Saturday Rides for All Abilities
From Saturday 10th July 2010 HVW are organising short leg-stretcher rides for all abilities. It’s an opportunity for all members to meet on an informal basis and to ride with non-member cyclists who are keen to get out and about on Saturday mornings. They will last approximately 2 hours or so and are not officially lead or coached.
Wheelers Ride Out On Saturday Mornings
Holme Valley Wheelers are inviting cyclists of all levels to join them on Saturday mornings for a ride into the countryside around Holmfirth.
The rides are designed to attract riders of all levels to stretch their legs for a couple of hours and enjoy the beautiful countryside around the Holme Valley.
The rides leave The Sycamore public house car park adjacent to Holmfirth High School at 9.30am Saturday mornings and last about 2 hours.
The first one left The Sycamore public house adjacent Holmfirth High School at 9.30am and went through Wooldale, Scholes, Hade Edge, Winscar Reservoir (see photo attached), Dunford Bridge, Carlecoates, Victoria, Maythorn Cross, Five Lane Ends, Fulstone and finished at New Mill Church. It was a lovely morning and everyone had a good time. We had members from 9 years old to 50 plus participating, but we are keen to extend an invitation to everyone in the area to come and join us and enjoy both the beauty of our local countryside and the health benefits of regular riding.
Participation is free, we ride at a moderate pace and all we ask is that riders are competent on the road and their bikes are road worthy. Children will need to be accompanied by an adult.
Club spokesman John Cullaigh said “We started these rides last week with circular routes around Winscar Reservoir and Royd Moor Hill. We thought it would be a good idea to organise rides for all abilities in a less formal context than the officially lead or coached sessions that currently exist for specific ages and cycling categories. John Cullaigh will indicate the route in advance via e-mail each week and can be contacted on 07817 458630 for additional information.

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.
