Round 2 Lincsquad TT 2019
4 seasons in one TT…..
A few people have asked me about how long it takes to write these TT reports. My answer is that you can’t pitch up home ten minutes after the race, warm up the computer and wing this gig. The race results, CTT affiliations, Lincsquad’s members list and weather details need to be scoured. We always quickly trawl through social media for rider opinions and talking points.

Duathlon Provisional Results for race 2 of 2019
As I sit drinking a lovely cold beer, looking up the garden and admiring all the hard work I have manged to get out off (due to the fact last year I had major surgery, a Kidney removed and I am still not 100%). it starts me thinking, which is dangerous I know, but it does. It makes me ponder things like

First Night Box Office Smash for Lincsquad TT!
Welcome to the first Lincsquad TT report of 2019 where every day is now Wednesday, today is yesterday, tomorrow is today, yesterday is tomorrow and I don’t even know what the rest of the week is! Kings and Queens of the TT scene, seldom seen and very mean, let’s all eat some jelly beans, while brushing up our TT terminology with this aide memoir.
| Headwind | Simply a great workout- More wind please |
| Uphill | Enjoy your fornightly HIIT incline at Redbourne Roundabout |
| Bad weather | Builds character – Weaker people would stay at home- but not you |
| Bad weather, uphill and headwind | Bear Grylls would be inspired. You are hard as nails and can conquer anything! |
| Minute man | An opportunity for a little competition- Being overtaken is not an option. |

Team Clements tackles the Puffer
Two years ago I did the Strathpuffer solo for the first time and said I would never do it again but after a few months, when the feeling finally returned to my toes, I made a few notes of what I would do different, IF I did it again.
For those who are not familiar with this event it is a 24 hour mountain bike race held in the Highlands of Scotland in January, where competitors can compete as a team of 4, in pairs or if daft enough solo.

Trimark is the BTF’s version of British Cycling’s clubmark which we obtained in July last year.

Hills, Mud and Cake at Scunthorpe XC
Sunday 11th November saw Lincsquad out in force for Scunthorpe AC’s annual cross
country at Quibell Park. For some members it was their first every foray into cross country, and others hadn’t run XC snce their school days.
Club members approached the start line with varying levels of enthusiasm and confidence, but the team spirit shown was phenomenal from beginning to end. We cheered, we ate cake, we laughed, nobody cried (at least I’m fairly certain they didn’t), and a good day was had by all.
Well done to everybody who took part. Special mention to Ben Goodhand, Freddie Gibbs and Alfie Whittaker, for being second team home in the U11 Boys race, and also to Cathy Walsh for the leaps and bounds (pun intended) that she’s made in her running, and for tackling that brutal course in fine style.
If you missed this hill-slogging, tussock -jumping, cake-eating extravaganza then Barton Open XC is in January.
