Cornish Cup Round 4

Wheal Velocity were proud to host the 4th round of the Cornish Cup.

The Cornish Cup is a season long cycling time trial series, participants have to be 12 years or over to take part, where points are allocated and aggerated over the season.

The series comprises of 10 time trial events over the 2024 season. These chosen events will be allocated Cornish Cup status. Two competitions run side by side, one for solo riders, the other for clubs/teams.

Points are gained at each event – 100 points for fastest in each category, Men, Women, Junior then 99 for 2nd fastest, 98 for 3rd fastest and so on down to 1 point.

The overall winner of each category will be the person, in each category, that accumulates the largest score from 6 events over the series.

Team prize at the end of the season will be calculated by taking the 3 highest scores from each club (from any category) from each of the 10 events – the winning team will be the one with the most points.

You do not need to ride all 10 events you will still be included in the overall points score.

Cornish Cup, Round 3.

Another Sunday, another go at the classic S6/10. 

For those who are not familiar with the delights of the S6/10, it's a code given to the 10 mile time trial on the road out of Ladock. Basically 5 miles to a roundabout and 5 miles back as fast as your little legs and chosen steed will take you. We you read that back it sound rubbish but it is in fact super good fun. 

The event was hosted by Kernow Racing Team and Wheal Velocity riders were well represented.

Andy, TT Bike, Vets, 00:24:50

SWXC Round 2, Woody's Bike Park. 28th of April

With a few days to reflex and recover from Woody's MTB XCO its still hard to pin point what made/makes this such a great event.  Its got that home event feel with both Woody's and WarVena encouraging Cornish riders across all age ranges. Its got a welcoming and down to earth feel about the café and organizers. Most of all its got the right mix of fun challenging/technical down hill and lung busting up hill sections.  Its no wonder the a national XCO round is coming to Woody's in June.

The above mentioned factors makes you want to raise your game. You can't help but get drawn in to pushing a bit harder on that down hill section. Our younger rides relished the opportunity to let rip. 

All the Wheal Velocity riders had a great time with good solid results from all.  It terms of stand out performance on the day its got to be hats of to both Brody and Charlie.  Some solid bike handling skills mixed with determination yielded ace results.   Mia and Elwood were steady away and both looking like their were enjoying themselves, those lumps and jumps are massive when you only have little legs.  Adults!? We all agreed it was a lot of fun but I think Stuart looked to be in control of his bike more often then Craig and myself. Well we best get working on our skills for the next event!

Remember to check out the calendar page to find MTB sessions for both youth academy on every other Saturday and adults on every other Thursday night.

Fibrefusion Presents the Wheal Jane Spring Cup

Race Report from 21st April

You only have to look at the pictures of the racing to see that Wheal Velocity Bike Club is doing something right. 

Bring together the right combination of competitive sprit, willingness to give it a go and a ton of keen volunteers and the result is a positive for all. Yes the new race schedule helped and lets be honest the sunshine makes for happy spectators and visiting riders.  

Its a great opportunity for everyone to gain some racing experience, which is hard to get without traveling out of Cornwall. We all know there is no magic short cut, the more you do the better you get, that could be dealing with nerves, getting your race tactics dilled in or just enjoying riding your bike and letting the results sort themselves out.

Amazing to see such a wide range of abilities, from riders entering their first race, experienced riders in the under 14's/under 16's honing their skills to elite riders giving racing tips to cat 1's

As always a massive thank you to all the volunteers, these events have to be set in motion a long way in advance. This organizational time is freely given by the few for the enjoyment of the many.  Thank you.

Team Launch 2024

Wheal Velocity Cycling Club saw the launch of their 2024 Youth Racing Team on Wed 3rd April at Macdonalds Farm near Padstow. 

This years team of Under 16 and Under 14 riders will be racing National and regional circuit races through the summer including The Youth British Championships at Cyclopark in July and the Hog Hill GP in Redbridge this month.

The Team would like to say a big thank you to all their supporters and sponsors including, 

FibreFusion, Wheal Jane Enterprise Park, Macdonalds Farm, Duchy Lettings, MY Motors, Redruth Charity Trust, Giant Helston and Clive Mitchell Cycles.

