The AGM is on Monday 13th December 2010 at Stone
Cross. It is your Club so please come and enjoy the
event. Don’t forget to bring with you your nicely
cleaned trophies for Graham as they need to be
engraved.
Once again I have done my best to pack the Newsletter
with various articles and results. I wish to thank all those
Members who have sent me articles for inclusion.
Stan Nash’s bequest
We have had some suggestions and these are being
considered. More news next time
ESCA Points Competition
Congratulations to Iain Brogden for being the highest
placed rider not hailing from Lewes Wanderers. Iain
finished 4th, having opted not to contest the hill climb,
which was the final event of the season.
Catford Hill Climb and BLRC lunch
Alan Symonds has reported on both these enjoyable
events.
The Catford was enjoyable, both for the
spectators and also, with a somewhat different
perspective, the contestants. And of course the lunch was
enjoyed by all.
Audax calendar
I have included a list of local Audax events for the
coming few months, up to the end of February. Good
conditioning training for the season ahead, so some say!

Clubruns Report by Richard Thomas
These have been ongoing now for 6 weeks. Your Hon Sec has ventured out on these as his “training” for the
ESCA Reliability Trial which we completed on 21st November (see separate report).
I missed the first one on 10th October, led by Iain, which is probably just as well. Kevin Burton and I met
Stuart Davis at Polegate on his return and they had been on quite a long (67 mile) and fast ride. I also
missed the second ride but did make the third on 24 th October and subsequent rides apart from last Sunday
when I was doing an Audax. I have done a short account of each of those I have ridden below.
24th October
Seven of us met at Polegate, Club members Dave Cox, Rob Rickson, Clive Richardson, Tony Murphy, Kris
Singh and me, and ex Rover Graeme Hadlow, on a MTB as someone had stolen his road bike from where he

works. We had a flat ride led by Dave, through Upper Dicker, Ripe and Laughton to Ringmer via the
Broyle before retracing, then going on to Chilley Farm, Rickney for refreshments before venturing to
Bexhill into a headwind and then turning for home. 58 miles (92km) at 15mph (24km/hr) average riding
speed. A pleasant dry ride.
31st October
Six this week, Iain joined Dave, Rob, Clive, Tony and me as we ventured north to the Garden Centre at
Mark Cross. We “enjoyed” climbing Newick Lane into Mayfield then took the “Trodgers” minor road
through to Mark Cross and refreshments at the Garden Centre. The return journey, led by Rob, took us
down the main road to Horam, then over “Grovel Hill” to Haisham, Magham Down, Rickney and Normans
Bay before returning via Pevensey Bay and Westham. Rain at start then sunny. 58 miles, coincidentally, at
just under 15mph (14.88) riding speed due to the hills on the way to Mark Cross.
7th November
Nine out this week, the core riders (Dave, Rob, Clive, Tony and me) were joined by Kevin Burton, Matt
Woods, Adam Ford and “guest rider” Jack Priddle. Adam turned for home near Cowbeech as he has not
done a lot of riding recently, and the remaining eight pushed on through Rushlake Green to Woods Corner,
with Jack and Matt tearing the legs off the rest of us on the hills. We then rode through Brightling and down
to Netherfield and Battle,for a café stop, before going on to Cooden, Bexhill and Hastings to view the
burned out pier. We then had a “gentle” ride back to Eastbourne. It was sunny with a strong NE wind
making it feel colder. We did 56 miles (89km) at an average of nearly 15mph (23.9km/hr) riding speed.
14th November
The magnificent seven (Dave, Rob, Clive, Tony, Kevin, Adam and me) endured a very wet ride to Laughton
and Ringmer, then on the way back to Laughton Clive punctured and let us go on to the dryness of the bus
shelter at Laughton, opposite the Roebuck, whilst Clive repaired his puncture. Whilst we were waiting there
several Lewes Wanderers arrived at the Roebuck for their Anniversary bash. Suitably repaired, Clive joined
us and we squelched on to Chilley Farm for some warming refreshments. Ironically, it stopped raining at
that point. We then thought better of going any further east so headed home via Pevensey. Just as well as
soon after we got home the heavens opened again. Just 68km today at 15.4mph (24.7km/hr) riding speed
21st November 2010
ESCA Reliability Trial
With 159 riders entered, this was a well supported promotion by Pete Roberts and In Gear. The route was
challenging but not excruciating. There were a couple of hills though. We were in Group 3 (of 25 riders), 9
of us (Iain, Peter Moon, Andy Eaton, Tony, Emma, Rob, Clive, Kevin, and me) with a similar number of
Lewes Wanderers due to DNS’s. We were one of the 4 groups (86 riders in all) aiming to hit the 4hr 15min
target for the 54 miles. Off we went, sent on our way by Mick Kilby, and were soon on our own as the
Lewes went straight on instead of turning left just north of East Hoathly. Andy was with them but turned to
chase after us, soon joining up. A brisk pace took us up towards Cross in Hand where we swung left and
onto Mayfield. It then got a bit lumpy via Coggins Mill Road and Brinkers Lane (judged to be the hardest
climb of the ride) which took us up to the B2099 followed by a right turn to the first control in Lymden
Lane. The climb up to Burwash was not as hard as I seemed to remember it from previous sorties, and we
were soon regrouping to descend Bell Alley Road and the climb up to Brightling. We ended up getting a bit
strung out on the climb and on the subsequent route to Bodle Street, when I went off the back of Iain and
Peter on the descent from Bodle Street before the climb to Joes Lane. We then turned right and sped along
the A271 to the Boship Rbt and the 2nd check in Coldharbour Road. Four of us (Iain, Peter, Andy and me)
arrived there soon to be joined by Kevin. Iain and Peter were eager to keep going so the four of us set off
with Kevin in no mans land between the two groups. I hung on to the other three nearly to Laughton before
my legs gave out. I struggled on to the end, arriving with a few minutes to spare before the 4 hour “early”
finish. By that time Peter, Iain, Kevin and Andy were all there and we handed in our tickets to Mick Kilby
before retiring to the Hall for refreshments. The rest of our group got back in time despite Tony suffering an
unmentionable near to the finish. We all enjoyed the event. I rode back to Eastbourne with Kevin and Clive

