Lex Help For Heroes Ride
On Saturday, Lex Dalton took part in the Scunthorpe Treaderz 180 mile endurance event. The route started in Scunthorpe (North Lincolnshire) and travelled through 6 counties, ending in Wotton Bassett (Wiltshire). The distance completed was actually 190 Miles due to a wrong turn early on the route. Weather conditions made things difficult; with rain ranging from light showers to very heavy downpours with thunder and lightening. Despite the poor weather, there was a good spirit from all the riders.
I am delighted to report that Lex was the first rider home, in a time of 11hrs 7 minutes.
The event raised over £7,000 for the ‘Help for Heroes’ charity.
Etape du Tour 2010 UPDATED
On the 18th of July, 9500 riders started from the city of Pau to climb 3 monuments of the Pyrénées : col de Marie-Blanque, col du Soulor and the giant Tourmalet.
The distance total was 181 km with imposing landscapes: Plateau de Bénou, Gorges de l’Ouzom and Gorges de Luz, summit of Soulor… 3 Dealies were amongst the finishers, and congratulations to them on great times! Please note all three are related to mountain goats or perhaps marmots…….
Kerim Kiral 7:29:44 position 609
Mike West 8:10:04 position 1487
Neil Towns 8:12:26 position 1543
I have received the following update from Kerim
..just a couple of details : you put up the times from when the elites set off, which for all dealies ( who were way back in the river of cyclists ) means a huge time lag before we reached the start line.
here are also ‘real times ‘ and positions that have been publishd…ie – timing starting from the moment each rider passes the start line……and they are the amended times above :
You all may be interested to know that the course really disadvantaged the people towards the back at the start – unlike the marmotte ( which has a 8m wide and stright road for the first 10k ), this course started with about 4 km through narrow streets where overtaking was not possible and was peppered with plenty of foot-down moments where the road narrowed. the first little hill at 13 km was also a real problem for many as we slowed down to about 6k/hr. I heard from some friends who started in different places that they had to do quite a bit of walking…..one claimed to have walked for over 1.5km – ouch !!! )…
The Anthony Maynard Sportive 18/7/10
Thank you to Lex Dalton who sent me the following report:
“On Sunday 18th myself and Tim Malpass took part in the Anthony Maynard sportive ran by Reading CC, A route stating in Reading heading to Swindon, then a turn to Marlborough, then back to Reading. Hampered by a stiff headwind and wet conditions, the 123 mile route of relentless rolling terrain was only broken up by 17 bigger climbs. The route was found to be very challenging with a total accent of 4287 metres.
It was an excellent event very well signposted and organised and a must for the serious sportive rider next year.
Lex Dalton 7hrs 19 mins 31 sec Placed 15th
Tim Malpass 7hrs 19 mins 44 sec Placed 16th”
