Scene 340 – September 2015 SCENE All the news for members of Hull Thursday Road Club www.htrc.co.uk Killer Climbs Trundlegate Spout Hill JIM TREVOR – THE 100 MILE RECORD MAN Inside: All the racing news, rider stories, and more. A Word from the Editor: Welcome to the latest edition of Scene. In this edition, now that the racing season has commenced, we cover the fantastic achievement of our own Jim Trevor, who recently broke the clubs 100 mile record. I know from personal experience how difficult it is to ride a 100 miles, let alone do so at an average speed of over 25 mph! We’ve got the usual features, such as the killer climbs series, featuring Trundlegate Hill, we’ve got tweet of the weeks, all the latest road race updates, and time trial supremo Neil Cleminshaw, taking on a whole different kind of threshold effort up in the French Alps. Mark Walker Scene Editor [email protected] JJIIMM TTRREEVVOORR’’SS RREECCOORRDD BR EAKING RIDE BR EAKING RIDE Jim Trevor, the ‘Hellenic Hawk’, annihilates the vets open TT record for ‘100’ miles taking 15 minutes from Gil Foston’s previous time and slices two minutes from Vic Smiths overall senior record which has stood for 39 years being set in 1976. 3:47:56 (26.3 mph average) Jim recorded 3 hours, 47 minutes, 56 seconds, which relates to 26.3mph average for the 100 miles held on the roads to the South of Middlesbrough, on the course coded as T1002 by the CTT/RTTC. The previous vets’ record stood at 4:02:26, and the overall record 3:50:37. The event promoted by Stockton Wheelers will be the National ‘100’ championship next year, again using the T1002 course, which navigates from Cranthorne, climbing to Osmotherly before descending and turning at Dishforth to return past the high spot of Osmotherly to turn at Cranethorne for the second 50 mile lap, totalling 100 miles. Jim Trevor in time-trialling action earlier this year. Four hours of torture Speaking exclusively to HTRC website after the event Jim commented, “I’ve targeted this event all season and sacrificed short distance speed to be able to ride 4 hours at a good intensity. At times it seemed like gambling the whole season on a single event, but it has paid off. Those who have ridden ’100s’ know it is the hardest TT distance of all. You have to ride near to the rivet for 4 hours. It’s mentally and physically hard. You’ve all the normal things to consider and you have to feed and drink as well. At this intensity you don’t want to feed, but you have to force yourself or you just won’t have the power in the later stages of the event. Riding 100 miles solo at over 26mph average is painful. Yeh, just short of four hours of torture. All of your body hurts. Nowhere escapes the pain.” Demolished it When the HTRC website editor asked Jim to comment on breaking the records he commented, “My feelings are two-fold on the records. Vic Smith recorded 3hrs 50mins on a 1970s 10 speed road bike with toe straps and no aero kit. Vic Smith is a legend, probably the best senior TT rider ever to wear HTRC colours. My new record set with aero kit, cycle computers as well as modern gels and drinks is difficult to be seen as the same as his. But my time it is the fastest ever so I’ll take it. On the other hand Gil’s record was set in the modern era with decent kit, aero equipment and modern food and drinks. I knew when I turned a vet I could beat Gil’s record if I set my mind to it. This season I did set my mind on it and I did not only beat it, I demolished it, taking 15 minutes from it. That’s a massive chunk. It feels good, real good.” The real test When questioned on the BBAR, Jim commented, “We’re off to a good start with a 1:54 ‘50’ and 3:47 for ‘100’. But the real test for the BBAR will be the ‘12’ (hour). I’m going to try the Swift ‘12’ near Pocklington. I’ve lined up 80s local BBAR legend Andy Fisher as well as my daughter to assist with feeding and mechanical support. Fingers crossed for some reasonable weather.” Congratulations to Jim from the Hull Thursday Road Club committee and all the club’s members. TWEETS OF THE WEEKS The Best of Social Media Involving HTRC Here at Scene we like to keep things light-hearted. So here’s our pick of tweets of the past few weeks. Matt Johnson proves he’s not only good at posing for the camera, but he can go uphill fast too. Here he is smiling after dominating the clubs hill climb atop Spout Hill. It’s July time again, so Hull Thursday were back in full force promoting the hugely successful Beverley Elite Cycle Series, led by club members Andy Cawley & Martin Cockerill. 