A superb performance from
Rory
Atkins last Sunday saw him conquer Windsor Hill in an awesome
time of 1:58, claiming victory over the remainder of the 29
rider field.Having just finished a week's riding at the National Track Championships (see below), Sandy King demonstrated his versatility by taking part in the National Hill Climb. In the huge field, Sandy finished in 39th place (of 126 starters), and was the 6th Junior to the top.

Declan Higgins came 19th in the Junior race at the National Trophy in Ipswich, whilst Corrine Hall was 3rd in the Women's race - again, Corrine had spent much of the previous week at the National Track Champs......
The second round of this year's Twickenham CC Ottershaw Winter Series saw the 33 starters tackle 10 laps of the Staple Hill circuit, followed by a further 10 of the Valley End circuit. An energetic performance from Hounslow & District Wheeler Paul Holdsworth deserved much greater reward than his second place, as he was pipped to the line by Henry Furness.

Once again, thanks to the marshalling team of Barbara Vance, Warren Watson, Lisa West, Nigel Atkins, Rob Spindler, Mark Spindler, Simon Letch, Sol Findlay, Steve Thomas, Patrick, Ann Marshall, Des Bennett, & Dave Peck. One more race to go - the marshalling has been superb this year, let's keep it up.
Coach Mac, Wiesa Kuczaj, Darren Paice, & George Kirkin were amongst others in getting muddy again, this time at Hillingdon for Round 4 of the Central Cyclo-Cross League. Results to follow, but some pictures can be viewed here.

The bronze medal ride-off saw Corrine Hall go into an early lead, but Dani King gradually wound her back in and took a slender lead after the half-way mark. But it was very close throughout, with King only breaking the elastic in the last couple of laps, to claim the bronze medal.
Dani King Vision 1 Racing (3:50.717) beat Corrine Hall Team Corridori (3:51.926). Great ride from Corrine going 1 second faster than qualification time.