rode back on his own. Iain and Peter both rode out to the start and I presume rode back. And it did not

Turbo Sessions
These have now been going for five weeks and have been well attended. Graham has been doing a great job
making us all suffer!!!
Catford Hillclimb by Alan Symonds
I went to the Catford Hill Climb this year.
Alway's a fun event, well attended as usual but
with the addition of a Food & Drinks Trailer.
The weather was good which helped,
however the absence of ERCC jersey's was
noted, which I found a bit surprising.
Last time I rode it was in 1958 when I was
in the Thornton Road Club. I scraped up
there in 2 Mins 29 2/5 secs. in old language.
Don’t know where I came exactly but I am
sure someone can do better than that next
year !!. Interestingly, although the winning
time has improved, by my calculation I
would have been somewhere around half
way down the results sheet if I could have
managed the same time this year (fat chance).
-4-
So here is my challenge to current Rovers.
If any Rover can beat my time I will put up the
following. Starting at 2mins.30secs a £1.00 for every 5
secs that person takes off down to 2 mins plus £5.00
for getting under 2mins. That's £6.00 down to 2 mins
plus £5.00 if under giving a possible total of £11.00. If
you can win the event as well you can go and do the
Bec in the afternoon and come back with a fistful of
money !!!!!.
To put you in the mood I also took these pictures of
riders “enjoying” themselves on the climb this year.
Here are some facts about the event:
A past winner of this event was Max Pendleton, a name that should sound familiar, being Victoria's father.
He established a new record of 1min 55secs in 1972 and did his last climb in 2009 at 65 years of age.
The record is held by Phil Mason who 27 years ago made it in 1min 47.6secs at the age of 46.
(Take note Iain and others. Plenty of time yet!)
This year there was also an additional inducement in the form of a pair of Condor wheels worth £275.00 for
anyone breaking the record.
Note for your diaries. The 2011 date for this event is 9th October. You can enter on line at
www.catford.co.uk from 1st August to 30th September

B.L.R.C. (British League of Racing Cyclists) Lunch by Alan Symonds
The B.L.R.C. meet a couple of times a year to
reminisce about times gone by. A bit like the
coffee mornings but a little more upmarket as
these lunch meetings are held at Donnatelo’s
Italian Restaurant in the Lanes at Brighton.
Donnatelo’s provides a good meal at a very
reasonable price when you choose from the set
menu.
Apart from the food there is that certain
enjoyable atmosphere about traditional Italian
restaurants as Joanna, one of our waitresses
portray’s.
For those who may not know, the BLRC was
the thorn in the NCU’s side before they
eventually joined forces in 1959 to become the
BCF (British Cycling Federation) and the
forerunner of British Cycling. They were the
prime mover in establishing road racing in this
country under the leadership of Percy
Stallard.In its 15 years they promoted the best
part of 10.000 day events as well as the Lincoln Grand Prix, Brighton/Glasgow, The Milk Race and the Tour
of Britain among others. There is plenty of information about the League on the web if you wish to follow it
up.
Of course it is inevitable that like old soldiers we will fade away but meanwhile we can still dream of the old
day’s and the racing we did irrespective of our performances. The most recent meeting took place on the 19 th
November and saw 12 members arrive for lunch. Eastbourne Rovers members Dave Dunbar and Alan
Symonds were there
both being ex Leaguers
while Stu Greenway
another one, was unable
to attend this particular
lunch. Both Dave and
Stu did a lot of road
racing with Dave being
lucky enough to get a
posting in Belgium for
his National Service
where he quickly learnt
that if you didn’t blast
off from the gun you
were out of the back of
the bunch and I believe
it hasn’t changed much.
Stu has ridden in
various multi stage
races including and
Dave has also done his
share.

Others attending were ; Eric Cloke, Derek Cover, Jim Butcher, Roy Rix, Graham Francis, Carlo Monti,
Brian Hutton who was a
successful rider in his day
and his reports on the sport
are regularly printed in the
press not forgetting our two
stalwarts Maggie and Jane
for the Ladies.
Roy Rix and Brian Hutton
The next meeting will be in
Feb 2011 and if any old
Leaguers would like to join
us please send the club an
email which will be
forwarded onto Dave
Dunbar.

