Mersey Roads National 24 Hour Championships, a race report Peter Bishop has written a race report of this year's Mersey Roads National 24 Hour Championships. You can download it here. Peter says the report "...is more or less the same as the report in the journal but all joined up and some subjective stuff removed. I think it would be good to have it up on website so that we can refer people to it (via the URL), i.e. those who have no idea what a 24 hour is like, it’ll serve to give them some insight without having to look thru’ the whole journal."  top of page

The future of the 24 Hour - announcement from the Chair of Cycling Time Trials

Since the sad news from Jon Williams that the Mersey Roads CC would no longer be able to run the 24 Hour, the 24 Hour Fellowship has been in direct contact with Andrea Parish, the Chair of CTT, regarding the future of the National 24 Hour.

She emailed us yesterday 14/11/24 with the following information:

“I'm delighted to confirm we have an organiser for the 2025 24 Hour in Tim Smith (CTT Director and Manchester DC Hon. Sec)”. Andrea then goes on to say that Jon Williams and Tim Smith are meeting in person week beginning 18th November as stage one of the handover. She adds:

“Our commitment to the 24 remains steadfast and with Tim organising in 2025 it gives us the time we need to explore all other opportunities and possibilities to secure its long-term future.”

The new organiser Tim Smith has promoted many Open TT events, and the National 25 Mile Time Trial Championships this year 2024. Tim’s plan is to run the event on the Prees-based course in the first instance, to get a feel for the event, before considering any future changes. Tim is meeting with Andrea Parish this weekend 16/17th Nov. 2024 to further discuss the 24 Hour.

The Fellowship have thanked both Andrea Parish and Tim Smith for their commitment towards ensuring the continuance of this iconic event, and also for their engagement with the Fellowship.

We have also thanked Jon Williams and the wider Williams family, and all Mersey Road CC members, for their hard work in running the event for the past 17 years.

2025 MERSEY ROAD 24 HOUR

2025 MERSEY ROAD 24 HOUR Jon Williams posted this in the result sheet: "Apologies for the delay in sending the result sheet out but we have been trying to find a solution to the sad situation that we are in. Unfortunately we’ve been unsuccessful and we’re very sad to have to share the news that the Mersey Roads Club are no longer able to promote this iconic event. The club is now only a very small one and we haven’t got enough people able to put the time required into running the event. We’ve informed the local district and the national committee and hope that someone will be able to come forward to keep the event going. We’ll be very happy to pass on our knowledge and support the event going forward. Yours in sport Jon We hope to see you all at a 2025 event"

Mersey Roads 24 Hour Result

The result of the Mersey Roads 24 Hour held over the weekend can be found here.  

You can find the race report here on the CTT website

Considering the miserable weather there were 7 more finishers than in 2022. Congratulations to all.

Fellowship EGM

The outcome of the Fellowship EGM has initiated a number of changes. The report from the meeting is below.  

With the distinct possibility of this year’s 24 Hour being the last, given that the Mersey Roads Club have steadily been reaching a point where they simply no longer have and cannot get hold of sufficient human resources to run the event, then an EGM of the Fellowship was convened, as without a 24 Hour Time Trial event then the Fellowship’s own existence would lack a raison d’etre.

The Committee and other members of the Fellowship convened at the Village Hall in Hilton in late March. Also present was Jon Williams of the Mersey Roads Club.

Gratifyingly, Jon Williams was able to report that at last, after many appeals, a group of individuals had come forward with a robust enough proposal of support and involvement to at least secure the event’s future in the short to medium term. Further information will be forthcoming, Jon said, in due course.

With this information, the members present voted that the Fellowship should continue. We are currently, however, in need of a new president/chairman.

The members also heard that the Fellowship’s Journal continued to lack an editor since the sad loss of long-time editor John Taylor. Pete Bishop of Exeter Wheelers volunteered to take over the role.

The Fellowship’s Long Distance Competition has long been looked after by Tim Carpenter. However, Tim had said he’d like to relinquish the role. However, Nigel Briggs of South Pennine RC declared a willingness to take over the role.

