My life cycling

It all started as an 80’s bmx kid. Spending many a weekend trying new tricks and taking the train to Southsea skate park. Then came college and cycling became just a mode of transport for a poor student.

Not sure how I became what my wife calls a ‘spandex warrior’ as getting past baggy shorts took some persuasion, but approaching the big 4-0, and sports like football and squash were taking their toll. Try cycling they said, an non contact sport that won’t leave you crippled for days after (provided you don’t fall off).

After a few months riding around local routes generally getting lost, I became curious about the local cycling club. So one Sunday I rode down to Baddesley cross roads and got chatting to another Sotonia newcomer… Things escalated quickly from there and every Sunday was soon filled with adventures around Hampshire, Wiltshire and Sussex… wherever the ride leader took us. It was certainly incentive not to get dropped in the middle of nowhere with no idea how to get home.

Then there was the kit. One bike followed another (who knew you needed more than one?) The point where a £300 bike seemed expensive to a £3,000 one being a bit cheap is lost on me right now but it happened!

Tried road racing, and wasn’t very good at it. Discovered cyclocross and was hooked by the muddy winter battles, (and more kit of course).

Six years later and the pastime has definitely become more of a way of life with Sotonia. Helping a new road race team find it’s feet and then go on to find such success has made me very proud of our club as has the challenge of training as a youth coach to then see a new generation get the cycling bug… can’t wait to see what’s next!

Sotonia duo take on the London Six Day

04_london_6day_red_walters_ben_hame_crop

Racing in front of a capacity crowd at the Olympic velodrome sounds like a crazy dream right? Well that's exactly what young Sotonia riders, Ben Hames and Red Walters did last month when Six Day racing came to London for the 1878 Cup - the pair making their debuts in the under-21 competition that consisted of a 40km Madison event over three nights of high octane track racing. The duo told us all about their incredible experience...

Ben Hames:

"I've not seen you guys before, are you new?"
"Yeah, it’s our first time. Got any tips?"

That was our first proper conversation with our opposition. It was pretty funny to watch his jaw drop to my response. But it was true. We didn't have a clue what to expect or what we were doing, let alone how we got through the entry in the first place.
We bluffed our way through the rider meeting, gratefully accepted our free kit and headed into the velodrome. A spectacular place it was too. We found a competitor’s pen and set up, remaining amazed at everything that was going on around us; even the free bottled and coconut water made us feel spoilt!

A quick practice on the track was a privilege in itself, being able to ride such a smooth and quick track; however this didn't distract from the fact that we would be racing on it with no race experience whatsoever.

 

Day one

The race director gave us the cue to head to the track and as we rolled around we tried to discuss as many tactics and plans as we could, however this would all prove fairly pointless, on night one anyway. To give you an idea of our situation we didn't even consider who would be riding the opening stretch and decided on it as we were split up.

I held the rail with my fellow racers slightly tense, not knowing what to expect, my mind rushed at a hundred miles an hour, so much so that the whistle blow took me by surprise. Great start! I was at the back of the pack. The starting gun sounded and it was on. At least it was for the other, more experience U21 national champions we were against. The adrenaline helped me through the first laps to our hand sling, something we had practised and felt comfortable enough with. But these practice sessions were on the empty outdoor track at Bournemouth, not at the velodrome that hosted the exciting action of the 2012 Olympics in front of 5000+ people. I think it’s fair to say the success rate wasn't as high as we would have liked it to be. Turn after turn the dry aired velodrome took its toll, the race leaders took 14 laps on us, which was plastered on the large screens around the track and also on the paper that was handed to us on day two, which was hastily screwed up and removed from our minds. That first day was a baptism of fire. However, meeting Mark and Brad that evening left me felling inspired to improve my performance for the remainder of the competition.

 

Day two

The second day would be different. Having watched the big boys show us how it was done after our race on day one, I made note of some key tips, the most important of which was the length of the turn we should have been taking, which was about a third of the length that we were taking.

Whilst waiting for Red outside the changing room Cav walked past: "Alright mate, how's it going?" He said.

I nearly burst with excitement. Not only had I met my cycling hero and pestered him for a signature, but he recognised and remembered me. AND STARTED TALKING TO ME!

"Not too bad thanks and yourself? Great racing last night!" I replied.
"Thanks. Good luck for tonight."

We knew what to expect on day two so planned accordingly, energy gels consumed and plenty of water taken on board beforehand. My start was smoother, getting in the bunch from the off. I felt pretty good. Legs were feeling strong and I was keeping up with ease. That was until the madness of the change overs kicked in.

