Fenland Clarion were able to hold their Cyclocross championships again this year following a missed year in 2021 due to the Covid restrictions at the time. Defending champion David Hallam was hoping to add his name once again to the Glover Stag trophy.  However, on this occasion his valiant efforts were all in vain as he was soon passed by a number of riders, including an impressive top three who soon opened up gaps on the rest of the field. Mick Stegeman claimed third place, while two of the club’s best youth riders showed their more experienced peers how it should be done. Harry Tozer claimed second place, while Evander Wishart went one better to take top spot, and in the process lapped the whole field with the exception of Harry Tozer. Full result 1. Evander Wishart, 2. Harry Tozer, 3. Mick Stegeman, 4. Lindsay Clarke, 5. Steve Clarke, 6.David Hallam, 7. Steve Hope, 8. Dan Tozer.

In the youth races there were victories for the host club in the under 8's with Caleb Caws having a close contest with Boston Wheeler Hector Short and the Kings Lynn based Velouse Flyer Rafael Rushton, while Kettering rider Patsy Anscombe just missed out on the top three. In the under 10's Bentley Anthony held off his Fenland team mate Lyla Graves, while Emma Smith took victory in the under 12's, defeating her sibling Matthew in the process. Louis Cipriani was unchallenged in the under 14's.

The club had a great day at Derby Velodrome on 18 February 2022. Well done to everybody who took part! More pictures can be seen on the Club Facebook page. 

L to R: Paul Lunn, Chris Shaw, David Hallam, Tonya Smith, Lindsay Clarke, Evander Wishart and Harry Tozer.

FENLAND Clarion’s ‘Ironman’ Paul Lunn cleaned up at this year’s club prize presentation at The Farmers in Yaxley on Saturday (5^th Feb), after winning virtually all of the club’s races during the 2021 season.
Wins in the Championship 10 and 25 mile events, plus the Cullip Cup 25 mile, Helpston Classic, Hill Climb and Place to Place events, saw Paul also take the Club Championship Series. During last season he also took a new Club Record for 100 miles with a 3.39.56 in the Burton and District event in September and Veterans Records for 25, 50 and 100 miles.
Other notable winners were Lindsay Clarke, who again won the Club Womens Championship and was the fastest female over 10 miles, while establishing a new British record for her age group during the Sherwood event near Nottingham, again in September.
Chris Shaw took the Clarke Merit Cup for his outstanding performances in 2021, with new Veterans records at 15, 25, 30, 100 miles and 12 hours with 256 miles (which also earned him the Berridge 12 hour Shield).
Youth rider Evander Wishart took the Stuart Ede Cup for the best six times during the course of the midweek Bluebell TT series and lifted the Holmes Merit Cup for his Cyclo Cross performances and his 24.50 in the National Youth 10 mile TT Final at Mallory Park.
Harry Tozer, Tonya Smith and Dave Hallam were also presented with awards on the night.

At the CTT (Cycling Time Trials) National Council AGM on Sunday 5 December 2021, several changes were made to CTT’s regulations. In particular, two important regulations were passed and are implemented with immediate effect:

ALL riders must have a working front light attached to their machine. (Regulation 14(j))

ALL riders now must wear a helmet.  (Previously this requirement was only mandatory for under 18s).  (Regulation 15)

The full regulations can be viewed on the CTT website. 

On 22-25 November 2021, the Fenland Clarion returned to the Peak District for four days of riding.

We stayed at Hartington Hall, a youth hostel in an impressive 17^th century building in the village of Hartington south of Buxton. By the end of the trip we had ridden some 163 miles and climbed 16,381 feet.

High points included:

• Getting to the top of “the wall”, riding from Langley through Macclesfield up to Cat & Fiddle road (the “Bottom of the Oven” climb);

• the climb through Abney up to the gliding club ridge, riding along the ridge and descending into Eyam (and Eyam café);

• the descent from Buxton raceway down to Glutton Bridge and on to Hollinsclough on the Thursday;

• the last few downhill miles back into Hartington every day.

Best café stop: Hassop Station on the Monsal trail.

Worst: the famous Cat & Fiddle pub – “You need to book in advance to sit inside” (!)

Considering the time of year, the weather was kind to us with temperatures ranging from 3-8°C. There was a fair bit of wind-chill but no ice or frost. Our last morning gave us the brightest sunshine of the trip.

11 riders took part: Ian Todd (Ride Leader), Phil Gee, Ian Richardson, Chris Farrow, David Hallam, Lynden Leadbeater, Julian Tatam, Charlie Joseland, Phil Anders, Kevin Jones and Peter Miller.