A special thank you to all the volunteers that work behind the scenes at Wheal Velocity Cycling Club. 


 

Road Race Team

Castle Combe and Pembrey

The Team had a big weekend over Easter with both the Castle Come Easter Classic and the Ride Flux GP at Pembrey Circuit.

Weather conditions were particularly challenging on Easter Friday at Castle Combe but all the WV riders rode well. 

A big up to Charlie Robinson for getting in a one man breakaway in the Open U12 race and a massive shout out to Naomi Hawkins who crashed in a last lap pile up going for the sprint! 

The day finished with the U16 Open race. Jed Claxton went off the front with 2 laps to go and held on for the win, great effort Jed! 

Round 1, Cornish Cup

The 10 mile time trial for all.

The 24th March at 08:00 was the time and date for my first every time trial (Simon 43 :) ).

I'll be honest my expectation was of funny bikes and even funnier shaped helmets.  The Cornish Cup and the organization of the event was a breath of fresh air.  Yes there were riders taking it to a very high level of performance but there was also a very good mix across abilities and gender taking part as well.  Great to see so many riders with so many different levels giving it a go.  A very welcoming and positive experience plus the cake afterwards made up for any energy loss.

The Wheal Velocity team had a good showing which also added to the positive vibes.

The results

Naomi, Female Youth, Cat Position 1st, 00:32:14

Andy, Vet Open TT Bike, Cat Position 11th, 00:24:52

Jeremy, Vet Open Road Bike, Cat Position, 4th, 00:26:18

Simon, Vet Open Road Bike, Cat Position, 6th, 00:28:01

Tony, Vet Open Road Bike, Cat Position, 10th 00:32:25

Westpoint Stage Race

Sunday 17th March was the first round of the youth series, and it was actually sunny! Much better than the hail we had last year for it. The South West Road Group have been really keen to support grass roots racing in the region and kindly agreed to use some funds to support youth races at Westpoint, which although fantastic, is expensive to use. It’s extremely important that the youth riders get to race on different circuits over the course of the year and so this is a great investment in the future of our sport.

This event saw many of our younger riders really show dominance in a good field of young racers. The day began with the under 8's race, this was the only age group with only one race, but it was a 20 minute race rather than the normal 15 minutes this age group is used to. Wheal Velocity rider Tristan had a cracking race where he lapped the field twice before taking the win. He is definitely ready to move up to under 10's next year! Next Wheal Velocity rider Elwood really got into the flow of using his clip in shoes properly and came in for a brilliant 2nd place. One of our youngest riders Freya, loved racing round and kept going right until the end giving us a 3rd in the under 8 girls.

For our under 10's and 12's there were 2,15 minute races where points were awarded to give overall positions for the day. Leo took part in his first road race ever in the under 10's group and he showed excellent perseverance to keep going and finish both races in style. Our under 12's showed a club head to head with Charlie and Zach making an exciting race to watch. Both had brilliant starts, with Charlie pushing forward into first off the line. Both boys were quite far ahead of the rest of the field in both races, and were so quick the commissaire missed them both times on the lap that was supposed to be 3 to go, meaning an extra lap was done on each race! Charlie took first on both races with Zach taking 2nd on both races too. This meant a 1, 2 position for the stage race for Wheal Velocity.

In the under 14/16's race there was one 40 min race and one 20 min race. We had Jowan taking part in the under 14's race as the only Wheal Velocity rider in this race. Jowan did a fantastic job of staying in the bunch throughout both races in what was a very strong field. He took 3rd overall for Wheal Velocity.

The day really showed the friendships that are made in the club, with everyone cheering the other riders on when they weren't racing themselves and fun in between races, with lots of adult reminders to fuel before your next race! Such a brilliant start to the youth series with Wheal Velocity riders in the top 3 throughout the age groups and lots of people showing great promise for the series ahead.

Grammercombe, Devon
Round 1 SWXC 

Grammercombe woods, just on the outskirts of Exeter, played host to the first round of the cross country MTB league.

