Written by rider Tony Lowe The second round of this national veteran’s series was hosted by CC Luton on a circuit near Cranfield, Northamptonshire. I travelled down with Graham and Neil on the Saturday and we stayed on the Cranfield University campus which was a stone’s throw from the race HQ. I was feeling rather […]

Written by rider Neil Higgins The first race of my 42nd season was a very windy and cold affair with a very strong field, after the neutralised zone I knew it was going to be hard with the cross winds and within a short distance the riders where spread across the road and line out […]

By Matthew McGrath The Lagans Challenge! I have taken part in this event solo twice before, both times being the 40mile route with 4000ft of climbing, I was looking forward to riding the course with Team ASL and the challenge of the additional 30miles + Hunters Hill. Pre-Event preparation for this consisted of something I […]

By Andy Greenhalgh Winter this year seemed to go on for ever. All my ‘shiny bit’ purchases have been made over the last year or two; these days its training and yet more training. My ever-patient coach Si Wilson sets ever more difficult training sessions, and, for me, the mental effort required to sit on […]

As the 2017 season is now well and truly over, we’ve all had enough good food over the festive period, and it’s time to get back into the swing of things. Team ASL-Bolton had a fantastic first year with many members achieving their goals and hitting personal bests. It was a particularly stand out year […]

Written by Graham Balshaw The final PS race of the season was to conclude at Huntingdon again. Myself (Graham), Iggy and Tony made the journey down for the 50-60 age group race. It was likely to be a fast race with nearly 60 riders in our race including two of the Nations best road racers […]

Today was the North Wests Regional road races. I was representing Team ASL in the 3/4 race which would set off after the Womens race. After the shortest neutral roll out I’ve personally experienced the race was underway and I had to confirm with another racer that it’d actually started as there wasn’t a flag […]

Not all midweek crit races get a write up, but for this one I’ll make a slight exception. Every Thursday this summer the Cycle Development Pendle Partnership along with Cycle Sport Pendle have hosted midweek crits for every age and category group, their volunteering goes along way to keep events like this running and the […]

This was race 5 of the LVRC Percy Stallard National Series at Great Limber, East Yorkshire. The conditions could not have been better, warm, dry, only a slight wind and perfect road conditions, not a pot hole in sight. I was in the C/D race for the 50 to 59 year olds along with strong […]

Report by Neil Higgins On a bright but cool morning I picked Tony up in Horwich at 06:45 and we headed down to The Black country where Graham and Anne had spent the night in the “team camper van”. We got to the HQ in plenty of time and, once ready, went for a warm up. […]
