Yes this year Stafford Road Club will be hosting 9 club Time Trials and 1 Open Time Trial event.

Each of the club events will be run as ‘come and give it a go events’ so you can just turn up and ride.

Our Open Event ‘The Reg Pearce Memorial Race’ on Saturday 21st May is classified as an Open A event where riders will need to pre-enter before the closing date on the 10th May.

Special thanks to Ade Robinson, Graham Kelly and Alastair Semple for their help and Susan Semple for the expert supervision.  Great also to see Gary’s old friend Dave Drayton Green pop along to say hello.

Stafford Road Club would also like to extend our thanks to Roger Morris who for the last 12 years has been cutting the grass, planting bulbs and making the surround area look beautiful, your work Roger is appreciated by everyone who visits or cycles by and most importantly Gary family too.

2022 into SPRING 2023 – CYCLING TRAINING CLASSES with @ASCYCLINGCOACH

/1 Comment/in , /by

Starting on the 19th October 2022 on a Wednesday evening at 18:30 I will be hosting classes for Stafford Road Club members and any of our cycling friends who may wish to join us.

The training classes will be organised on Zwift (Zwift VR cycling app ) as a group ride where all the riders will stay together and follow the same training schedule based on your own personal levels, so we ride and complete the sessions together as a team.

To make things more sociable we will also use the free Discord phone app so we can use this to talk to each other while riding.

These Zwift group rides we have run this year have proved really successful and the software is very simple to get to grips with.  So please let me know if you are interested in taking part by emailing me at ascoaching@outlook.com.  You are welcome to join the classes at any point this winter so do not worry if you miss the start on 19th Nov.  If you need any more info again please get in touch.

Stafford Road Club Records Fall

Susan Semple’s 2020 race season climaxed with a fabulous performance in this year’s national 15 mile Veteran Time Trial Association (VTTA) Championships where she took the bronze medal in the women’s event LINK .  In the process setting a new Stafford Road Club Women’s Senior and Vets record time of 37:30.  So a great end to the 2020 season that lasted just 8 days for Susan.  But after 50 weeks training and 6000+ miles, mainly indoors, Susan was pleased to be back racing for Stafford Road Club this year and reaching the podium in a national event.  It was great to have Mark Richards out on the course in his Stafford Road Club kit supporting Susan and giving some much need encouragement on the tough single carriageway course in Shropshire.
