Round 6 of the Percy Stallard National Vets (over 40’s) road race series took place at Clitheroe ……a tough undulating 55mile race, Richard Binks got in a 10 man break early from a 60 rider field, but thought he had blown it when 4 broke away in last 10 mile….. left in the chasing group behind he never gave up and only just caught leaders in last 300yds, when he hit front immediately to win the sprint
2nd was Darran Otter - Rutand CC, 3rd ex pro Simon Day

Non more so than young Ben Kellet who took an excellent 2nd place in the Eric Biddulph Memorial Road Race at the weekend. The event was organised by Huddersfield Star Wheelers and was open to 3rd and 4th cat riders. Covering 53km of undulating terrain made even harder by the cold and wind Ben stayed in the front pack until he made a move to take to the front on the 3rd lap. Local cyclist Mark Buckingham and another cyclist went with him until near the end when Mark caught Ben. Still 2nd place was an excellent result for our Junior rider.
The Paul Milnes Cycles Summer Cyclo Cross Series race was held at a local High school, where young Wheeler Amira Mellor (11) rode. Amira took part in the Winter series and enjoyed it so decided to give this a go. She had a great ride to come in 3rd rider overall and first girl beaten only by the U12 Yorkshire champion Chris Barnes and an older rider from the U14’s. She is now looking forward to her next race a week on Wednesday.
The Wheelers weekly Sovereign 10 had to be shortened last week due to gas works on the road. This put the course at around 4.5 miles making it a hard short ride for the regulars who still took part. Results:-
First rider home was Carl Saint in a fantastic time of 9:19, Steve Robinson 10:09; Gavin Pilkington 10:16; Ben Kellet 10:27; Andrew Kerry 10:35; Mark Buckingham 10:35; Jack Penrice 10:43; Duncan Mellor 10:57; Andy Plowright 10:57; Nick Mannion 10:59; Rachael Mellor 11:01 (first lady); D. Longbottom 11:16; Ian Lindsey 11:32; John Corker 11:42; Trish Mellor 12:46; Deb Byram 13:08.

Posted in News, Photographs, Press, Results, Youth on the 5th April 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.
