Est. 1923.
I recently went back to my home land, Northern Ireland to ride the Newry 3 day stage race. It was a chance to race with my younger brother John and other whom I’ve raced with and known for years and compete in one of the most popular races on the Irish calendar.
Warrington Road Clubs first Open event of the year (Harry Barker Memorial 50 Mile Time Trial) ended in success with the Fastest Team award going to the Warrington veteran riders Steve Hilton, Steve Hankey and Dave Fox combined times being faster than any other club in the open event. On a warm but windy day, the teams combined time was 06:05:10 the fastest being Steve Hilton (01:57:12), then Steve Hankey, (01:58:20) and Dave Fox (02:09:38). Each rider has started the season well with, Hilton clocking the fastest 10, 25 and 50 times in the club so far, Hankey is his best form in a couple of years with 6 top 10 finishes in time trials and Fox also started with good TT time and a 6th place in the recent Steve Jones Memorial Road Race.
2018 Conwy plans started in late 2017 with a shout out to all members for volunteers/victims to get on board. The 5 months between making a commitment and it actually happening lulled many an unsuspecting soul to put their name down, whilst resolving to getting themselves fit beforehand.
Next minute and it was upon us.
On the 27th January at Lymn Hotel, Warrington Road Club held their 94th Annual Dinner and Presentation Award evening in honour of the celebrating the previous years riders achievements, but also the year in general for the club.
Steve Hilton has broken his own club record for the 3rd year running the Club 25 Record with a time of 50:37 on the R25/3H course in Wales last weekend, knocking 10 seconds off his own record. The Vet is in fine form going in to the final stages of the season still looking to beat his own 10 and 50 mile times.
