dry land we had pedalled 32 miles and were now heading towards our digs. The roads in this part of the Broads are quiet with high hedges in places and not always well signposted so a few minor deviations were incurred. We headed north through Ingham and Lessingham before heading towards Happisburgh Common and finally Ridlington. In total 43 miles on the bike with a total climbing of nearly 400m but bear in mind the highest elevation was 27m and the lowest -2m. Flat and very enjoyable.

Stokesley

The Doomsday book of 1086 records that in Stokesley there was a water mill, with both water and horse drawn wheels within the same building, this was an unusual feature. The mill was demolished in 1983, but the wheel which is believed to date from around 1850, was rescued by the Stokesley Society, to be preserved as a relic of Stokesley’s long association with milling is still to be seen on the banks of the river Leven.

Stokesley Town Hall, an imposing building in the centre, was built in 1853 in the Italian style of architecture, at the expense of Col. Robert Hildyard replacing an older town house and toll booth. Originally this had an open arcade(butter market) at the rear. The town centre is now protected by a Conservation Area with many Grade I and Grade 11 listed buildings. These can be explored following the ‘Stokesley Trail’, available from the Parish Council office in the Town Hall. The trail concludes with a peaceful riverside walk, as a contrast to the bustle of the High Street. South Levenside was well planted with trees in 1934-35 in remembrance of Miss Jane Pace afterwards Mrs S Henty born at Stokesley on the 8th February 1817. She was the first white woman to settle permanently in Victoria, Australia in 1836

Stokesley had many industries such as printing and publishing, weaving and textile mills. Manufacturing of linen was carried on here, and that trade was extended, by two mills, one built by Thomas Mease, to be worked by steam, located on the banks of the Leven in the centre of the town. This building is still in use today as an Agricultural warehouse.

The former Preston Grammar School was the first Grammar School built in the town in College Square in 1832 with money bequeathed by John Preston, an attorney of Stokesley. This building is now in use as an Indian Takeaway. The First Methodist Chapel dated from 1765-1812 at which John Wesley preached on 11th July 1776 on one of his twelve visits to the town but, according to his journal, ‘it would by no means contain the congregation’. The White House. Traditionally John Wesley stayed here on one of his preaching visits to the town. The home of Lady Mary Hullock under whose will the Lady Hullock’s Charity was created in 1854 to provide fuel and clothing to the poor of the town Stokesley had a parish workhouse accommodating fifty inmates in operation from as early as 1755 on High Green. A number of other parishes in the area paid for paupers to be taken in by Stokesley. The dilapidated building receiving, sick, and vagrants' wards was unable to provide segregated accommodation for the different classes of inmate. Eventually, in 1847, the Stokesley Guardians were persuaded to build a new workhouse accommodating 104 inmates at a site to the north-east of Stokesley. It was completed in 1848 and at the end became a Care Home, it was closed in 2005 and is now awaiting redevelopment.

Stokesley Manor House is an imposing building at the eastern end of the Market Square, the gate piers came from Angrove Hall which was demolished in 1832 Stokesley Agricultural Show is held every year on the third Thursday in September. It was founded in 1859 with a meeting held in ‘The Golden Lion on the High Street (now Chapters Hotel) The West Green area has trees with old buildings surrounding the green. The whole of the town provides features of planted floral tubs in the summer months to welcome visitors to the area.

Government and Cycling The Government have recently announced a series of initiatives to aid cyclists.

These include £77 million will be invested in cycling in the UK. The money is to be divided between Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Bristol, Cambridge, Oxford and Norwich, while the New Forest, Peak District, South Downs and Dartmoor will each share a slice of £17 million funding for national parks. With local contributions, the total new funding for cycling is £148 million between now and 2015.

They also announced a commitment to cut red tape that can stifle cycle- friendly road design and to encourage changes to the way roads are built or altered. Councils will be expected to up their game to deliver infrastructure that takes cycling into account from the design stage.

The Government stated “Following our success in the Olympics, the Paralympics and the Tour de France, British cycling is riding high - now we want to see cycling soar. Our athletes have shown they are among the best in the world and we want to build on that, taking our cycling success beyond the arena and onto the roads, starting a cycling revolution which will remove the barriers for a new generation of cyclists. This government wants to make it easier and safer for people who already cycle as well as encouraging far more people to take it up and business, local government, developers, road users and the transport sector all have a role to play in helping to achieve this.”

Further recent initiatives are also including Investment in ‘cycle proofing’ New trunk road schemes that have a significant impact on cyclists, such as junction improvements or road-widening, will be ‘cycle-proofed’ so they can be navigated confidently by the average cyclist.

