  • Altitude Sickness Sports Club Membership
    THE Yeovil Cycling Club October 2009 Altitude sickness The conclusion of the Evening Time Trial Series finished with the traditional dash up High Ham for the Hill Climb. We were joined by a number of other clubs, and some had just come from competing in a 25. One of them being last years champion, Tom Alliban, who choose to sit it out this year, although he was keen to offer advice to his fellow club members as they neared the top of the hill! The fastest Yeovil rider was Anthony Morris, which considering all the 'practice' he puts in each week on the Club Runs was no surprise. He was just 13 seconds behind the fastest man on the day, Rob Edgell of Somer Valley CC. Rob was followed by Chards' new protégé Sebastian Bayliss (15) and the man he has been giving a hard time to on their training runs, Rex Facey (but to give an old man his due Rex had just done the 25 in 58 minutes!). Hugo had to relinquish his club title but only by two seconds. It was good to see so many YCC riders competing, no matter how seriously they took it – going back for a bar end stopper which fell out half way up the hill might suggest a lack of serious commitment – (only joking Mike, especially as I was sat on the sidelines doing the hard bit of taking the pictures! –Ed). Thanks to everyone that has ridden, helped or contributed in any way to making it another great year for the TTs.

  • Racing in the 1940'S and 1950'S
    Racing in the 1940's and 1950's By Barrington Day As the title suggests this is about racing in the 1940's and 1950's, in fact we go back into history. It all started in the 1800’s, but it was in 1941 when a gentleman called Percy Stallard wanted to start Continental Road Racing on the open roads in this country, seems he was up against the proverbial Brick Wall. Percy Thornley Stallard (19 July 1909 – 11 August 2001) was an English racing cyclist, who reintroduced massed-start road racing on British roads in the 1940s. It was banned in the late 1800's by the NCU. Born in Wolverhampton, at his father's bicycle shop in Broad Street, Stallard became a member of the Wolverhampton Wheelers and was a keen competitor in cycle races, competing for Great Britain in international races during the 1930s, including three consecutive world championships (1933–1935). He was also a successful cycling coach and team Manager. Cycling was run by the NCU (National Cyclists Union), (see badge) They were totally against any Road Racing on the open roads. In fact it was on the 24th July 1894 when it finally came to a head. A 50mile Road Race was being held on The Great North Road, 50 starters plus any number of pacers that each rider could cajole into acting for them. F.T. Bidlake was going flat out, being paced by J.W.Stocks who was really winding it up, Arthur Ilsey the other pacer was just hanging on. When near the 57th milestone a horse and carriage idly approached, the lady driver panicked, swerved across the road, the three cyclists all crashed, their bikes ruined.

List of Members 2 HISTORY OF THE HEREFORD AND DISTRICT WHEELERS CYCLING CLUB Early Cycling in Herefordshire Although there is general agreement that the design of today’s bicycle is little different to some produced in the latter stages of the 19th century, there are many competitors claiming the final definition of what was called the safety machine. John Kemp Starley (1854-1901) was certainly in the forefront of these. By 1885 he had established the Rover – a triangular frame, 36 inch wheel at the front, 30 inch in the rear and a chain drive from a chain wheel to the rear hub. In September 1885 George Smith rode 100 miles in a little over seven hours five minutes on this bike. In the 1890s Starley established the Rover Cycle Company – the ancestor of the Rover Car Company. So our sport goes back a long way. Towards the end of the century cycle racing had become popular. The picture shows three racing machines on Edgar Street Football Ground (with Conningsby Hospital in the background) circa 1895; a Raleigh the mount of Edward Howell, the Raleigh agent for many years in Commercial Road; Harry Matthews with a R.

  • The Season Opens with Two Close Fought Races the Yeovil Cycling Club May 2008
    THE Yeovil Cycling Club May 2008 The season opens with two close fought races The Ham Hill and Pittards Road Races are the first major races of the season for a lot of riders. Both races were well subscribed with 80 riders contesting the shorter Pittards Road Race and 55 starting the Ham Hill. Both events went round the 15 mile circuit at a particularly quick pace this year. Leaving quite a number of riders falling off the back in the early laps. The Pittards averaged 24.8 mph whilst the higher category riders clocked an average of 26.2mph. The whole event was extremely well organised, as usual our thanks go to Shaun and his team of helpers. The five motorcycle marshals from the Welsh National Escort Group did a fantastic job controlling both the race and the traffic. Since we have started to use them for the road races we have had far less problems and drivers take the event far more seriously when they see 'official' escort riders. Both events saw a lot of attacking and strong riding, not only on the grinding drag up Coppits hill into Yeovil (pictured right) but all round the course. There were a couple of problems, one which resulted in a trip to Yeovil hospital for Tom Southam, but Hold the front page!! no serious damage. The other was when a After months of speculation and horse, complete with rider, was spooked by numerous rumours it has finally the bunch, fortunately again there were no happened.
