Not one, not two, not three but four rides this weekend – and on one of them you don’t even need to break into a sweat. Yes, it’s the return of the hotly-contested (by the FLABs) downhill freewheel competition where there’s only one rule: no pedalling is allowed. Anything else goes, be it TT bikes,[…]
Carpenter and Heaney improve to finish first The second of Banbury Star’s 2Up TT events took place on Wednesday evening on the regular 20km/13mile course. Riding in pairs and taking it in turns to lead at the front and set the pace, times are generally faster. The club attracted an entry of 15 teams, who[…]
Grab a partner for the Banbury Star do-si-do two-up time trial on Wednesday evening for a thrash around the 20k course in the company of someone who will hopefully give you a two all the way round and set a blistering time as you cling on to their rear wheel separated by a gap that[…]
On form Billy Leason wins again Another overcast, blustery, but at least dry evening greeted the 31 rider field on their return to the regular Banbury Star 20km TT course on the outskirts of the town. With the return of an on-form Billy Leason the result was probably never in doubt as he flew around[…]
Sponsored by Golden Age Cycles, Banbury, this inaugural non-competitive event celebrates the growing interest in old* and classic bicycles. Starting at 10am an appropriate 30 mile route has been planned along some of the best local countryside roads with a halfway stop for coffee and cake at the Chandlers Arms in Epwell. * for bikes up[…]
The maps and details for this weekend’s club rides are as follows. Sunday’s fast and intermediate rides join up at Epwell to celebrate El Presidente’s 50th birthday. You can chose between a 50 mile or 50 km ride and there’ll be cake and coffee at the Chandlers Arms pub. We’ll ride back to Banbury as[…]
After the rather challenging weather conditions for last week’s Tysoe Ten TT, fingers crossed this Wednesday’s return to the ever-popular 20k course sees us blessed with something more favourable. It’s a slightly earlier start too. Timekeeper Keri Williams will be at Ludlow Drive from 5.30pm to relieve you of your entry fees (£2 club members,[…]
Alexander breezes to dominant win Darren Alexander from Team Cherwell, one of the most regular competitors at the Banbury Star Wednesday night time trials, clearly likes wet and windy events. Back in May he won the 20km TT in awful conditions and he’s now followed this up with a dominant win on the popular 10[…]
The maps and details for this weekend’s club rides are as follows: Saturday 10am: A slightly longer gentle cafe ride of 29 miles takes us up to Lower Boddington before turning to Wardington for a well-earned coffee stop. Andy and Rob will be leading the ride. Sunday 9am: The fast ride will average over 18mph[…]
We’ve got three rides this weekend to get you out and about the beautiful Cotswold countryside. All start at Broadribbs Cycles, please be there 15 minutes before the start time for the pre-ride briefing. Saturday 10am: The gentle cafe ride goes out to Wyatts farm shop, a star favourite stopping-off place, for coffee and cake[…]
