teamwallis-CHH Cycling Team

A good field was assembled for the West Pennine event with the team well supported with Matt, Chris and James the main focus. Chris was first to attack with an early break of 15 riders, this was pulled back by the bunch and the race was settling with a few digs off the front, including Matt who was away alone for nearly a lap! Then the decisive break went, without any of the team in it. Dafydd and Chid then worked to close the gap, with James assisting. When the gap was @ 1min on the last lap, it looked as though we were racing for fourth, until Matt put a huge effort in to make the break. The finish was a kick up, and Adrian Lawerence just pipped Matt for the win, Matty 2nd. James smashed the final kick to come in 7th with Chris a respectable 11th. A good day out, Eldon, Martin and Roy watched from the side, Martin after a '30' mile TT in the morning to add another Spoco counting event. Read more ...

Great teamwork and a great result at Salt Ayre League week 3. Right from the first lap when Chris went away and Julian joined him the team were dominating the race. Chris and Julian kept having a go to get away and all the team were away or chasing breaks at some stage through the race. It all came together for a sprint where the first 4 riders were clear of the bunch with Steve 3rd and Lewis 4th. The next 6 places were really close with the video needed to confirm the result but Chris got 9th and Eldon 10th. John and Julian were also just outside the first 10. Great work team.

After some great work from teamwallis-CHH team-mates, James Gullen today broke away for a fantastic solo win in the Regional B CDNW race at Saighton, rounding off an amazing weekend with the fourth win for the team in three days. In the brutal elite race, Steve Abbott got in one of the breaks to secure another brilliant National B top-20 place.

The aim for Sunday was for teamwallis-CHH to get two riders in the top-ten in the Regional B race at Treales and we managed it beautifully, with John Sherriffs 3rd and Martin Wallis 8th.

Lewis, our sole entrant in the National B race, also got a great 16th place in that and the day was topped off with Andy Coupe receiving his prize for winning the CDNW league (photo, right). Read more ...

Well done Andy Coupe for again getting in the points, this time 12th place in the E/1/2/3 race at Bashall Eaves.

In the 3/4 race, John Sherriffs was 11th and Andy McCann 38th.

Well done everyone who has been plugging away at the Preston Arena all season and amassing plenty of points for the team. Sorry no-one has listed every indivdual point scored, but I know Andy Coupe, Eldon, Lewis, Iain, Steve and John all appear in the league tables, with others providing valuable support during the season.

And welcome back to racing for Martin, after having to devote most of his energies to running the team and the shop, with an eighth place on the 20th August.