Lewes Wanderers Open 30 mile TT 24th April 2011
Rob Pelham sent this information to us.
“I'd like to take this early opportunity to bring to your attention the NEW date for 2011 of the Lewes
Wanderers CC Open 30 mile Time Trial.
The event will take place on Sunday 24th April 2011 on the G30/88 course, based around the A22 between
Maresfield & Boship. The HQ will be at the East Hoathly Sports Pavilion.
-9-
The 2011 running of the event will be a qualifying round of the SCA SPOCO competition. It will also be
used by the VTTA Surrey / Sussex group for their annual 30 mile Championship.
You may be interested to know that the 2011 Lewes Wanderers CC Open will be the only 30 mile TT in the
whole London South district. As such I would like to invite you to hold your own Club 30 Championships
within this event (If you don't currently have a 'Club 30 Champs', feel free to start one).
Finally, as you will be aware the National 24hr Championship will be held in the London South district in
2011. Did you know that the whole of the Lewes Wanderers Open 30 course features in the National 24hr.
Some of the National 24hr roads are ONLY used in the LWCC Open 30.
Attached is a flyer containing the basic information for the event. Should you have any further questions
please feel free to contact me.

Points Competition Results 2010
Individual Points Competition:
Rob Pelham is the unequivocal winner of the 2010 ESCA points competition – despite holding the lead throughout the
majority of the season, Rob found himself level with team mate Nick Dwyer to go head to head in the final event.
Although he got the better of Rob in five of the nine qualifying events, Firle Beacon proved a climb too high for Nick,
as Rob powered his way to a well deserved, but gracious victory. Club mate Peter Morris takes the third position
while last year’s runner up, Iain Brogden, resisted the lure of the hill climb, to settle for fourth place. Fellow
Wanderers, Tom Glandfield and Johan Stegers, share the limelight to complete the top five.

28th November 2010
Pyecombe-Billingshurst-Pyecombe (PBP) 107km
I was a bit dubious about the weather but went anyway. I left home around 7:30am for the 9am start at
Pyecombe. I had to scrape thick frost off the windscreen and once I set off the temperature on the car gauge
was -40C. Fortunately, when I got to the start at Pyecombe the temperature had risen to -20C, positively
tropical! Soon after I got there Peter Price and Tony Gale of the Lewes Wanderers arrived and said that Ian
Landless would not be coming as there was snow in Seaford! Ian was not the only one to stay under the
duvet as some 28 riders did not turn up (out of the 56 entries). Undaunted, we three set off at just before the
official 9am start, as we were getting cold waiting, and immediately had to walk (organiser’s instruction!)
across the footbridge to get to the A281 Henfield road. We soon turned right off this road towards
Wickswood Country Club and through Shermanbury before we got to the first checkpoint at Partridge
Green, where Bob McHardy was handing out the stickers for the Brevet Card. Struggling on in the cold, the
chill factor knocking the temperature to well below freezing, we passed through Littleworth, Maplehurst,
Nuthurst and Monks Gate before reaching
Mannings Heath, then climbing to Pease
Pottage (incidentally via the only finger
post which has the direction “Peas
Pottage”). Tony and Peter were knocking
out a fair pace as I struggled to keep up and
we were all pleased to reach Dave
Hudson’s control. Dave has purchased an
oven (see right at Handcross) so we had
warm food at his control, very nice it was
too. This is my back, to prove I was there.
36km covered already, as we set off back
up to Pease Pottage and onto Billingshurst
via Rowhook and Ellens Green (in essence
the reverse route of Dave Hudson’s
Uppertea 200km Audax). We got to the
Control at Budgens by 12:36pm, over
70km covered at an average riding speed of
nearly 24km/hr (15mph). I bought a packet
of plain crisps as proof (via the time on the
receipt) that we were there, I find a salty
snack ideal on these rides. Only some
35km left, but they were quite tough. A
short 12km ride from Billingshurst got us
to Ashington.
We then took the old road down from
Ashington to the main road to Steyning
(A283). We then went through Steyning (via an information control in the village, so we could not cheat
and go straight down the main road) to Bramber and then on towards Henfield. I was a little surprised to be
told by Peter, as we climbed up the A2037 towards Henfield, that this was on the night circuit of next year’s
Nat 24hr TT. I thought that it would be a real struggle for me “racing” up there all night. We got to nearly
the top of the climb (the 24hr course goes straight on over the brow) before turning right through to
Edburton then onto Fulking and Poynings. This bit was quite lumpy and my legs hurt. We then had to
climb the rise to Pyecombe on A 281 then up the really steep cycle path to the footbridge, where we were
required to walk across, and then ride a few hundred metres to Dave’s finish control and his oven, working
yet again to warm us up.
We got there just before 2:30pm, 5½ hours after leaving. Our ride time was 4hrs 35 mins at an average of
23.6km/hr for 108.45km (as per my computer). It was nice to get back into my warm car!