Riders were being flung left, right and centre. Some slowing up on the inside and others accelerated hard over the top. I saw Red eagerly awaiting the first sling of the race, but there was no hope of me actually getting near him to execute it. Again out the back I went as fresh legs churned the front of the group, it would seem a repeat of yesterday was about to occur. We stayed strong though, riding hard and fast in our own little race. Even made some overtakes as we hammered round which lifted confidence back up to a peak level. A big shock was when I was slung in at the back of the group, but ended up powering past it! From the back to near the front in one fowl swoop. But when you don't belong there, they don't half let you know about it. That stint of awesome was short lived and backwards I went.

 

Day three

We received the results from the previous night’s action, and following some quick maths, determined that we were only one lap behind our nearest rivals! We were amazed that our first attempt left us only just behind the experienced and competent riders. This gave us great determination to make this final ride the best of the three. And it was. Our changes were smooth and successful and again the occasional overtake boosted our spirits further. When the race came to a close a big feeling of relief and of pride overcame me. Relief that it was all done and the torture was over and pride that we had made it without showing ourselves up. Afterwards we heard news of another pair pulling out due to a crash causing injury, which is never nice to hear, but it meant we weren't last. That was victory enough for us.

Heads held high we left the velodrome in the knowledge that our first ever track race was a success especially as it was at the top level. I think it’s safe to say that we will both treasure this experience for years to come, the time two rookies took on the best and came out joyous and proud on the other side."

 

Red Walters:

"It started with a simple post from Ben asking if anyone from Sotonia would want to sign up for the U21 Cup at the London 6 Day. I'd never ridden track before but I love to race and it sounded like a cool experience. What a coincidence, Ben has a spare bike! When we signed up, I didn't really have any expectations as we were Cat 3 and 2 and the ad was looking for "Elite riders".

A couple months before the event however, we were kindly emailed our acceptance at which point I thought I'd better learn how to ride track! A couple of training sessions at Portsmouth and a final practice at Bournemouth later, we were ready. We had "mastered" the hand sling and I'd taught myself that when you try to stop pedalling on a track bike, things go terribly wrong!

At the event, it was brilliant to go in with zero pressure, so we got to enjoy it even more. Considering the other riders were incredibly experienced and some had gone to the world champs, I'm really pleased with our result. It was so cool to race around the Olympic velodrome with the lights and music; the crowd was awesome - I look forward to doing more!

Wessex Cyclocross round 9, Sotonia - Report

sotonia_cx_11-16_seniors

Pat yourselves on the back Sotonia for hosting a brilliant Cyclocross event on Sunday week! Around 500 people went home with big smiles on their faces, including an outstanding showing of 31 club racers among the 343 competitors.

We couldn’t have done it without the support of club members giving up so much of their time to help marshal, set-up, take down, serve cakes, DJ, cheer and generally help out. We even had BBC South film the action for broadcast sometime soon!

There were 13 of our youth riders in the U10 race alone, with George Connell finishing a whisker away from the podium in 4th and Max Darnton 12th in the U12s, battling back after an early crash.

In the v40 race: Jon Hall (17th), Phil Connell (26th), Simon Guard (32nd). v50s: Jon Dudley (16th), Simon Fitzjohn (31st). The womens race featured two of our ladies: Gemma Wilks (13th) and Emma Harley in her first cross race (30th).

For the senior race, Tom Budden was again up with the leaders, eventually finishing 9th, Phil Wilks (21st), Tobie Charlton (22nd), Matt Dixon (28th), Phil Godfrey (29th), Ant Gritton (36th), Ben Scott-Munden (42nd), Ben Darnton (46th), Niels Langhout (51st).

Well done everyone!

Record day of cross racing at Fairthorne

u10s_fareham_cx_23-10-16

It was record day of cross racing for Sotonia at Fairthorne Manor for round 7 of Wessex League on Sunday as an incredible 27 club racers aged 5 to 64 made sure the Sotonia gazebo and bike rack were full all day. The course was on the bumpy side but that didn’t stop some good tussles especially between our 8 seniors. Tom Budden finished just two seconds off 6th with his favourite 8th place and Jon Hall shrugged off last weeks injury with 4th in the v40s. Phil Wilks, Phil Godfrey, Matt Dixon, and cx newbie Ant Gritton all riding strongly too. Chairman Jon Dudley earning 18th in the v50s. Not forgetting Gemma Wilks, (one of four Wilks family racers) 12th in the women's race. Brilliant work everyone!

u12s_fareham_cx_23-10-16

And what a fantastic turnout from our youth - in the U10's we had no less than nine taking part, another record for Sotonia. George Connell faired best with a well taken 7th place only a few seconds from 5th place out of 52 young starters. Felix Darnton coming in next of our youngsters with a great 10th place closely followed by Aaron Hay, a great ride for his first time. The U12's had Max Darnton and Louis Kirk representing Sotonia. With both starting near the back of the grid not the best of starts was expected, but boy did they both put on a show. Slowly picking their way through the back markers to finish 6th and 11th.

