The Wheelers promoted their own open races based around Boroughbridge this weekend. Both the 25 mile time trial and the 50 mile were based around the A168. The weather for the 25 on the Saturday afternoon was not good but due to the good course it had attracted a full field of riders (120 men) plus 12 women and 3 Juniors.
Ben Kellet our up and coming Junior rider was off no. 1 and rode an excellent race to finish well in front of his nearest rival in an amazing time of 56.08 - this demonstrates Bens potential for the future and reflects the hard work and many miles he has put into training.
Disaster struck during the ladies race with an experienced lady being knocked off as she rode along the rode by a driver who was turning right and “did not see her”. It was a bad accident and the air ambulance had to be called. We all wish the lady cyclist the very best in her recovery. This meant the race had to be stopped. Our own Samantha Mannion started before the accident and did finish the race in a good time of 1 hour 7 minutes and 59 seconds.
The 50 on the Sunday was organised by Samantha and the rest of the Wheelers all volunteering as marshalls, time keepers etc. Just 3 Wheelers rode this early season 50, Andrew Kerry recording the fastest time for the Wheelers and a new PB of 2:05:09 followed closely by Rachael Mellor - who also recorded a PB in 2:05:20. 3rd Wheeler home but not on top form due to his recent hard road race schedule, was Richard Binks in 2:09:30. Richard had recently come in 6th in the Percy Stallard National Vets Road Race, 7th in the Glossop hilly TT and an excellent 3rd in the Tour of Abberleys - a 3 day vets race in 4 stages based in the Midlands. He was 4th out of 90 in the prologue, 2nd in Stage 2, 6th in stage 3 and pulled back some placings in the hilly stage 4 giving him 5th and 3rd overall.

Posted in Events, News, Results, Youth on the 13th March 2009Dinner & Presentation
Holme Valley Wheelers held their annual club dinner in the Old Bridge Hotel on Saturday evening. We were honoured this year to have Tanya Arnold from Look North as our guest speaker. She kept us entertained with tales of her life as a roving sports commentator. She had recently met Ed Clancy, Olympic gold medal team pursuit winner who originated from the wheelers, and told us about how laid back he still I, despite his almost celebrity status.
Samantha Mannion welcomed Tanya to the Holme Valley as well as other guests who had travelled many miles to be there. After a superb meal Christine Tiffany, club secretary began the awards ceremony with Tanya presenting the numerous medals and trophies to the winners. Notably were the numerous club records that were broke this year - the men’s & women’s 10 mile time trial by Steve Robinson and Rachael Mellor, the women’s 50 and 100 mile time trial by Rachael Mellor and the women’s team 10 mile time trial by Samantha Mannion, Trish Griffin and Rachael Mellor.
The Youth squad once again did themselves proud with Ben Kellet taking the Road Race Champions Shield. Jack Beardsell won the Juvenille 10 mile time trial league and the 10 mile championship for the 3 fastest 10’s on average speed on the Sovereign course. Jacob Scott won the Youth 5 mile time trial championship and Athena Mellor was awarded the Juvenile Lady Champion for the fastest club 10 mile time trial. Ben and Athena were also awarded with their Yorkshire medals for events won earlier in the year making them both Yorkshire champions at different events. The Open 25 mile champion was Richard Hey he also took the 25-mile championship with an average speed of 26.422 mph.
The Sovereign 10 league, which runs every Wednesday evening from May to September, was won by Steve Rimmer, with Samantha Mannion taking the ladies title. The fastest 10 of the season on the Sovereign course was won by Carl Saint for the men, Rachael Mellor for the ladies and Ben Kellet for the Juveniles. The Best All Rounder competition for the Juveniles was won by Ben Kellet with an average speed of 22.5mph for three 10 mile time trials. Rachael Mellor won the Ladies BAR with rides in 10, 25 and 50 miles recording an average speed of 24.7mph, this year she also won the Middle distance championship because due to the bad weather all summer no men rode an 100 miles time trial, Rachael was fortunate to get a good day on her first ever 100 mile race and won the Mal Battye cup for 25, 50 and 100 mile with an average speed of 23.13mph.
The club Hill climb was once again won by Julian Rank. Rachael Mellor gave thanks on behalf of the Prize winners thanking all volunteers throughout the year for their excellent efforts.
The Wheelers continues to grow in numbers and is a Go Ride club with 3 coaches.