For details of who is who and how to contact them, go to the ‘contacts’ tab above.

Future of the 24 Hour Fellowship

John Hassall has written to members about the future of the Fellowship.

2023 will be the last year the Mersey team organise the 24 hour, the only 24 hour in the calendar. John is proposing the membership meet in March to discuss the future of the 24 Hour Fellowship. If you are a member of the fellowship and have not received a letter from John then let me know (timcarpenterwork@gmail.com)

John Taylor

We are extremely sad to report that John Taylor passed away on 25 June 2022.

John produced the Fellowship magazine and wrote several books about long distance cycling.

This is a short note because in reality (in my view) no amount of words could suitable summarise John's contribution.

Photographs

As well as adding data I am also uploading photographs of riders to the site. I have added photographs of many of the 24 Hour Competition holders. Thanks go to Keith Harrod and his TT Legends web site.

Additional data

I am slowly adding more information to the web site. Currently I am adding the data collated by Charlier Robson when he was Competition Secretary. I have added the BAR Competition (and associated 24 Hour data) to the site for 1980 through to 1988 .

Updated Web Site

Like many other web sites recent changes to the various codes standards has meant that sites have stopped working. I have now rebuilt the 24 Hour Fellowship site. It now looks different and includes additional functionality

If you have any news then please e-mail us, and we can include it on the site.

2020 National 24 Hour

Regrettably the National 24 Hour has been cancelled. The scale of organisation required and the uncertainty caused by the current pandemic has meant John and Family have agreed with the CTT to cancel this year's event. The Mersey 12 Hour, which they organise will hopefully go ahead.

2018 Competition

I have collated the 2018 Result for the two 24 Hour Fellowship competition.

Senior Long Distance Bar

Michael Broadwith's 24.91mph last year was truly phenomenal. Andy Jackson's ride was comparable for the season given that no one else managed to beat an average speed of 24mph. Having said that the fight for second place was ridiculous with 0.03mph covering three riders.

Once again Crystal was the top lady.

What is noticeable this year is how the 100 mile TT times have not made any real difference to the overall result, although morally should Christina Mackenzie be placed higher than Chris Hopkinson because her 24 hour distance was 70 miles greater, while she lost out by the 100 mile time difference.

The full result is:

Posn	Name	Club	24 Hour Distance	12 Hour Distance	100 Mle Time	Average Speed
1	Andy Jackson	AeroCoach	530.61	284.58	03:35:01	24.58 mph
2	Nick Clarke	Lovelo Cinelli RT	505.89	276.24	03:48:49	23.44 mph
3	Peter Hooper	Eastbourne Rovers CC	475.31	291.91	03:49:26	23.43 mph
4	Victor Chetta	Arctic Tacx RT	486.41	291.87	03:53:59	23.41 mph
5	Doug Hart	Ilkley CC	492.94	277.68	03:54:48	23.08 mph
6	Crystal Spearman (W)	NOPINZ	445.08	269.24	04:04:58	21.82 mph
7	Chris Hopkinson	Richmond CC	360.00	254.65	03:55:41	20.56 mph
8	Christina Mackenzie (W)	Stirling Bike Club	431.64	256.28	04:28:56	20.55 mph
9	Philip Wade	Green Jersey RT	422.75	241.68	04:29:55	19.99 mph
10	Martin Arundel	Verulam CC	385.04	237.27	04:10:50	19.91 mph
11	Lynne Biddulph (W)	Born to Bike - Bridgtown Cycles	397.74	255.49	04:35:49	19.87 mph
12	Ray Retter	Born to Bike - Bridgtown Cycles	345.53	243.61	04:23:51	19.15 mph

17	Michael Hutchings	Harrogate Nova CC	353.48	209.07	04:40:23	17.85 mph
18	Dave Pemberton	Born to Bike - Bridgtown Cycles	321.68	219.21	04:48:28	17.49 mph
19	Geraint Catherall	Anfield BC	338.02	171.49	06:12:55	14.82 mph

