June '09 Racing update - Club 25 Championships The Festival RC 25 mile TT champs were held as part of the Farnham RC event on the H25/8 course at Bentley. 5 club members
took to the start line in a high quality full field of 120.
1st Colin McDermott 56:45 May '09 Last weekend saw very successful rides for Barry and Colin McDermott. Firstly, in the Southern Counties CU 10 Mile TT which incorporated the Festival RC 10 Mile Championship, Barry scorched round in 22:41 to notch 12th overall and win the Club championship ahead of Mark Bixley riding under the club's banner for the first time in many years, who finished in 23:26. The following day Colin rode the Hounslow and District Wheelers 100 Mile TT on the Bentley course. With an excellent performance that netted him 5th place overall, he managed to squeeze under the 4 hour barrier to register 3:59:51 which is a new Personal Best and a Club record. Well done to both of them. May '09 Racing update Festival riders have been busy on the race circuit in the last few weeks. The fifth event of the LVRC MSTINA series was
held in Haslemere at the weekend and netted a fourth place in the A category for Colin McDermott and sixth place in the C
category for Colin Bateman. These results keep the boys well up in the overall series placings - Colin B now leading the C cat
series and Colin M in third place in the A cats. So well done to the pair of them.
April '09 Another win for Colin Colin McDermott has been building on his recent form to clinch another win on the road in the LVRC Epsom Spring Classic held on the Henfold Hill circuit. After clipping away with a couple of other riders less than halfway though the race, the group maintained their gap and Colin sprinted away to the win. Following a third place in the series prologue Time Trial, Colin now holds joint first place overall in the MSTINA Jersey competition. April '09
The Festival RC(through the efforts of Colin McDermott and Colin Bateman) promoted the early Surrey League event on the Kirdford circuit. Although I haven't got a race review, I have posted the full result on the 2009 Results page or you can click here.
With the season now rapidly gaining momentum, Festival members will be in action once again - and we'll be following their
progress. February '09 Hell of a club run - report by Trevor Keenan Three members of the Festival took part in the Catford CC's "Hell of the Ashdown" Sportive on the 1st Feb. Colin McDermott, James
Graham and myself met up for the start in Biggin Hill in sub zero temperatures. The 110km route through Kent towards
the Ashdown Forest was due to take in some of the biggest climbs in the South East and through some stunning scenery.