A big well done to all.

September race news round-up

September is where the end of the road season meets the start of the cyclocross season and our team has been busy both on and off-road. It’s been an incredibly successful year for our road team, standing 7th in the Southern region rankings on 295 points (up from 11th in 2015) with an impressive 10 rider promotions. Our youth team is also growing fast so the future is bright for team Sotonia...    

VC Venta Summer Criterium 4

In the last Winchester Criterium of the year, Josh Bakker added his name to the strong club results on the Park & Ride circuit this season with a fine win and promotion in the 4th cat race with George Karta coming 5th.

Bournemouth Jubilee Wheelers Road Race

The 56 mile 2/3/4 road race on the tough 5.7 mile Lulworth Castle circuit saw James Peckham finish 14th place in the bunch sprint, and Ben Scott-Munden 25th.

Wessex Cyclocross round 1, Newbury

The cross season kicked off on September 18th with hosts Newbury Road Club at Mary Hare School and its usual mix of a big hill, woods and fast grassland. Previous years have brought ever increasing rider numbers and this was no different with a whopping 445 across all categories.

u12s_wessex_cx1_mary_hare_9-2016

Sotonia had 7 young riders in the U12 race who all thoroughly enjoyed the racing. The combined v40 and junior race topped out with 110 starters including Phil Connell, Jez Hart and newcomer Jon Hall for Sotonia. Jon quickly showed his potential by storming to 15th place from the back of the grid. Jez and Phil finishing 31st and 32nd. In the v50 race (61 starters) John Phillips was 30th and Simon FitzJohn 50th.

Tom Budden started where he left off last season, finishing a strong 9th in the seniors (85 starters), Tobie Charlton 17th, Craig Hay (28), Phil Godfrey (31), Ben Darnton (48).

Wessex Cyclocross round 2, Swindon

There were top rides by our seniors at Swindon last weekend - Tom Budden had a great start and was lying 3rd before a heavy fall on an off-camber corner led to an eventual 6th place finish. Tobie Charlton also had a great race only slightly marred by a clash on the penultimate corner that put an end to his rear mech to get 13th. There were good rides also by Craig Hay (27th), Phil Godfrey (36th), and Ben Darnton (44th).

wessex_cx2_swindon_25-9-16-13

Another stormer also from cross newcomer, Jon Hall in the V40 race who made the most of good gridding this week after round 1 to finish 7th in his category and Phil Connell (21st v40) - we can see Tobie and Jon cracking the top 10s in the near future! :)

August Race News round-up

As the summer of racing heads towards its conclusion, we look back on the last month's remarkable results for team Sotonia…

Tom goes solo at Sotonia Summer Criterium 2

Kicking off the month, it was a great day’s racing for team Sotonia at the Winchester Park and Ride circuit for our final Summer Criterium of the year. Ride of the day went to Tom Budden - soloing off the front from the start to lap the field in the 4th cats.  A great ride too by Ben Hames - winning the sprint and second place. Andy MacKay was a well deserved second place in the cat 3 race with Red Walters 6th and Jon Hall 7th. There was a top turnout by our youth riders too. Thanks also to race sponsors The Hub Cycleworks for their generous support.

Red impresses at Portsmouth Evening Circuits

The return of the Mountbatten circuit has meant a happy hunting ground for junior, Red Walters with 3rd places in rounds 8 and 11 to secure promotion to 2nd category - pretty amazing in his first season of road racing! Congratulations Red!

Andy nabs promotion at Torbay Velo Park Crit

Andy MacKay also won a well deserved promotion to second Category after getting into a five man break in Torbay and racing to the win.

 

Ed wins at VC Venta Criterium 3

There was a decent points haul for Sotonia at the third VC Venta Park & Ride Crits on 14th August. In the 4th cat race, Ben Hames impressed with a second place and promotion. George Karta came 10th and Tobie Charlton 14th.

In the 3rds, Ed Slot went one better - soloing off the front to take the win. The lead group containing three Sotonia riders was led largely by Tom Budden and Ed. After a few efforts to split things up, Ed eased away with a quarter of the race remaining with Red Walters taking third in the bunch sprint. Ed followed this fine result with a third place at Thruxton a week later to gain his second cat promotion as well.

