Thanks to Mark Fairhurst, Bath CC now have a new BCC Ride Sign-up App, this is going live this week. Please no longer use the old system.
The myriad of advantages of the new Web App are
- The sign-up to ALL club rides are accessible in one place
- Riders can both sign up AND remove their name from rides
- One click sign-up and one click removal, no more typing in your name and clicking NEXT several times.
- Guest riders can sign up to a ride but for security purposes do not see names of other riders on the ride.
- Names of riders on the ride can only be seen by members of Bath CC who have a login.
- Ride Leaders can easily add rides and set their own routes
- Ride leaders have access to phone numbers and emergency contact details of riders on their ride.
- Riders can add notes such as “Meet at top of Bannerdown”, that are all linked to the ride.
- No EXCUSE not to sign-up early as you can always remove your name – this encourages others to sign up and ensure that rides go ahead.
A full description and FAQs can be found at
The Web App can be accessed on your phone and computer by using this address
There are instructions in the description of how to save a shortcut to your phone – so you should only need to use this address once.
The App was successfully trialled with the Friday Ladies ride and 18 riders signed up for 3 different rides, so now its up to the wider club members to use it.
This week we have
- Tuesday Social Ride
- Wednesday Social Ride
- Wednesday Hills
- Saturday social – 25 and 40 miler
- Pacelines
- Sunday Rides
- Monthly Mountain Bike ride
The rides are all populated with routes and ride leaders and ready for sign up.
All rides until the end of the year are on the planner, so you can sign up to as many as you want. Routes and ride leaders will be added nearer the date, January rides will be added on 1st December.
Can I PLEASE ask you all to create a login (it only takes a minute) and sign up to rides early, especially this week when it is all new (i.e. NOW), you can always remove your name if circumstances change.
We will be updating the Bath CC website over the next few days with all this information.
A big thank you to Mark Fairhurst for all his hard work, This will make the sign up and ride planning process so much easier and get more people out riding.
An incredibly strong field turned up to the start line of the Bath CC Regional A Road Race ready to take on 8 laps of the Stowey circuit. With 78% of the riders in the field being 2nd category and 44 of the 80 under 23, everyone believed they had a chance of winning the race. The weather was perfect and everything was set for a blistering fast race.
The race was deneutralised on the ascent of Stowey – Tom Williams of NoPinz Motip Race Team (and also 2nd claim Bath CC) attacked from the gun, opening up a 15 second lead. A small group containing Archie Cross of Bristol RC and Ben Stockdale of Cotswold Cycles RT tried to bridge across but could not close the gap. The peloton were a further 25 seconds behind.
At the end of the first lap Tom was caught by 3 riders, this slowly increased as Ben Millar of Primera-TeamJobs, Ewan Warren of Mid Devon CC and Joe Griffiths of SCOTT Racing also made the juncture. By the end of the 2nd lap the break had grown to 11 and the gap had increased to a minute. With the major teams of Nopinz Motip Race Team, Primera-TeamJobs, Cotswold Cycles RT and Foran CCC being represented, it was up to the individuals in the chasing pack of 50 riders to coordinate themselves.
The leading group had the 73 Degrees KOM competition to think about and Ben Millar, Ben Stockdale and Tom Williams shared the points on Laps 1 and 3 after which Ben Stockdale had a small lead over Tom with Ben Millar in 3rd.
The lack of coordination in the bunch meant that the gap kept extending by 20 seconds a lap until it reached a peak of just over 2 minutes after 5 laps. A few riders tried to bridge across Matthew Clayton of Bath Uni tried on lap 2 and got close, Will Duffy of Bath CC was out in front for a lap with a 25 second lead – but still 20 seconds behind the leading group.
The 73 Degrees KOM competition was still going on with points every other lap. Ben Millar obviously decided that this was his competition and took maximum points on the 5th and 7th laps to win this competition with 21 points ahead of Ben Stockdale on 17.
After 5 laps the break started to look at each other and slowed from 14min 15 second laps (43km/hr) to 15minute laps(40km/hr). The peloton increased their speed and started to close the gap,and by the end of the 7th lap they were only one minute behind and closing rapidly.
The breakaway kept on pushing on the final lap and still held their minute advantage going into the final corner and heading up Stowey for the 9th time.
Tom Williams held his nerve and power and finished with a devastating burst of over 10 w/kg for the last 70 seconds to take the win in a time of 1 hr 59min 12 secs (line to line) from Ewan Warren Mid Devon CC in 2nd place, Ben Millar Primera-TeamJobs in 3rd and Irfan Zaman Spirit BSS in 4th. Alexandre Touche of Pontypool RCC and Scott Redding of SRCT MUC-OFF made a push from the Peloton to almost catch the break but came up a few seconds short.
Matthew Gilmour Velo Club Venta, Will Duffy Bath Cycling Club and Morgan Curle Pronto Bikes were the strongest of the bunch and finished 14th, 15th and 16th respectively.
A strava effort comparison for 8 laps of Stowey – Morgan Curle is the black line and represents the bunch.
