With lockdown easing, Southend Wheelers are resuming group rides for
club members only. Social Distancing and group size limits will be adhered
to. Our usual base of Canewdon Village Hall is still not available so

orange/red/black groups to start at Canewdon Village Hall at 9am, ride
in groups of 6 or less, pick up other riders and possibly regroup at The
Hawk in Battlesridge and return to the new cycle cafe at Battlesbridge at 11:45 (ish)

5th August 2020 - 10 Mile Time Trial, Steeple E21
Thanks to Jamie Maidment for his constant monitoring, and
implementation, of the rules surrounding competitive events in our
current easing-out-of-lockdown world, we were able to run a couple of
Wednesday Time Trials. The races were restricted to club members only,
including second-claim members from Richardsons-Trek and HPC. The first
event on 5th August included 5 Personal Bests and 3 Course Bests.
Fastest Wheeler was David Pennington in a CB of 21:45, Dan Jenkins was
Fastest Vet, Dan Walsh, Matt Stock and Ben Bowler all set PBs, Steve
Shore was First on Vet Age Standard and Dan Walsh First on Handicap. It
looks like Covid-19 took away a great battle in the Ladies Event;
Katie-Ann Elliston set a CB of 26:28 but was eclipsed by Jennie Page's
CB of 25:50. In the Juvenile category Cavan Burrows set of PB of 30:34.
Elsewhere Martin Harris set the Fat-Tyre benchmark of 32:32
mischievously saying "I hope that the Xmas TT is snowed-off, that way
there is one guaranteed ticket sold to the Awards Dinner".
Fastest riders on the night were James Jenkins and Simon Alexander of
Richardsons-Trek with Rob Staines (Pedal Power) rounding off the podium.