Podium for Tom in Southern XC series

Last weekend saw the final round of the Southern XC Cross Country Mountain Bike series at Checkendon with Tom Budden and Tobie Charlton featuring at the sharp end in the lead group of the Sport category race on the twisting woodland course. Tom sealed an impressive second place in the series, finishing second on the day with Tobie 4th (9th in series).

July Race News Round-up

Another month of summer flown by and another flurry of great results for our racers, Here’s a run down of how we’ve been getting on recently…

VC Venta Criterium 2

This weekend, Ed Slot took another step closer to promotion with a strong ride and second place in the 3rd cat race at the Winchester circuit. A front group of around 11 riders formed early on containing all three Sotonia riders (Ed Slot, Jon Hall and Red Walters). Despite a few digs they stayed together until a bit of chaos in the finale as a lapped group got in the way of the final charge at the top bend on the last lap but Ed recovered well, just being pipped on the line, with Red 6th and Jon 7th.

Venta_Crit_24.7.16_3rds_17_Ed_Slot_web
There was more great riding by Sotonia youth in the morning races. Well done to them all, great rides by Ollie winning the U8 race and Issy making the podium too. A fantastic first ride in the U8s for Oscar, not only riding his first race but riding all the way from Winchester to compete, chapeau.

Sotonia Summer Road Race

Our annual summer road race featured seven Sotonia racers on the start line and James Peckham kicked things off with an early two man break on the first lap. Recent heavy rain left the circuit susceptible to punctures of which there were plenty, keeping neutral service very busy. The pace was high and a tough selection ensured a much reduced main group of just 19 riders. Punctures put paid to Andy Mackay and Phil Wilks’ chances and James unfortunately crashed out in the later stages in a touch of wheels on one of the climbs, leaving Ed Slot to finish in the main group.

Circuit race successes

With the return of the Mountbatten track to the racing calendar, James Peckham cemented a well earned promotion to 2nd cat with a fine 2nd place in the 3rd cat race in the Portsmouth Evening Circuits series. which was swiftly followed by his first points in the higher category as he took 8th place in the E12 race that followed! Sotonia junior, Red Walters continues his swift progression and has gained 5th and 10th places in the 3rds at Portsmouth this month.

In the Bournemouth Cycleworks Summer Road Race, Ed Slot finished 13th as he continues to rack up promising results.

At round 9 of the Castle Combe Summer Series, Ben Scott Munden continued his successful first season in second cat racing with a 4th place in the E/1/2 race. Meanwhile at the Thruxton circuit, Russell Speight finished in 3rd spot to achieve his move up from 4th cat in Behind The Bikeshed's Summer Series

 

XC MTB podium for Tom

Turning to off-road racing, Tom Budden secured another podium spot in round 7 of the Southern XC Mountain bike series at the Matterley Estate near Winchester, finishing second in the Sport category of the XC Mountain Bike series on the hilly circuit near Winchester and looking set for a top three finish in the series.

Sotonia Summer Criterium report

Ed_Slot_Sotonia_Crit_19.6.16_01

Now in it’s third season, the Sotonia Summer Criterium returned last weekend for the first of two events held at the South Winchester Park & Ride venue this year. A best ever turnout of 159 riders took part with plenty of family and supporters taking advantage of the ‘race village’ refreshments from the good people at Coffee Cruiser, GelArto Ice Cream and the Terrace Sandwich Bar. Mechanical support was on hand from race sponsors, The Hub Cycleworks.

Fine weather greeted the youth riders in the early races with Sotonia fielding seven U8s. Ollie Graham rode strongly for another podium finish with 2nd place. Isabella Hall taking 2nd in U8 girls. Of the four Sotonia U10s, Samuel Ridgment was our best finisher in 7th place.

When it came to the senior races, we were again well represented in the 4th cats with seven Sotonia riders. A lead group of nine riders including Tom Budden and junior, Josh Bakker quickly formed which stayed away until the end with Josh taking 3rd and Tom 4th in the sprint won by Adam Downing (Cycleworks).

[youtube height="430" width="750"]PLACE_LINK_HERE[/youtube]

 

Five Sotonia riders raced the 3rd cat race and again it was full gas from the gun. A lead group moved clear as the bunch strung out, containing Ed Slot, James Peckham, Phil Wilks and Andy MacKay. The eventual sprint won by Rob Hardyman (North Hampshire RC) saw Ed take a fine second place, Andy 7th, James 8th and Phil 12th.

Thanks to all the club members who helped make the event such a success. Thanks also to The Hub Cycleworks for their support and Graham Robins for the event photos.

Next up is the Sotonia Summer Road Race on 3rd July which should see some exciting racing on the sporting circuit at Owslebury with another strong lineup by team Sotonia.
