Addiscombe Win Stuff!

Back in the good ol' days (tm) of the 1950s Addiscombe used to win events up and down the country including lots of national championships as well as the setting of  British records. Every few years since then we would have a rider here or there in the results that would win a prize for Addiscombe but victories got a bit thin on the ground over recent years.

Over the last year and a half we have had so many novices join the club and it turned out that quite a few of them were pretty fast and enjoyed competing. Whilst we value the social aspect of riding its also good now and again to celebrate all those riders who have won events for Addiscombe.

This is the roll call of victors for 2001:

Addiscombe team awarded Moon Trophy SCCU 25mile TT 22nd April for over 30s riders (Paul Tunnell, Chris Colford, Doug Rollins)

Steve Bayliss won a round of the National Espoirs Trophy Road Race on 23rd June when he was first under 23 rider and second overall in the 2 stage race whilst riding with the DeNardi team.

Mark Cole awarded Taccagni Trophy for 1st handicap in the SCCU 50 mile TT on 1st July. The trophy dates from 1875

Addiscombe's novices get the team prize in the Sussex CA 12 hour championships on 12th July (Robert Wilson, Richard Claridge, Nick Mann)

Sylvain Garde won a round of the Sports mtb competition at Beastway on 19th July (as well as getting 4th in the singlespeed world champs a few weeks earlier)

Paul Tunnell and Chris Colford won the Lea Valley CC tandem 30 mile TT on 29th September

Steve Bayliss won the Rainham round of the London Cyclo Cross on 4th November

Addiscombe's off roaders won the team prize at the Frylands cyclo cross on 11th November (Garde, Richard Munday, Kevin Barkwick)

Addiscombe's off roaders also won the team prize at the Addiscombe promoted cyclo cross at Frylands on 16th December (Bayliss, Garde, Munday)

Congratulations to all of you, not just those who are listed but all of you who go out and race in the hope of helping the team to victory and also to all the non-riders who support and cheer our members on. Well done everyone!
