The Piece of Cake Is Back
Posted by Site Admin in Club Events on June 29th, 2010
The inaugral 2010 Piece of Cake time trial took place tonight, following the re-surfacing of the far leg of the track. And very smooth it was too. We appear, congratulations Simon, to have a new COURSE RECORD. Are the previous record holders going to take this lying down?
Left Leg Right Leg 2
Simon 4-03 4-03 Nice consistancy and a New Course Record
Ben 6-16* 4-42* "I got lost" says Britain's 35th fastest Brompton Nocturne Athlete
Carolyn 5-36 5-42 A cautious start from a POC first-time. Plenty of season left.
Jen 5-09 5-14 Failing on the opening event of the season to threaten her own class record
Andy S 4-52 4-59 Not disqualified this event for any imaginary faults.
Steve F 4-31 4-38 Steve beats his own best time for last year. One to watch
Will 4-24 4-31* A dissapointing lack of "novelty bike" input from BRC's bike magpie
*Note: These two did the course without helmets which is not big or clever and will definatelty get their 20 second penatly next time.
Course Records
The Piece of Cake is back
Posted by Site Admin in Club Events on June 14th, 2010
Following intensive resurfacing of the majority of the course after we wore it out with time-trials last winter, Jennifer reports that the track is now back up to Olympic* quality.
The first Piece of Cake will therefore take place at 7:30 pm meeting on the corner, of Hayes Way and Whitecroft way on Tuesday 29th of June.
For full previous details see the “piece of cake” tags : http://www.beckenhamrunning.co.uk/tag/piece-of-cake But in a brief recap.
1. This is an informal sprint cycle race where cyclist go off in 30 second intervals and complete a short triangular course as quick as they can.
2. Each cyclist has two legs.
3. Riders are disqualified for reckless abandonement of their pump.
Current Records:
* As in Olympia 776 BC. Possibly

A quick recap
Posted by ben in Club Events, Races & Reports on October 19th, 2009
When I first joined the club, I’m sure the more venerable members of the club won’t mind me saying, that it was considered something of an event when someone came back from a race with a spot-prize of half a go bar and a 5% discount voucher for JB Sport.
But I believe the last 10 days ….
Ken ran 127.01 miles at the weekend – 8th in the 24 hour race.
Jim did 2.48.09 (24th) and Nolan 2.55.38 (52nd) at abdingdon marathon
Anika was 3rd lady at wimbledon 10k
Gail 1st vet, (Mel, sophie, Helen,Kate) ladies 1st team and mel 1st at Petts Wood
Anika (again) running 2:04 for 16 miles at kingston
Simon’s first sub 90 min half
Clare Elms for coming 2nd ( and only just) in her first ever duathlon
Jim 5th at dulwich
Will 3rd in the quicksand 15.
Marc 3rd at petts wood
New boy Chris Minns finishing 5th in the Royal Parks Half marathon with 1:14:56
And
Loyal Webmaster getting his canoe badge. Bless.
Did I miss anything?