With majority pine trees the morning sunshine dappled the woodland floor. Pine needles and moss gave way to a dry and flowing single track.

As the youth racing kicked off no one was looking at the trees!

Our under 8's did well with Mia coming 6th and Elwood picking up a 4th.

Brody back from fighting dragons put in another solid performance filling the 2nd step of the podium in the under 10's.

Charlie and new racer Zach handled the course well and came home with a 4th and 7th place finish in the under 12's. 

Both Charlie and Brody felt a little hard done by as they were both, separately, involved in a little bit of elbows out racing. No one is suggesting wrong doing and it is all part of racing but you do feel for them as there is less time in the youth racing to recover from these events.

Extra mention to Zach as this was his first race. He did really well even with a slight tech issue mid race. We are looking forward to seeing more racing for Zach. All the winter training is paying off. Well done Zach. 

On to the older riders and you just can't make this stuff up.  About 10 min to race time and the heavens opened.  The 90 ish riders were not deterred by a the weather.  Little did they know that it was going to be a mud fest once the hour thirty minutes were done.

Juniors were of first and Tom was in the mix.  Great to see Tom back but despite a good start the bike gods did not favor him and a flat back tyre forced a DNF.

I will be honest and say I am still getting my head around the MTB gridding system so I am not sure if Stuart, our MTB coach, went in Sport, Expert or Elite but he came 8th.

Craig and I had a good time in the Vets to round out the Wheal Velocity/War Vena team.

Craig came in 20th and I (Simon) scored a surprise 8th place.

We all agreed that we can't wait to get invoiced with round 2 which is at Woody's Bike Park.

Brody's Big Day

Big day on the road today for myself and Brody as we made the trip upto snowy Wales for the 1st round of the Welsh mtb season with some friends from the sw.

Travelling that far for a race can be a gamble if it all goes wrong, but it definitely didn't.. 

The ground with all the recent rain made it very muddy and we had to wash the bike after practice session ! 

Brody had his biggest ever field with 27 boys ! So this would make for great racing experience and with some very fast competition! 

Whistle went, he had a good start and wasn't to far off the front group, his bike handling skills really paid off today riding sections lots couldn't... he brought home a solid 4th, an unreachable gap to the top 3 but a big gap to 5th, a solid race with lots of experience gained.

Mid Devon South West Youth Season Opener, 2 Stage Race, Torbay Velopark

Well Done to all the riders who braved a soggy and grey February morning to travel to the Velopark for the season opener on Valentines Day. 

 

A fabulous day of multi-stage racing was put on by Rob and Andy from MDCC that saw plenty of WVCC riders taking to the circuit for the first time this year.

 

The day started with U16/U14 Prologue time trials where our very own Jed took joint first place and brothers Oliver & Lucas each posted extremely competitive times that indicated how much work both have put in over the winter. Aria gave an equally good account of herself in the competitive girls category once again showing the hard work that she has put in over the winter.

 

Next up was the ultra competitive under 12 under 10 category where Brody raced on the road for the first time in his career, and Charlie made the difficult step up to under Twelves. Both boys did us proud with Charlie winning his category by going under 3 minutes and Brody riding a super TT to go a second off 3rd place!

 

Last but not least for stage one, was the ever fabulous under eight category where we had Oscar, Tristan and Elwood representing us. All boys once again made us super proud with a 1, 2, 3 in that order!

 

Next for the second stages was the serious business of crit racing. First up was the under 16 under 14 short race with Jed narrowly missing the intermediate sprint and final victory. Once again Oliver and Lucas proved super strong in their categories and Aria equally great in the girls.

 

The under Twelves, and under tens, took to the circuit for the next race, where Charlie got away solo from the start and TT’d himself to victory! Brody again showed his class and even in his first road race ever, showed his ultra competitive instinct to stick in the bunch comfortably.

 

Oscar rode a dominant race in the under 8 category, racing to victory in style with Tristan showing just what a fabulous rider he is to take second place and Elwood enjoying third place to seal the 1,2,3 for WVCC!