2015 proved to be a great event once more. If its circuit race time, then that means it’s also BIG G weekend. These hardened warriors took on the classic route and seemed to enjoy themselves. The Hull Thursday Racing Team where in action at the Blyton Circuit Race in August, where Dan Posnett took another win, with Josh Ravn taking a solid 9th overall. Matt Johnson couldn’t resist a pose however. KILLER CLIMBS! TTrruunnddlleeggaattee Facts: One of the tougher climbs in the area for its topography, Trundlegate is a brute. Perhaps not the Distance: - 1.6km steepest or the longest in the region, but go up here on a windy day and you will in fact trundle up it. Average gradient – 5% Despite starting flat, you soon see the enormity of the task ahead. Past the national speed limit sign, the road Maximum gradient – 11% ramps up to its steepest section, around 11%. It then Height gain – 88 metres kicks right with nothing but sky and the road ahead in view. After toiling with the gradient for a while, the HTRC Category – 1st road eases after yet another right hander before Killer Climb Ranking - #6 levelling to a mere 2% to the top – where the views are breath-taking. A good time is around 5 minutes. Neil Cleminshaw’s 22001155 TToouurr DDee FFrraannccee TTrriipp wwiitthh aallppiinneeccaaddeennccee I was lucky enough to get booked onto a wonderful TDF trip for July 2015, the third cycling Holiday I’ve been on now with cycle tour company alpinecadence. Our Guide John Thomas is a Ski Instructor by Winter and a Cycling Tour Guide by Summer, his sportive performances are exemplary and getting better with each season; in fact he placed 91st Overall in the 2015 etape with a time of 5:39:46, which to put that into perspective, from 15,000 entrants and 10,000 finishers means he’s bl@@dy good! John has a great personality, extremely knowledgeable having lived and worked in the area for several years, he is supported by Tour Van Driver and fellow Les Arcs Ski Instructor Martin Rowe, Martin also has a great sense of humour, a cycling enthusiast and is also a keen photographer, so there’s always plenty of great snaps taken whilst on tour. Additionally John drafted in Nick McLoughlin as an additional rider to ensure our group had more support and options available during the week. This trip had everything for the keen cyclist and TDF enthusiast, riding in the Alpes in fantastic weather, covering many km’s the pros were riding that same day, with the added bonus of watching the race live from several points whilst the Tour hit the Maurienne valley region – I ask you, what’s not to like? The trip had an option of including the etape du tour, then a recovery ride before the TDF week, this time I opted for the shorter version, which still included 5 epic days riding in probably the best region imho for road riding in the world. Day 1 Alberville to Allevard - Tuesday 21st July 2015 This was a nice start to the day for me, the other riders having toiled in the 38 degree heat of the Sunday’s etape from Saint Jean de Maurienne to La Toussuire (which would be Stage 19 of the TDF) and had a recovery ride on the Monday. I was relatively fresh in comparison; two groups were selected departing at 8am and 8:30am, with me in the 2nd group. Lovely descent to ease us in down to Marmaudy with a nice flat road, we soon had the first 13 miles cracked off and then we were at the foot of the HC Giant Col de la Madeleine, feeling good I got into a great rhythm and soon recalled the sensations of climbing for over an hour and a half, taking in the spectacular views, the awesome scale and beauty of the Alpes – we caught up with some group 1 riders as we ascended, and all regrouped for lunch at the café at the summit, which offered welcome refreshments and spectacular views. The second part of the ride firstly gave the rapid 12 mile descent down to La Chambre, another renaissance for me, greatly enjoying alpine descending, extremely addictive; the more you do, the more you crave! We regrouped at La Chambre (which would be our hotel stop later in the tour). Then we pressed on to Epierre in the afternoon heat, which kept cranking up to make the next climb, a 7.6mile Cat 1 named the Col du Grand Cucheron.

