One of St Helens most promising junior cyclists was taking part in the Isle of Man Youth and Junior Tour over the bank holiday weekend and helped his team to the team prize, finished 3rd in the point’s competition and 6th overall. James Mc Nally who rides for the newly sponsored St Helens Cycle Racing Club, was guest riding for Kinesis in an event which has grown in stature since the demise of the famous “cycling week” on the Island and manages to attract riders from all over Great Britain and Europe.
James who has shown excellent early season form so far this year with a number of placings in local events, was again up there when it mattered in all 3 of the stages in the tour. Friday night was the prologue on the seafront at Douglas and James was just 3 seconds behind the winner Jetse Bol from the Netherlands in 7th place. Stage 1 on Saturday and the riders were taking part in a 45 mile road race; James worked for his team mates in the bunch and eventually finished in 6th place. Sunday’s stage was a criterium again based in the seaside town of Douglas. James produced his finest effort of the tour when he got away in a break with Pim Ligthart from the Netherlands, the two riders worked well together but Pim narrowly beat James in the sprint, although disappointed at not winning he was more than happy with 2nd place and this moved him up to 6th overall on the General Classification. A fine weekends riding!
Sunday morning and Peter Ware was chasing one of St Helens CRC’s club records. On a cold but sunny morning he was taking part in the West Cheshire 30 mile Time Trial and his time of 1hour 10 minutes and 38 seconds gave him 4th place on the day, but more importantly he beat the year old club record by 6 seconds. Also taking part in a 30 mile time trial over the weekend were Ste Cross and John Cheshire, this time over in Cockerham towards Blackpool. They too had a cold but sunny start but windier conditions meant times were slower on the exposed course over Cockerham Sands. Ste finished in 1 hour 22 minutes and 09 seconds while John had to abandon after 14 miles due to an injury.

After the team success of the previous two weekends when St Helens Cycling Club Chairman Peter Ware was not only one of the counters in both team wins finishing 2nd in the West Cheshire 25 at Broxton and then equal 3rd with club treasurer Kevin Humphries in the Easter Sunday 10 mile time trial on the Rainford by-pass. It was time for individual honours when Peter scored his first individual win in over 2 years when he came away with first prize in the Manchester & District 10 mile time trial on a sporting course close to Jodrell bank near Northwich last Wednesday. His time of 22 minutes and 48 seconds gave him a 6 second winning margin.
Meanwhile St Helens ever improving junior rider James Mc Nally came close to scoring his first win of the season when he came second in the Stone Wheelers road race in Staffordshire, dad Harry finished in the bunch. James will be guesting for the Kinesis team in the Junior Tour of the Isle of Man which is due to start on Saturday 29the April.
Closer to home only two of the clubs time triallists were in action over the weekend. Ian Sutcliffe and Graham Saunders took part in the Manchester & District 25 at Chelford, The conditions were extremely tough on the finishing leg and this was reflected in their times, Ian recorded a 1 hour 1 minute and 47 seconds while Graham finished in 1 hour 5 minutes and 26 seconds.
After his win on Wednesday Peter Ware took part in a 90 kilometre road race at Elswick in Lancashire with fellow road man Stewart Dwyer on Sunday morning; both riders finished in the leading bunch.

Peter Ware was the clubs best placed rider again over the weekend when he improved on his 3rd place in the Altrincham Ravens 25 to finish 2nd in the West Cheshire Time Trial Cycling Association 25 at Broxton near Chester his time of 59 minute 11 seconds was just 21 seconds behind the winner. Riders had to battle through strong head and gusting side winds to the turn before retracing and with a helping side/tailwind before turning again into the last 4 hilly miles with another strong headwind. Times on the day reflected the tough conditions were all of the riders were at least 5 minutes off their personal bests. Kevin Humphries was the next best with a time of 1 hour and 10 seconds to give him 3rd place overall and along with a fine time on the day from Ste Cross, who recorded a 1 hour 7 minute 11 seconds this meant they again came away with the team prize.

Continuing her early season build up with a fine win in the ladies section, Kate Dwyer produced a superb time in the atrocious conditions, 1 hour 8 minutes and 17 seconds beating her nearest rival by over 9 minutes. Club Secretary John Cheshire battled on even though he felt under the weather to finish with a time of 1 hour 14 minutes and 02 seconds.

Meanwhile closer to home Stewart Dwyer and Ian Sutcliffe were taking part in the Southport 25 at Tarleton. The conditions again were far from ideal with strong side winds putting paid to any hopes of decent times. They did however manage to both finish in the top seven places; Stewart with a 1 hour 4 minutes 48 seconds and Ian a 1 hour 5 minutes 29 seconds, both riders well outside their personal bests.

One of St Helens most promising schoolboys, Craig Eden is showing fine early season form. Out of three races entered so far, his results have been 8th, 3rd and 4th. Looking good for the nationals Craig.

Former St Helens rider Dave Hitchen was a worthy winner of the Frank Morgan Memorial road race over a course near to Kirkby on Sunday.