 

Last up were the under 16 and under 14 stage three race. This time a longer 40 minute race. Right from the start, a small group broke away that included Jed and Oliver. The lead group stayed away for the whole race, showing some incredibly strong riding at this early stage in the season. Once again, Jed narrowly missed victory in the sprint and Oliver came in fourth. Lucas also settled into a bunch and rode superbly well in challenging conditions to seal third place overall in his category - a fantastic effort from him.

 

Overall, podiums for the day included Jed in second place under 16, Lucas in third place. Under 14, Charlie, winning the under 12 category, Oscar winning the under eight category with Tristan in second, and Elwood in third overall. The rest of the team were literally seconds off podium places showing just what a super bunch they are. Well done to all riders and thank you to MDCC for a fantastic season opener!

New Coaching Times

PLEASE NOTE : after yesterday's (10th Feb 2024) club AGM meeting we discussed the coaching format, with an uptake in attendance of sometimes up to 30 riders which is absolutely fantastic ! So please keep it up, the younger children can find the 2 hour session with a midway break to be long and the advanced riders don't always get the level of coaching they require due to vast range in children and abilities we now have.

We have decided to split the sessions to allow us to give the children the attention, quality and time we feel they deserve, allowing us to focus more on that groups ability to help them progress further.

From next week the format will be :

Advanced riders 13:30 - 14:30

Beginners/improvers 15:00 - 16:00

The reason for advanced riders going first is it will allow them to cross over with the older race team training session, so they can see what the potential there is for themselves if they wish to as the grow into the club.

The 30 min break allows us to finish the 1st session and discuss what we've learnt and start the next session explaining what we aim to achieve that day.

The shorter hour session will allow us to give a more solid session keeping attention spans throughout.

We believe these changes will help the club coaches deliver sessions to a higher standard and help the children improve.

Road and off road sessions will alternate each week, Saturday 17th will be road and fortnightly there from and offroad will be fortnightly from 24th February.

Soggy Bottom Series Round 2, Newnham Park.

A great day of racing for the Wheal Velocity XC racing crew!

The venue was the second round of the soggy bottom series.

Elwood and Mia represented us in the Under 8's, pedalling with great determination and both achieved a 3rd place in their categories.

The Under 10's/12 race next and Brody and Charlie came 2nd in their respective age categories after some nail biting battles for the podium places. 

All of the kids were frozen after the race but really enjoyed it, the older ones loved the choice of the A/B line. (The A line is technically more challenging but often shorter)

Next up the adults then had a go, chairman Craig and all round legend Si [Editor, stop it your making me blush!] had a crack at the race and both said it was the hardest race they've done yet, but can't wait for the next lot of XC... 

The next race is at the same venue in February, see the "Calendar" page for details. The first race of the South West League is in March at Grammarcombe Woods, Devon.

Wheal Velocity have 2 rounds of the South West League to host when it's warmer in June and August. Anyone that wants to join in with the racing or the helping please let us know!

A message from the chairman…

As 2023 draws to a close, it gives me great pride to look back on another fabulous year for Wheal Velocity with plenty of highlights - too many for me to mention in one post but here are a few of my 2023 best bits

1. Hosting our first XC Mountain Bike race.

Although we are certainly an extremely experienced team when it comes to organising road & crit races, we have never had the experience and manpower to put on a MTB race before. With the additional challenges of course building and huge numbers racing, it is something that we have wanted to do for a long time and finally took the plunge this year.

Coach Cy had the vision early on and with the incredible support from our hosts The Wheal Jane Group, was able to get the ball rolling on our dream of a race course. Just as if it was written in the stars we then gained some incredible new members in Stu Harris and the kids. Stu has a very solid background in XC racing including being a regional series winner in his category and took up the challenge of course design and build along with Cy & I.

Several months of work on and off the course with Jeannie providing endless hours of expertise in race organisation on top of the build and we were finally able to hold an absolutely smashing event, with our best numbers post pandemic proving that our adventures into off road are definitely worth the efforts of the whole team and are an exciting development for the club. I was extremely proud to work with Jenny Bolsom on making this event a platform for supporting women’s mountain biking. It was wonderful to be part of breaking boundaries and making this side of the sport more accessible than ever. We look forward to continuing to support Jenny in her tireless work to promote and facilitate all cycling for women and girls.

