Denso and Tern Cycles Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport No.1

Posted on 16/04/2025 by Dave Fletcher

A rare ‘float’ evening saw the newly renamed Denso and Tern Cycles Evening 10 Series by Wrekinsport off to a great start, with fast times all round, some keen competition in the Road Bike category, and a brand new season-long 2-Up competition added taking place at the same time. Back on the traditional Shawbirch – Cotwall Bank circuit after the opening of Crudgington roundabout, Tomos Hales set out a solid defence of his Series Championship with a superb effort of 21 minutes 39 seconds, with nearest challenger Jonathan Mills-Keeling of Aerologic RT 32 seconds back.

Hales opened up a lead of a solitary point by beating 2024’s silver medallist Oli Freeman, who stopped the watch on 22:34 in his first effort on the course after joining the club last year. Hales wasn’t the only rider looking to hold onto a Championship as Hayley Wells opened up her defence of the Women’s Series with a superb 23:47.

The Road Bike Series opened in some style with a solitary second splitting Rich Smith from Peter Jukes, with Smith making his first ever appearance in this contest stopping the watch on 25:48, and with visiting Scottish rider Hamish MacLean of Mussellborough RCC taking the Overall win in 24:13.

The change to facilitate the Denso and Tern Cycles 2-Up Series has been an adjustment to the points, with both formats available in almost all Wrekinsport 10 mile club events (but with the exception of the County level 2-Up week where a different handicap trophy is in play to Wrekinsport pairs, and SCCA County-level points are also at stake). Rider’s best 12 scores will count towards the destination of trophies in the solo Series, whereas the best 5 scores will count towards the new 2-Up Series. Dave Moore and Matt Price made the initial running, registering a time of 26:57.

Denso & Tern Cycles Evening 5 TT

Posted on 02/04/2025 by David Slater

Wednesday 2nd April 2025

The opening event of the Wrekinsport club calendar saw riders partake in a fast and furious five mile loop of Admaston – Rushmoor Lane and Allscott as Tomos Hales took a solid win – although his plan to challenge Henri Bedford’s 10 minute 9 second course record set in April 2021 didn’t quite work out. Hales was stymied by a stiff and chilly easterly wind that hampered riders on the long steady climb from Allscott to the finish, eventually completing the circuit in 10:44.

Hales’ nearest challenger was Oli Freeman, whose 11:25 was just two seconds ahead of Wrekinsport club mate Phil Roberts in a tight battle for an ‘each way’ placing; whilst best female was Hayley Wells in 12:13.

The Road Bike category was also keenly fought, with Rich Smith taking a solid win in 13:02, eight seconds ahead of Peter Jukes on his first competitive time trial on a Road Bike, which looks like a good omen for the coming season.

Wrekinsport to Organise SCCA “New” Hilly Time Trial

Posted on 12/02/2024 by David Slater

Wrekinsport are pleased to announce that we are the organising club for the SCCA event on 9th March. This time trail will be a 17 mile ‘Hilly’ event set on a new course this year. We’re hopeful that new route will attract a good field.

The start point will be on the B4380 (Atcham) from where the route will follow the road all the way up to the Jiggers bank roundabout and back. More information on the route and an event entry form can be found on the SCCA website.
