PREVIEW: VTTA National 15-Mile Championship

There is a big field of riders heading for North Yorkshire on Sunday in pursuit of the VTTA National 15-Mile Championship crown.
Last year’s fastest rider on age-adjusted time, Jen Clegg (Team Bottrill-Nopinz) is ineligible for the title so the 2026 female crown looks likely to go to Liz Ball (Edinburgh RC), Deb Hutson-Lumb (Legato Racing Team), Susan Semple (Legato RT) and Joanna Cebrat (360 cycling) as well as several others.
In the open event Legato RT field a strong team with Mike Lythgoe, Steven Loraine and Alastair Semple among their numbers. Meanwhile Russ Richardson (Zurbaran Racing) could challenge for the win, while prolific national title holder Adam Duggleby (ADDFORM VLV) riders on a trike.
And in the tandem competition, Mary Corbett and Norman Harvey of Sotonia CC make the long journey north to compete, and perhaps break a record or two?
The event is organised by Jymmy Trevor and VTTA Yorkshire, and uses the A168 starting near Arkendale and heading out and back between Boroughbridge and Walshford.
A report from this event will be published shortly afterwards on the VTTA website and Facebook.

RUNNERS LOOK AFTER THOSE HAMSTRINGS 🏃‍♂️

With the Great North Run coming up this weekend, this week is about arriving at the start line feeling ready not trying to make big changes at the last minute.

The glutes and hamstrings work together to help control and produce movement through the hip, and they take plenty of load during running.

In this session, we’re using passive stretching through the glutes and hamstrings to work on mobility and help reduce that feeling of tightness.

If you’re running this weekend:

• Keep moving and stay mobile
• Don’t suddenly introduce aggressive stretching or new exercises
• Prioritise sleep, hydration and recovery
• Give your body time to recover from your final training sessions
• If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it

And most importantly nothing new on race day.

Good luck to everyone taking part in the Great North Run this weekend! 👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Move better. Recover properly. Perform consistently.

🏁 **THAT’S A WRAP ! **🏁

Great to see you all at the final event of our 2026 Time Trial Series! 🙌

The Gods were definitely with us tonight! After having two events cancelled at the last minute because of road works, we were starting to wonder if the cancellation curse was going to strike again! 😬

We waited patiently, watching the skies and wondering whether we’d have to make the dreaded call to cancel. The forecast promised the rain would stop… and, for once, it delivered! 🙏

The rain cleared, the temperature lifted and we ended up with a dry, warm evening — perfect conditions for our final TT of the year. 🚴‍♀️💨
A HUGE thank you to everyone who took part and supported us throughout the series, and especially for your patience while we battled road works and the occasional force of nature! 😂

Our event community is growing, and it really is a pleasure spending time with you all — not just out on the course, but afterwards at our post-event social at Leadout Clubhouse where we had a fantastic Wahoo Bolt GPS head unit, as our main spot prize kindly donated by Dodworth — amongst many other prizes up for grabs.

Congratulations to our main prize winner, ’s very own Dobson! 🏆👏

📊 Results and leaderboards will be posted shortly on Facebook.

For now, here are a few pictures from a brilliant final night. 📸

We can’t wait to see you all again next year!
BUT… if you really can’t wait that long for another Zurbaran event, you don’t have to! 😉

⛰️ Check out our upcoming Hill Climb!

It’s always an absolute BELTER! 🔥
