By Vilas Silverton
22 October

First up was the Holme Valley Wheelers event. The event was scheduled to be up Holme Moss, which will feature in next years Tour de France. But, mist at the top forced the climb to be rescheduled to the  shorter Woodhead climb near Holmfirth. Tejvan finished 2nd in a time of 2.12 behind Tour of Britain rider Richard Handley (Rapha CC) (2.06)

In the afternoon, Tejvan was in action on Jackson Bridge, in the Huddersfield Star Wheelers event. The event has considerable history and is run as the  - Granville Sydney (six times national champion) memorial event. Tejvan came first in a time of 4.18 - one of the quickest times for a few years.

By Vilas Silverton

_DSC4187.jpg

The event was held near Abergavenny, Wales. A strong westerly wind, made it a hard day for all riders on the two lap course. Tejvan is perhaps more suited to shorter hilly races, but set a good time for the difficult conditions. The time 1.49.43 was 8 seconds off a pb, and just quick enough to squeeze into the top 10.

 

The event was won by Matthew Bottrill (www drag2zero.com) who earlier in the week, finished 2nd to several pro riders in the British time trial championship. Julia Shaw won the womens event the previous day.

Nick English AW Cycles (19.54)

For and on behalf of Cycling Time Trials under their rules and regulations

Firstly, thanks to the timekeepers, Mark Scanlon (Newbury R.C.) and Mark Jones (Oxford City), and to the marshalls and helpers from Sri Chinmoy CT.

Thanks also to the weather gods, who gave us a nice decent day (it was looking a bit dicey when I checked forecast on Friday morning.)

Congratulations to the overall winner, Nick English (AW Cycles.co.uk) for a 30mph+ ride. (19.54). It shows the course can be rewarding course on a good day. Nick was pushed close by Pete Tadros (20.05) (In-Gear Quickvit Trainsharp RT) Pete, a good hill climber, was quickest to the top of the long drag at the turn (11.32) but Nick caught up on the return leg. Third place with Justyn Cannon (RAF CC) in 20.22, who had slow puncture on the way back. Danny Axford and Simon Harradine also managed sub 21 minute rides. Fastest lady was Gillian Reynolds (Willesden CC) in 25.37 with Katie King 2nd (Zappi Cycling Club) in 26.56.

Vets on Standards was won by Pete Tadros + 6.02, with Richard Howes (Coventry Road club) 2nd +5.18) and Jim Mcloughlin third (+5.02).

First junior was Gregory Holmes Hillingdon CC in a promising time of 25.03

Vilas Silverton - Cyclo Cross results 2012 / 13

By Tejvan Pettinger author bio »
21 March

About the author:

Tejvan organises short-distance running and cycling races for the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team in his home city of Oxford. He is also a very good cyclist, having won the National hill climb championships in 2013 and finished 3rd in the National 100 Mile Time Trials in 2014.

 

After returning from Iceland in June last year, Vilas Silverton, (Sri Chinmoy Cycling Team) started the Western League Cyclo Cross races a few months later - somewhat short on race fitness but with a hopeful optimism regarding racing a bike again.

vilas-cyclo-cross.jpg

Results were encouraging. In the veterans category he was consistently in the top three locally and generally in the top ten overall. Season highlights were some good rides locally and being able to represent Sri Chinmoy CT in some national events, such as the Inter Area Championships at Milton Keynes, and the National Championships at Peel Park in Bradford in January 2013.

In Bradford, with temperatures hardly above freezing and a biting wind, it was necessary to keep core temperatures as well as spirits up! In the event, Vilas finished around the middle of the pack of over 120 riders, 37th in his age group and the best of the Western Division entrants, which was a season’s first.

Goals for the forthcoming season are targeted specifically at improving threshold power for the duration of an hour long event (such as a typical cyclo cross race) in combination with maintaining a low weight to see what progress is possible in the physical over 45.

February - Brasil

By Vandaniya Maksimovic
3 March

 

  Our first 2013 event happened in sunny Brasil. Photo and short report from Adriano Passini (Sao Paulo):

 

  On February 11th we organized a Sports Day in São José dos Campos. Among other disciplines, we had a 7-hour cycling relay during which we did total of 730 km.

  Since we had only eight bicycles and fourteen cyclists, those waiting for their next turn on a bicycle were competing in other sports. Later they switched to throwing frisbee, kicking footbal and cheering up the cyclists.

  The day was perfect for sports, we really enjoyed this quality time together and everybody had a great fun.

  Greetings from Brasil!
