Easy as 1-2-3
SCC completed an impressive 1-2-3 at Round 11 of the South Staffs Road Race League on Thursday with Neil Ruston, Kevin Payton, Simon Smewin, supported by a big team on the road, finishing in the top 3 spots.
Kevin attacked on the last lap going up Six Ashes and managed to stay away from the group until 1/2 mile from the end, and then had the determination to get on Sie and Neil’s wheel as they came past and stay with them as they rode off the front. The team work displayed by SCC was fantastic with riders sitting in and leaving the others to chase Kevin down.
With some first time racing from the ladies on Tuesday night at Stourport in our Crit race, superbly organised by Roger Allen, the club has had a great week.
Coaching Session
Amazing drone footage of our recent coaching session at Stourport track has been uploaded to Youtube and can be viewed here.
Many thanks to Bal Basra and his son for all their hard work.
Not a history of Stourbridge Cycling Club
We have finally internetified, “Stourbridge Cycling Club 1964-1999” a book of observations written by John Cooper in 1999. In his own words, “it is not a history but just a snapshot of the ambitions, activities and concerns of the club during that period”
We hope you enjoy.