  • Doping Critics Hack Computers for Chris Froome Data
    Doping Critics Hack Computers For Chris Froome Data Team Sky boss Sir Dave Brailsford has revealed that critics of Team Sky have hacked into the performance data of Tour de France leader Chris Froome. Sir Dave Brailsford said he believes data has been stolen by team©s critics to discredit the performances of Froome and raise doping suggestions. The Team principal added we think someone has hacked into our training data and got Chris' files, so we've got some legal guys on the case there. On Monday evening, a video that purportedly showed the ride of Froome on Mont Ventoux during the 2013 Tour with data on speed, heart rate, power, and cadence overlaid was removed from YouTube. Viewers of the video took to social media for interpreting the data and many suggested that there was evidence of doping. Froome had previously expressed his frustration ahead of the Tour of "clowns" trying to interpret power data. Chris Froome was leading the 2015 Tour de France by 12 seconds on the first rest day in Pau. Froome recently produced a ride to conquer stage 10 of the Tour de France and increase his overall lead to nearly three minutes. Froome - who led by 12 seconds overnight - broke away with 6.4km left of the first summit finish of the 2015 Tour de France to win in La Pierre-Saint-Martin. BBC Sport©s Matt Slater remarked this was a devastating win for Froome and Team Sky, with Grand Tour champions and challengers scattered all over the road up to La Pierre-Saint-Martin.

  • Worldteams Profiles
    KEY RIDER BIOS | WORLDTEAMS PROFILES WORLDTEAMS AG2R LA MONDIALE (FRA) In the top flight for the past 24 years, the French squad shone once more at this year’s Tour de France, with Romain Bardet— who’ll be among the stars racing here in Canada—finishing second in the general classification. A season‐win total stuck at six has taken some of the shine off that success, but the fact remains that Vincent Lavenu’s team has been influential all season long. Founded in: 1992. Wins in 2016 (as of Aug. 22): 6 RIDERS TO WATCH Romain Bardet (FRA): Age 24, turned pro in 2012. Palmarès: 5 wins including two stages of the Tour de France. This season: 1 win; 2nd in the Tour de France, 2nd in the Critérium du Dauphiné, 2nd in the Tour of Oman. In 2016, this French climbing specialist continued his impressive rise to the higher echelons of world cycling, proving that he was one of the few men who could give Chris Froome a run for his money, both in the Critérium du Dauphiné and the Tour de France. Though tired after the Rio Olympics, he’ll be eager for end‐of‐season success in Canada, where he has done well in the past (5th in Montréal in 2014, and 7th last year). Alexis Vuillermoz (FRA): Age 28, turned pro in 2013. Palmarès: 5 wins including Stage 8 of the 2015 Tour de France. This season: 2nd in the GP de Plumelec, 3rd in the French National Championships. A series of crashes and health worries have kept his former mountain biking specialist from fulfilling the promise of his exciting 2015 season.

  • The 2020 Tour De France Will Be Won in the ITT, Not the Climbs
    The Outer Line The External Perspective On Pro Cycling The 2020https://www.theouterline.com Tour De France Will Be Won in the ITT, Not the Climbs The route for the 2020 Tour de France was recently unveiled. The initial takeaways seemed to be that it is a time trial-light affair that will tend to suit the pure climbers, and that its multiple mountain stages will somehow offer bite-sized, endless entertainment for the short-attention-span millennial audience. A closer look suggests that it probably won’t be that simple. The general consensus is that 2020 will be one for the climbers, as the race features a large number of mountain stages with a healthy dose of summit finishes, just one 36-kilometer individual time trial, and only a handful of stages for the sprinters. Also, as in 2019, there will be time bonuses at the finish and on select penultimate climbs. These characteristics seem likely to combine to create a race that will favor riders who can climb with the best, who can handle technical descents, and who can make split-second tactical decisions on the road, particularly in the event of crosswinds. The problem with this narrative is that it doesn’t really take into account two of the most defining trends of the modern grand tour – (1) world-class time trialists slimming down to extremely light weights in order to win grand tours or, more rarely, (2) natural climbers honing their TT craft to the point where they don’t lose significant time in the race against the clock.