Significant junction upgrades and other improvements will help cyclists at 14 locations on the trunk road network where major roads can prove an obstacle for journeys by bike. £5 million will be invested in upgrades this year and a further £15 million will be invested in 2015 to 2016, with plans in place for many more similar schemes. This commitment to improved cycling facilities is intended to put Britain on a level-footing with countries known for higher levels of cycling like Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands.

The creation of a new national School Awards Scheme to recognise schools that have demonstrated excellence in supporting cycling and walking; the UK cycle industry, led by the Bicycle Association, has volunteered to work with government to sponsor this award. The government is extending its commitment to support Bikeability cycle training into 2015 to 2016

Helping local authorities help cyclists The government has already made it easier for local authorities in England to help cyclists. Measures include removing bureaucracy to introduce 20 miles per hour (mph) speed restrictions, which make streets safer for all road users. Improving junctions, signals and cycle lanes The government has also made it easier to introduce ‘Trixi’ mirrors at junctions so that HGV drivers can see cyclists more easily and contraflow measures so that cyclists can use one-way streets to avoid the busiest roads and junctions.

Additionally, the government is currently working with highway authorities to trial a raft of measures to improve roads for cyclists. These include mini- signals at cyclists’ eye height to give more targeted information to cyclists and the possibility of a head start at junctions along with filter signals for cyclists as an alternative way of providing a head start at traffic lights. There are also trials of different roundabout designs to reduce the speed of vehicles to provide a safer route for cyclists and options for larger advanced stop lines, to accommodate the growth in cycling and make it safer for cyclists at junctions. Further work is underway to make it even easier for councils to install mandatory cycle lanes and contraflow cycle lanes, cutting costs and complexity for councils. The government is also looking to remove the requirement for a lead-in lane for cyclists at advanced stop lines, making it easier for highway authorities to install advanced stop lines at junctions. The Department for Transport is also arranging a conference in the autumn aiming to encourage local authorities to deliver better cycle infrastructure.

The Transport Secretary has said: “We have seen a significant growth in the number of cyclists in London over the last few years. But cycling shouldn’t be confined to the capital. These announcements shows we are absolutely committed to boosting cycling in cities and the countryside across the whole of England. I want to help open up cycling to more people and these measures to make cycling safer on our roads are an important part of that.”

Park Runs

Whilst we are a cycling club some members are actually going running!! Every Saturday morning there is a number of events called the Park Run. On there are 4, the first run was in Albert Park, now Stewart Park, Locke Park and the Tees Barrage see hundreds of lost souls running 5km.

Whilst the usual suspects are there Paul Christon, Clive Thornton, Tony Main, Sandra Main, Paige McLeod, Natasha Thornton, Vicki Howe. There may be others but two I haven’t mentioned who have turned to the dark side are Sherry Binks and Steve Binks. Sherry has completed 13 her PB being 32.00 whilst Steve has completed 7 with a PB of 38.59. For the record the others mentioned Paul Christon, 175 runs PB 18.04 Clive Thornton, 40 runs PB 18.31 Tony Main, 39 runs PB 22.21 Sandra Main, 93 runs PB 27.39 Paige McLeod, 91 runs PB 27.45 Vicki Howe 20 runs PB 23.36 Natasha Thornton 4 runs PB 25.56

Polite Request Lately, several times, riders have come past me on the bike without letting me know that they are there, in fact last year I was knocked off my bike and I believe that it may have been two cyclists who were the culprits!. Sometimes it can be a bit unnerving. I wonder if you could put something in the next Spokesman asking members to warn any cyclist they may be overtaking. It does not have to be much-just a "Look out behind" or a "Hi!" would do and it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers Dennis. Are you a lost soul?

There is no time like the present, for postponing what you ought to be doing, and go cycling instead. Your car sits outside your garage because your garage is full of bikes and cycling gear. My personal favourite and one I intend to do the next time I buy a car...... You take your bike along when you shop for a car – just to make sure the bike will fit inside. When driving you yell “on your right” when passing another car You yell “hole” when you see a pothole while driving your car. Your bike has more miles on its computer than your car’s odometer. You convert you cars brake and gas pedals to clipless You refuse to buy a sofa because that patch of wall space is taken up by the bike. You have more money invested in your cycling clothes than the rest of your combined wardrobe. You have stopped trying to explain to your wife/husband why you need two bikes....you just go buy another one and figure it will all work out in the divorce settlement! You hear someone has crashed and your first question is “How is the bike?” You convert to kilometres ...... they are faster!
