Message from CA Chairman Graeme Hatcher

Dear All, it would appear an opportune moment to remind all riders of the rules regarding overtaking in time trials, these regulations state that: -

“Competitors must ride entirely alone and unassisted and not ride in company or take shelter (commonly known as drafting) from other riders or vehicles. A competitor overtaking another must pass without receiving or giving shelter. The onus of avoiding company riding shall be upon the rider overtaken.

Footnote:

Competitors must ride entirely alone and unassisted and not ride in company or take shelter (commonly known as drafting) from another rider or vehicles.

If you should catch up another rider you should try to pass as quickly as possible and must not in any other circumstances ride close behind so that you take shelter from the wind.

You must set your own pace and not use another rider as a pace maker. The onus on avoiding company riding shall be on the rider overtaken.

 Nor is it in order to ride alongside and even to ride a few metres behind for any appreciable distance. In the spirit of the sport, caught riders should not disturb the performance of the rider catching them by re-passing and/or riding closely behind them, except when they can sustain that move. This is generally considered to mean that the caught rider should allow a reasonable gap to develop of some 30 to 50 yards/metres.”

 
 Marie Curie Etape Caledonia
The happy Wheelers trio of Christine and Peter O'Shea and Colin Falconer have been on their travels again. This time a bit closer to home. They rode the 81 mile Marie Curie Etape Caledonia on Sunday in, thankfully, reasonable weather (not too warm, but dry, unlike here at home and in the Lakes where Gianni Epifani was riding the Fred Whitton. The trio joined over 4,000 other participants in this closed road event (one of three in the Marie Curie Etape series). Unlike other sportives this event is less gruelling with only 1,950 ish metres of climbing most of that in one climb up Schiellion. The route started and finished in Pitlochry taking the riders out to the end of Loch Rannoch, before returning back along the loch, up over the main climb and back to Pitlochry. A undulating course. This event is highly recommended to any level of rider. You might think that an average of 13 mph is too much for you, but with the help of other of similar ability, the speed soon increases. Christine completed the route in 4:48:52 (2042 overall, 91st women and 10th in her age group), Peter did 4:19:58 (1010 overall and 127 in his age group) and Colin completed the ride in 4:53:59 (2208 overall and 513 in his age group). Great day out and you get back in time for lunch. There two other events in the series, Etape Pennines and Etape Mercia. Marie Curie cancer care benefit from the entries as well as some riders raising money in sponsorship. One rider raised more than £7,000 for Marie Curie Cancer care.

The next instalment will be on 7 July where Peter and Colin will be riding L'Etape du Tour near Annecy. Peter is also going to ride La Marmotte on 6 July, so fingers crossed that he can complete both rides.

Christian wins tour of the Middle
Christian Varley, riding in his British Premier Calendar Node4 team colours, won today’s Tour of the Middle Road Race.

The second round of the Black Grace Cowley Sponsored road race series saw 50+ riders take to the start line. The vast difference in capability, within the group, became apparent with an early split in the peloton on the first climb over Stugadoo.

Darren Bell, Tom Black, Chris Whorral, Andrew Roche and Varley tried to make an early break on the second lap around the undulating course but were soon reeled in by the chasing peloton. As the race progressed more and more were shelled out of the leading group leaving approx. 8 men with a chance of taking the honors.

Bell made a second bid to break away from the front group to be brought back by Varley, after just regaining contact from suffering a puncture, with a lull in the group Christian then showed off his form by attacking on the penultimate climb over the Stugadoo.

Varley held off the strong chase, by the remaining lead group, to take the top step, with Bell and Andrew Roche completing the podium.

Van Vlaanderen
Three Wheelers rode the Ronde van Vlaanderen on 30th March. Peter and Christine O'Shea with Colin Falconer joined the 16,000 riders. Christine and Colin rode the 133kms event that took in all but one of the climbs on the Pave completing the route in just under 7 hours. Peter rode the long event of 259kms, completing the route in 11hrs and 38 mins. The weather was much the same as here, although the temperature did notrise above freezing all day start @ -4.5'C. There was a significant north easterly wind. Combined, the wind and temperature made it tough enough. Add the cobbled sections of climbing, down hill and flat the event is some experience. You have to grip your bars in a death grip when on the cobbles. Great day out, brilliant atmosphere and the feed stations were pretty good.

YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU!
Isle of Man Youth Tour 3rd, 4th & 5th May

We have been requested by the organisers of the Isle of Man Youth Tour, to organise the marshalling of one of the races.   At the recent committee meeting, it was decided to help with the Saturday morning race, around the Peel circuit.

We ask for willing volunteers.  

You will get the opportunity to watch the stars of the future race over the testing "switchback" course.  Previous years have provided top quality racing from these keen and eager cyclists.  One recent competitor showed his commitment, style and class, during his time in the leading group in this years Tour of Flanders.

During your morning marshalling, you will ensure the riders get to race in a safe conditions.  You get to give something back to the local race scene whilst representing your club and the Island cycling community.

We appreciate that Saturday mornings are precious and you would expect to be concentrating on your own cycling.  You will still have your Saturday afternoon, all of Sunday and the bonus of a bank holiday on the Monday!

Please confirm to Helen Wolstencroft, your commitment to help.  Email would be preferable. 

Many thanks in anticipation of your assistance with this matter!!!

Message from Richard Fletcher

My man at the top of Ballamoar (Mike Gardner) tells me that his power is off, he can’t open his back door because of a drift, the roads are closed through to Ballig, Cronk-y-voddy is impassable and it’s still snowing there!

Hence, I am taking the decision now to postpone Sunday’s Fletcher Trophy TT. A new date will be announced in the next week or so, after I have liaised with the Club secretaries. Anyone who has entered will then have the choice of retaining their entry or a refund.

Any queries, feel free to call me on 498849.

Batman wins Roy Killey
 
 
Robin Garry (MVW) riding in Bikestyle colours piped Motogps' Cal Crutchlow to the line in this morning cold but dry Roy Killey road race.

Manx Viking Wheeler Leon Mazzone finished a fine 3rd to complete the podium. Laura Wasley also MVW finished first Lady.

The first round of the Black Grace Cowley road race series saw 56 riders of a mixed ability take to the start line.

Splits across the peloton started to appear early on in the race with the majority of the field coming back together by mid distance.

Several attempts for the line came in quick succession on the final lap of the Jurby course, with no one able to pull away from the pack, a mass bunch gallop let Rob sprint to victory holding off quick finishing Crutchlow.

Thank you to the organisers and all the volunteers that make these events possible

Island Games Selection
The selection standard for the 2013 Bermuda IIG team has now been agreed by the Cycling Association Performance Group (PG). Those members of the PG seeking selection have not been involved with this process.

The PG are more than aware of the increasing standard of competition at the games and the squad selected will reflect this challenge. That said the PG are confident that those riders selected to represent the Island will be capable of challenging for Gold medals in all three disciplines - Time Trial, Road Race & Criterium.

 The four on Island consideration events are:

> March 17 Roy Killey Memorial RR
> March 24 Fletcher Trophy TT
> April 7 Tour of the West RR
> April 21 Rob Roher 25
Riders unable to compete in these events due to team commitments - either National squad or own contracted teams will still be available for selection. Performance in these higher standard events will be considered.

Selection will not be a points based exercise. TT results will give a direct comparison, however in RR events the riders overall performance rather than result will be key. The PG will beconsidering amongst others:

> a. Tactical awareness.
> b. Team dynamics - willingness to sacrifice own performance for that of the team.
> c. Riders must be competent to compete in all three disciplines.

The previously successful youth policy remains applicable.

Riders seeking selection do so understanding that they face a significant financial commitment - currently in excess of £700.
All riders wishing to be considered for the team must do so by contacting Gary Hinds at
 iomcycling@hotmail.co.uk by the 15 March. Any riders failing to do so will not be considered.
