Calshot Track Session
A group of 10 club members took up the chance to have a Track Cycling session down at Calshot Velodrome recently. The session taken by Malcolm Holmes was an introduction to tarck cycling along with a few drills for the more experienced members. By the end of the session all members were taking part in all the drills. It was a fantastic evening and the club will be looking to do more in the future. Keep your eyes peeled, or send an email in to register your interest. Below is a few photos from the session: <img width="150" height="150" src="https://sramcc additional reading.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG_2911-150×150.jpg” class=”attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail” alt=”” />
Sainsbury’s School Games – Sheffield
Our young cyclist Harriet Dodd has been off on her travels once again, this time representing the South Region at the Sainsbury’s School Games in Sheffield. Over 200 cyclists from across the UK gathered with hundreds of athletes to compete in the Olympic style event, which also held the traditional opening and closing ceremonies. Friday saw them compete in fast, short street sprints and crits, Saturday was the turn of individual and team time trials and Sunday was the turn of the road race (40km for girls and 60km for boys) in testing conditions of wind and rain. Harriet performed well finishing 3rd in her sprint and 6th in the team time trial. The South region were placed 11th overall, a great weekend’s racing by all.

Swindon RC – Road Race
Sunday the 25th was the Swindon Road Club Cotswold Road Race had a full field of 60 riders from an original entry of over 140. The 2/3/4 category race also incorporated a round of the Cotswold Cycle Racing League (this was the 6th of 7 rounds). The race left Brinkworth House in cool and overcast conditions with a slight drizzle falling. Thankfully the drizzle fizzled and the roads dried out making for generally good racing conditions. The peloton stayed together until the second time up Callow Hill when the race split and a group of seven riders gained a gap of around 40 seconds, a second group of about nine riders followed, then the remains of the peloton some 30 seconds further behind. By the final lap the 2 front groups had merged and at the bell they had a 60 second advantage over the chasing peloton. Over the final…
TORQ 12:12
So the 25th of August was the TORQ 12:12 epic MTB race and we had 2 great teams in it – 1 3 man team with Peter Dixon-Clarke, Lee Johnson and Garrick McMullin and one 4 man team with Jonathan Fearne, Oli Woods, Kevin Harrington and Mike! It was a great day with many teams being pro or semi pro so the competition was on! Each team experienced some mechanicals but at the end the 3 man team managed to get 10th and the 4 man team 12th in their categories!! Such a great result for SRAM and a great day for all so well done to all you guys! Bring on next year. Here’s a few photos from the event, gallery coming soon!