My eternal thanks to Cy, Stu, Jeannie and all the amazing volunteers who made this possible. Especially to those young WV riders who have taken up the challenge of off road with awesome results!

2. The Carnon Classic incorporating the SW Youth Stage Racing Champs

Two titans of the Cornish cycling community Anthony Green of Kernow Racing Team and Jon Butt of Penzance Wheelers have for the last 3 years organised one of Cornwall’s premier road cycling events, the Carnon Classic along with an army of volunteers. An event that has raised lots of money for good causes over the years. This year we were invited to be part of the festival and to be a beneficiary of some of the money raised.

Once more with the amazing support of The Wheal Jane Group we were able to host Saturday Crit races that enabled the event to become Cornwall’s biggest and best stage race for all ages. The event was far too big to sum up here but needless to say, Jeannie once again stepped up to the mark and along with Anthony and Jon made the most incredible festival of road cycling in Cornwall since the Tour of Britain a reality. The Club had some awesome results with many of our riders dominating the youth categories and taking the wins!

Incredible thanks to Anthony, Jon and the Penzance Wheelers for the incredible support and contribution that this event made to youth cycling in Cornwall

3. The achievements of the WV Racing Team, made possible through our sponsors and supporters;

The Wheal Jane Group

Fibrefusion Ltd

Duchy Lettings

McDonald’s Farm

Wadebridge Cycles

MY Motors

Serious racing costs money along with blood, sweat and tears - that is not a secret. We exist as a club to get kids on bikes and those that want to, to the highest level competition they can achieve. The contributions of our supporters have enabled us to get riders to more and bigger events than ever before with some outstanding results coming from the whole team over the year.

Mark Claxton has once again put countless hours In behind the scenes and has managed the team to national level races, including the BC Youth Inter-regional Champs, Youth National Circuit races and plenty more. With the awesome coaching support of Tony Rowell, Jon Roodhouse and Mark Stacey the team is becoming a recognised player on the youth stage - I am incredibly proud of our young riders and their achievements. I look forward to seeing our new team riders at the 2024 presentation and offer my eternal gratitude to our sponsors and supporters who make this possible!

4. Adult members and national races!

We have always traditionally been a youth club with some adult members riding TT and socially, however this year took the decision to promote a fully inclusive, adult membership. I have been proud to see the WV Jersey on the back of some great men & women this year both on the road and in the mud. One crit race saw 8 adult WV jerseys on the start line - a record for us!

The crowning achievement for our adult racers this year has to be Simon Dodd, who joined us from our awesome sponsor Fibrefusion this year. Simon became the first adult male WV racer to compete in a national cyclocross race this year, absolutely smashing it out of the park with a top ten result in the ultra competitive V40 category. Simon has been a huge inspiration and supporter of the club including the adult section this year and I am very grateful for his hard work!

These are a few of my favourite moments of the year, however there are so many more wonderful moments and incredible people I could list and thank! Take it from me - if you have contributed anything at any point this year, I along with the rest of the club am extremely grateful. Please know that your contribution makes youth cycling possible in our county and that is the greatest gift!

A special thanks must go to the Wheal Jane Group. Without the awesome support of our hosts at Wheal Jane, none of this would be possible at all. It gives me great hope for the future to know that a business is willing to put themselves at the very heart of a community by providing facilities and support for young people to engage with sport! Wheal Jane is a special place and The Wheal Jane Group is run by some very special people! Thank you 

Lastly to our youth riders, you are the reason and inspiration for everything we do! Your hard work and dedication makes it all worth while - I can’t wait to see you all next year.

Thanks for a great 2023 and here’s to a Happy New Year

SWCX Round 8. The South West Regional Championships!

The final. For many its been a long month of bike cleaning and trips up the A30. Exeter Wheelers put on a cracking race at Escot which was well attended by our club.  Being the last race gave a little more gravitas to proceedings but our youth rides fully enjoyed the experience and produced great results.  The call was "more next year please" as we now move into MTB XC session.
