Is there any one out there?

Indeed there is

Evening 10's folks - SV and EW are invited to join debate
  Do we want to continue in present format
  Can we? in view of road works etc
  Would non standard distances allow us to find suitable courses?


Where will we hold them - who will ride them
remember someone has to organise, time etc - so dont give suggestions that are impossible to organise

Over to you folks

Where was the club run today?, got to the cafe and no one turned up -- and we didnt eat all the tea cakes!!

Photos of CSDs in pursuits on the news page

Thank you for letting me attend your club dinner. I had a super time. Enjoyed the race on Saturday too.
I'm going to have to buy a bike now!

Anyone going to ride the new estuary trial on Saturday I may risk it if there are no speed bumps to "climb" anyone else fancy it. Should be quite a morning.

Hi All
A reminder to everyone that the Somerset Road Club 'Open 10' is taking place on Saturday 26th April 2008 at 1430hrs on the U21/10. For those of you unfamiliar with the course, it is virtually pan flat, out & back with some longish straights on a pretty good surface. The only 'climb' is over the Motorway overbridge !.The course runs on the A38 between Cross & East Brent and the HQ is about 15 mins from junction 22 of the M5. £100 first prize is guaranteed with lots of other awards.
Hope to see you there !
Cheers
Tim

Andrew and Sue rode the Tamar CC 10 at Okehampton last night in yet more windy conditions but not as bad as last week.
Andrew did 23.22 a PB, and Sue 26.47.

Dont forget the Corries 2up 10 on sat 26th July. if anyone would like a partner instead of us riding together, let us know.

I rode my first 25 last Thursday on the S4 along with Sue & Andy. It couldn't have been a worse night but I really enjoyed it. I won,t say my time as it wasn,t that good but I did average 18 miles an hour ( Thats 30 on the way out and 6 on the way back) Im not sure of Andy's time but I think Sue did 1hr 12. Sue & I came away with 1st & 2nd lady which wasn't hard as we were the only ones. I would love to do more 25's but I wish they had them in the evenings not early on Sundays, Im not good first thing in the morning!

Hi Paul,
I will help on Wednesday night, but I don't want to push anyone off. Emily

thanks to everybody who turned up to help out at the time trial tonight, even though it was almost certainly going to be cancelled.
Thanks too, to Pete Luxton for organising a replacement time keeper when his hospital appointment came through on the wrong night and it was the last thing that anybody else would have thought about. I didn't know anyhing about this - everybody just turns up. See you all next wek, hopefully in the sun shine.

Nigel & I rode The Bikeinmotion 10 last night on the S4 it was a nice evening for a change 54 riders turned up.
Nigel rode well to get a 23.23 and I did a good time for me of 28.51

We have just got back from our visit to see the tour to see the news about David we had a message from Ian & Gill that there had been a fatal accident
involving a cyclist back home but not many details

Our sympathy goes out to Davids family and all those involved in this tragic loss

I would just like everyone who was out on the club run on Sunday (3rd Aug) to know that I didn't have my bubble bath in the afternoon - I ended up working with Jamie instead - so much for my afternoon of relaxing....

Hi all,

I am a PhD student in exercise physiology at the University of Exeter based at the St Luke's Campus. I am in the process of testing for one of my PhD studies and I am looking to recruit subjects to participate in the study. I would be most grateful if you could read this as I hope that it would be of interest to some of you.

 

WHAT DOES THE STUDY INVOLVE?

The study will comprise a total of 7 visits to the laboratory at the St Luke's Campus to perform exercise tests on the bike. After an initial ramp exercise test, from which I can determine VO2max, Gas Exchange Threshold (this is simply a non invasive method to establish the lactate threshold), the remaining six tests will involve step tests where the workload is abruptly increased from a baseline value to either a moderate workload or a high-intensity workload. Three of these tests will occur following a 3 day period of dietary nitrate supplementation, with the remaining three occurring following placebo. These 3 test will be performed on successive days. On two occasions (one for each experimental condition) you will be required to hold the high-intensity workload until exhaustion. We will also we taking both fingertip and venous blood samples for the determination of blood lactate and blood nitrite, respectively.

WHY INVESTIGATE NITRATE SUPPLEMENTATION?

Supplementation with dietary nitrate has been shown to promote blood vessel dilation and to increase blood flow to the working muscles. This, of course, has the potential to increase the volume of oxygen delivered to the muscle and therefore to improve exercise performance.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

There are no side effects associated with dietary nitrate supplementation

WHAT WILL I GET FROM TAKING PART IN THIS TESTING?

From the initial ramp test I will provide you with your VO2max, Gas-Exchange Threshold ( same as Lactate Threshold) and the Heart Rate at which these physiological boundaries occur, which will be of use when your are setting exercise intensities for your training. Also if your performance is improves following dietary nitrate supplementation I will provide you with a list of foods high in nitrates, which you may then wish to incorporate into your diet.


If you have any questions regarding the testing or you would like to participate in this study please contact me on either:

Best Wishes
Stephen Bailey

Yeovil 10 last night saw 6 riders report to the time keeper. Nigel O; John Fuke; Sue and Andy B; Roger Dean and Keith Stepehenson Sue and Keith came away with PB's (Sue got ladies prize as well) and Rog and Nigel were happy with their rides - I think Andy wa feeling his age!!! and wasnt as happy as the others !- Happy Birthday Andrew.

Link to pics on FLCKR for Yeovil 10 including details of times - http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyclingmrso/sets/72157607396873925/

and the SW Circuit Champs at Ilton were held yesterday - no CSD but photos are on FLCKR too if you want to check them out

Emily did a great ride on Sunday when she completed the Cheddar challenge -she writes - Yesterday, I completed the 100 mile cheddar challenge, it was awesome, the day was crisp, cold, but as the sun came up, soon warmed up and it was a perfect day. I was kn*ckered when we finished, I rode it with one of our friends called Ben and had a brilliant time. Even though the last 40 miles were ALL up hill, there was some stunning scenary to look at. (AND SHE COULD LOOK AT IT)!
 
Ben and I rode the course in 5 hours 51 mins - gold medal time! I was really chuffed and it has inspired me to race next year. Because the first half of the course was relatively flat, with a few nasty steep, but short climbs, we were riding in a pelton of about 40 riders. Everyone was moving about, doing their turns on the front, (which I did also) and we were ripping along.
 
Dont forget the Tarka Family ride on October 19th AND Simon Hill asks us to remember winter doesnt mean the racing stops - the cyclo cross SW League is in full swing - Simon competing - and is getting fields on 50+ which is great news DEtails of SW LEague can be found on the web - www.cyclo-cross.org.uk

I know boring isnt it !! Mrs O again No CSD riders in the Hill CLimb on Hay Tor today but heres the link to the photos if you want to see how other got on.

I have just discovered this message board, that enables me to say:

thanks for the great support on Peak Hill at the Sid Valley Hill Climb last week. It made a great difference thanks, and is very much appreciated; and

the real good news is that Lesley Ward was discharged from hospital last week (after rather more than 3 months) and is now at home. She spends increasing amounts of time out of her wheel chair now, and has walked to the local shops. real progress. Phil plans to get her on the back of a tandem!

stace

Great news about Lesley I am sure that she will continue to improve rapidly now she has come this far.

well done to you Stace for getting to the top of Peak Hill and still being aware that we were shouting at you!

 I shall be riding the 100km Exmoor Beast next Sunday(2nd November). If anybody else is doing this distance and wants to car share then contact me via this page.

NOTE TO POP - JOhn Ive tried emailing you - but I think your email box needs emptying The link you wanted was http://www.cyclo-cross.org.uk/
