Lisa Martin raced the regionals this weekend with another impressive podium placing!

Lisa reports: ‘It was encouraging to see a lot of women on our start line and for the first time we had a ‘stand alone’ regional race which was ‘women only’ which included the juniors, seniors and us vets. Torbay Velo Park is situated on the English Riviera and its a purpose built cycling venue, the organisers Mid Devon Cycling Club had put on an excellent course.
The first and only real technical bit was straight after the short tarmac start. I was pretty surprised that I came out unscathed having floated passed several women on the cambered slippery sections to get myself near the front of the race, maybe last weekends National Trophy race was still in my legs! The course is mainly flat with lots of technical tight turns and steep short banks to negotiate - A third of the way through the race Vicky had caught me, we spend a good lap swapping turns where I’d use my cornering technique to overtake. Towards the latter part of the race she pulled a small gap which I found really difficult to close even when she slid out on the technical section. I finished second in the regional champs 10’s of seconds behind her. We have a really healthy competition between us which is really quite challenging! Well done Vicky and the rest of the women competitors!’

My second weekend of CX racing this year started on Friday afternoon with a 7 hour drive to the midlands in monsoon conditions - at least I knew the course would be soft and didn’t have to worry so much about the damage a crash would do to my wrist.
It had stopped raining by Saturday morning so the first few races were on soft, but not too cut up conditions. The Masters 50 race was 3 races and 2 practice periods in, and the course was getting pretty muddy, rutted and slippery - classic CX conditions.

Fast start down a swampy straight with the inevitable crash before we’d crossed the start line (something we have in common with the U16 boys apparently - Hannah Collingridge). I avoided that, and being sandwiched against the railings and just pedalled until I blew. Spent the rest of the race trying to remember how to keep a CX bike upright in ever changing porridge while still maintaining speed - neither of which I managed particularly successfully. Bike handling is definitely a perishable skill and I really haven’t had the practice this season. Most of the course was ridable, just two short, steep banks that needed to be run - thanks to CycloCrossRacer for the new studs.
Slowly lost a few places as the race progressed, but nothing major. More importantly, I had a good race. Legs are improving, skills are improving and wrist flex is coming back steadily. I’m much happier, at the moment, having a good race and a poor result than getting the points but not feeling comfortable, or safe.

I spent the afternoon with Craig Robinson from Wheal Velocity Cycle Club and some of the U14 South West riders helping them get ready for their race, and being pit crew. A good ride by both Charlies, neither of whom came last (I checked).

Thanks to Lisa Pip Martin and Jez Martin for support and some of the photos, and to Man Down Media for the others.

Round 4 at Newnham Park Plymouth was the first proper winter Cross conditions this season with a wet slippery technical track. After my practice lap and set to go on the start line I noticed my front tyre had lost its air so I was forced to pit twice on the first lap to get this sorted. Thanks to Tracey and Roy in the pits! I descended like a lunatic on the traverse of terror, many were gingerly negotiating this section but I thought it was a lot of fun. After swapping places several times with the lead lady she finally got the better of me at the finish. I’m happy with the second step especially after loosing lots of places on the first lap. The tyre must have burped on the practice lap - that’s Cyclo Cross for you!

Another great race Lisa!

Another podium for Lisa this weekend!!

I rode in R3 of the SWCX league at Wadebridge.

The Wadebridge event was another dry fast course. You had to be on your A game for the uphill grass start as this quickly led into a downhill gravel descent with a hotdog turn at the bottom and another steep kicker up. There were 20 women starters so I was mid pack here. I overtook a few ladies on the uphill kicker. Mid lap involved a huge spiral on a slope with a dead turn in the centre. Tyre choice and pressure were key on this section! The finale was then a series of tight turns up and down grassy banks. The course was amazing and the racing was pretty close between the top 3 vet 50 women. Top spot was not to be and had to settle for 3rd today. These league events are so friendly particularly amongst the women as we encourage each other to do the best you can on the day. Roll on the mud!!!

The legs certainly felt as though they’d had several weeks off since returning from the Gravel Nationals in Yorkshire! After my usual quick start I found myself slipping back through the field on the super dry fast course, very unusual for Redruth! I managed to maintain threshold and hung on to my first position in my age category to stand proudly on the top step. I’m hoping by next week my CX legs will have returned!

Well done Lisa!

We had three riders in action over the weekend, taking on the National XCO Championships!

All three had excellent races, with Lisa taking 3rd place in the V55-59 category 🥳🥳, Will took 21st place in the V50-59 category, and Sam placed just off the podium in 4th.

Read their race reports below 👇

"Fellow teammate Will suggested I had nothing to lose by entering the National Championships.

After a terrifying course recce the day before, I lined up with the best in the country. I felt sick with nerves, so my personal expectations were to finish the race without damaging myself on the technical sections.

I rode 2 of the 3 A lines, even managing to tangle myself with a stake on the final lap. Somehow I freed up my crank and carried on to the finish.

I was as surprised as everyone else to discover I’d got 3rd in my age category and stood on a National podium with a big fat bronze medal hanging round my neck! It must have been the Doombar the evening before which did the trick!” - Lisa

“Half this course is super fun; the longs drags back up, not so much. A really tough race for me, lost a few places off the line and then clawed them back through the rest of the race. Eventually got past all my main competitors and improved my National Points ranking by 4 places.

Would have loved to have pushed harder, but I’d damaged the ligaments in my knee during the week. Support from all the South West riders really kept my head in the game. Great to be at such a big race on home territory.” - Will

"I came into this race ready to battle two of the South West's fastest—Tom and Corey—for bragging rights. We pushed the pace early, fighting for 2nd and 3rd after the leader broke away. The heat took a toll on Corey, and Tom's climbing sealed his edge, leaving me to finish strong on my own. Proud to take 4th racing up a category."

Thanks for the support from , & to for hosting the champs
