Wheelers’ Presentation Night 2017

The 2017 edition of the CWCC Prize Presentation Evening was held at Guisborough RUFC on Friday 24th March.

The catering was once again top-notch, many thanks to Marcus for sorting that, and to the organising sub-committee for managing to put the event on despite numerous frustrations with double-bookings and venue clashes.

There was a good turn-out and as well as the usual suspects, it was good to see some new names on some of the Wheelers’ trophies, particularly Carl Maynard with the road race trophy and Mike Gettings with the Free Wheeling, thankfully beating Marcus “sneaky” Smith to the prize.

The biggest haul of the night went to Richard Lilleker who had to phone Prestons of Potto to help have his trophies taken home.

Steve Binks proudly showed his BBC Unsung Hero award off and wife Sherry was awarded a certificate honouring her own long-standing service to the club.

Congratulations to all of those who were awarded prizes for last season. Hopefully this year will prove to be as popular and as competetive.

See you all next year!

CWCC “Hilly 21” Open TT

The first event of the Cleveland Wheelers open TT calendar took place on Sunday 12th March. The weather didn’t look too promising at the start but soon brightened up to provide almost ideal conditions for riding.
This was the competition’s first year on a revised course, one which is hopefully safer and provides a better “rider experience” but which also is slightly less lumpy than before. We were thankful for the positive feedback we received about the new route.
The winner was Keith Murray of DRAG2ZERO in a time of 43:42, followed by Shaun Tyson of Adept Precision and Dominic Munnelly of Newcastle Cheviot. Fastest female was Holly Flannery of Team Jadan-Weldtite in a time of 51.30. First Cleveland Wheeler home was Richard Lilleker in 48:41.
This was Keith’s 10th success in the event. Well done to Keith, and thank you to all those who participated and who helped out with the event, both in its preparation and in its running on the day. Further thanks go to The House Designerwear of Yarm for their continued support of CWCC events.
A photo gallery of the event is available at the bottom of this post and the full results are available at the CTT website, here.

Special Award

As part of the continuing recognition that Steve Binks is deservedly getting for his 40+ years services to local cycling, he recently received the British Cycling Special Award, one of only four awarded nationally. It was of some satisfaction to Steve that his old friend Steve McIntosh from Barnesbury CC also received an award, meaning two of the four went to local cycling clubs, showing the dedication that we have within our region.