Veteran's Long Distance BAR

The Veteran's competition had 14 finishers. Because of the GDPR issue I do not have dates of birth for riders so this year I have used their age for the 24 hour as the base for calculating their pluses. From previous two years there has only been one finisher whose age changed during the season. I am not sure, but I think Andy Jackson's plus 6.74mph is a record (the previous bests were Greg Woodford's 6.47mph and Ray Retter's 6.31mph)

Posn	Name	Club	24 Hour Distance	12 Hour Distance	100 Mle Time	Std Plus Speed
1	Andy Jackson	AeroCoach	530.61	284.58	03:35:01	6.74 mph

2015 LONG DISTANCE COMPETITION REPORT

This year we only had one 24 hour event. The Mersey continued as normal but there was no “southern” 24 hour. Esther is not minded to promote again because of the difficulties of finding a sensible course with the constant road changes and building that goes on, and we are not aware that anyone is intending to promote in her place. For the time being we go back to a single 24 hour event each year. This does reduce the number of potential finishers for the two competitions.

I have tabulated the finishers’ for the last five years below:

	24 Hour Finishers	Long Distance Competition Finishers	Veteran Long Distance Competition
2015	64	15	11
2014	86	33	27
2013	68	22	19
2012	81	21	16
2011	124	39	33

The 124 for 2011 was individuals who competed so if you rode two 24s you only counted once

When you take out the years when there were two 24 hours the number of finishers is reasonably consistent. However, it does seem to be that more and more 24 Hour competitors are interested in ultra distances rather than competing in the traditional set of Time Trials. We have had the lowest number of finishers in either competition for many years and I hop that this is not a trend.

However, the quality of rides is not diminishing. Over 63% of the finishers in the competition had an average speed over 20 mph, this compares to just 42% last year.

Senior Long Distance Bar

Stuart Birnie once again takes top spot with an average speed of over 23 miles an hour. He beat last year’s winner Gregory Woodford’s 23.194 miles an hour and indeed improved on his own winning speed of 23.21 mph for 2013. Alex Kirk was second and Chris Hopkinson third yet again. Chris improved his time from last year to over 22mph. Lynne Taylor/Biddulph was the top lady (yet) again. There appears to be no one to challenge Lynne. The full result is:

Veteran’s Long Distance BAR

The Veteran’s competition had 11 finishers. Chris Hopkinson improved his plus mph, but the +/- mph was far short of Greg Woodford’s 6.47 and Ray Retter’s 6.31 mph of last year. Lynne Biddulph was again top lady Vet, although she dropped to fourth overall from last year’s third. Despite the small number we did have two teams: RN&RMCA and Born to Bike.

2010 Competition Result

Rob Dulson won the Senior Long Distance competition with some fine rides to finish with just over evens for his average mph. Graham Jones was second and Karl Austin third. Overall 22 qualified for the competition which is three down on last year, but still shows a healthy number compared to the low of 2008. Quite a few people had complained about the bad weather early in the year and as if to prove this the majority of average mphs are lower than the previous year.

The competition for Veterans also had slightly fewer finishers than last year. Rob Dulson won the competition with the best plus mph. Jim Hopper moved up to second this year. Karl Austin picked up third spot.

There were no teams finishing this year.

39 finishers in the 24 Hour did not complete rides at 12 hours or a 100 miles. Of the incomplete sets I must mention Mark Rose. Having written out asking for confirmation of the rides, Mark emailed me back to say that this was his first season racing. I am not sure I would have entered a 24 Hour in my first season.

Long Distance BAR Update

The Michael Rainton is the first rider to submit his claim for the Long Distance Competition. I have written out to all those who finished the 24 with a provisional result and asking those who I could not find all three qualifying distances if they had actually completed rides at all three distances.

Long Distance BAR Competition

With the first riders completing the three qualifying distances for the Long Distance competition I thought might be fun to see where we are. I have listed bellow the finishers of the "24" and their current results (obtained from the CTT web site). If you have not entered a hundred then you are out of the competition, unless of course I have missed their result. There is the ECCA and WCTTCA & LTTCA 12s this Sunday (22nd) and there is still time to enter the KCA 12 Hour on 5 September.
