June 2007 Boston Wheelers Three members of Boston Wheelers Cycling Club competed
in the Spalding Cycling Club open 25-mile time-trial among a total field of
38 riders. Despite somewhat inclement conditions, the threatened rain kept
away and the Boston squad impressed by collecting the overall team
award. J Struthers (Lindsey Roads) was fastest in 58 minutes 14
seconds, G Rushmore (King’s Lynn CC) recorded 58.28 and James Harness (Boston
Wheelers) came home in 58.41 to head the winning team along with Paul
Griffiths 1.00.39 and Dave Grayson 1.03.09 for a total team time of 3.2.29. The weather for the 10-mile league race on June 21 was
one of the best so far this season, with 11 starters. The Saint family were
well represented, with Pete having his best league ride this year with 22
minutes 48 seconds while 12-year-old Lennox achieved a personal nest of
29.59. Pippa, who is busy with exams, rode well for a 32.21. There was also a
personal best from Paul Hutchinson in 24.05. Other times were: Mik Barker
29.50, Julian Cummins 27.09, Dave Grayson 24.55, Martin White 24.23 and Peter

February 2007 Boston Wheelers Boston Wheelers duo Jim Boyle and Pete Saint competed
in the Yorkshire Cycling Federation’s 10-mile time trial, an event held on
the A64 between Tadcaster and Coppmanthorpe. Boyle bounced back to form after
the disappointment of having to retire from the recent Ely Hardrider event
due to a broken spoke on his bike. In the latest event, however, he won the
A64 event against some good level opponents in a time of 21 minutes 5
seconds. Pete Saint also did well in achieving a speedy time of 23 minutes 2
seconds. |