I have looked back at the history of races that have been run on this circuit and using strava data from the 8 Laps of Stowey, it would appear that this is the quickest ever race up Stowey, just under 2 minutes quicker than 2019 and a full 6 1/2 minutes quicker than the National B’s from 2016 (it has to be said that they were 10 lap races and raced in March).

Not only was it an incredibly fast race, but also strength in depth with 55 of the 75 starters making it to the finish within touching distance of the front of the race – Congratulations to all who took on the race.
Foran CC won the team competition with 51 points just ahead of Primera-TeamJobs with 54 points

Today, a field of 34 female starters women set out on the Stowey circuit to compete for the win. Thank you to our Sponsors Abel + Imray, NoPinz Motip Race Team, Pronto Bikes and 73 degrees we were able to offer a prize fund of over £1,000. With £250 prize money up for grabs for first place, and an equal distance to the men’s race in the morning, there was a very strong field of female riders, including previous national road race champion – Jo Tindley.
In the burning heat, the relentless grind up Stowey Hill 8 times over was no easy feat, and the front bunch did fantastically to maintain consistent lap times, ranging from approx. 16-18 minutes per lap throughout the whole race.
The riders finished their first lap as 1 practically complete group, the QOM points at the top of the climb were taken by Jessica Finney of CAMS-BASSO. This acceleration started what can only described as a form of erosion, leaving a leading bunch of around 16 women as others gradually dropped off the back during lap 2.
By the beginning of lap 3, the front group was 1 minute and 30 seconds ahead of the other riders – a lead which only expanded to become 2 minutes 10 seconds by the end of the lap. During lap 3, rider 37 (Miriam Bullock of Grinta Coaching) from the front bunch was dropped behind the commissarie’s car, but put in an almighty effort to rejoin the front group, closing at least a 150m solo.
Yet despite this effort to catch the pack, Miriam was dropped again from the bunch during lap 4, along with Laura Senior representing team Laka Pedal Mafia RT
Yet both put out some hefty power and closed down more than 250m to hunt down the leading riders before yet another bash up Stowey Hill.
In spite of (or perhaps because of) the sheer effort required to rejoin the front bunch for a second time, Miriam was dropped again at the top of Stowey Hill. Having gasped between sharp intakes of breath on the previous lap that she “couldn’t keep up” this chasing for much longer, I thought this could be it for her. But it was not so! They pulled out yet another thrashing effort to rejoin the bunch and – amazingly – were successful at doing so.
Yet on the 5th climb up ‘ol Stowey Hill, Miriam was finally dropped by the leading bunch for good. After showing stellar resilience and pure, grit-teethed determination, it seemed that she had finally blown up after 3 rounds of chasing. But what power and perseverance she left out on that road. Jessica Finney of CAMS Basso made it 3 wins out of 3 on the QOM – and was guaranteed a win in that competition.
Laura was also dropped on the climb, along with Bianchi rider Tamsin Miller, who’s hopes of success were unfortunately scuppered by a gear-related mechanical as she ground almost to a halt up the steep ascent whilst the bunch pulled excruciatingly away.
Lap 6 saw the leading bunch – now reduced to 12 – secure a 4 minute lead over the remaining bunch of chasers, with Miriam and Rosie Wayland of FTP-Fulfil The Potential-Racing appearing to struggle towards the end of the lap.
True to this, the beginning of lap 7 Jessica’s efforts in the QOM competition saw her join Rosie, and Finish Line RT’s Bexie & Miriam Jessett just off the back of the front of the bunch.
The group worked together to bring back a rapidly extending gap, catching the bunch just on the approach to Stowey Hill bottom, ahead of the final lap.
On the 7th time up Stowey, Ella Maclean-Howell of Tofauti Everyone Active took the final QOM win to finish in 2nd place 1 point behind Jessica.
Lap 8 saw Bexy Dew, off the back of the front group for good, despite her best efforts to try and stay with them up Stowey Hill. Her teammate 51, however, managed to say with the bunch for the remainder of the race, making her and Bexy’s earlier team effort worth while. At this point, the leading bunch had a 6 minute and 30 sending lead on the remainder of the bunch, with 8 riders comprising the group. Team Brother London’s Lucy Lee and Alex Morrice headed the front of the race during the final lap, hinting their intention to maintain such positions across the finish line.
During the final climb to the finish line – one last push up the mammoth (by this time mountainous) Stowey Hill – the group remained together. We waited for someone to pounce – but they remained calm. Only halfway up did the inkling of positions become apparent, with Alex Morrice leading the group by a margin. But by the final corner, the podium positions were clear as day, with Alex maintaing first place, from Jo Tinfley in 2nd place and junior Ella Maclean-Howell of Tofauti Everyone Active . Lucy Lee slid down the group as they approached the top of the hill, having done her bit to assist Alex in getting the win.
They crossed the line, welcomed by cheering and applaud, and Alex Morrice won her first National road race.
With two riders in the top 10, Pro-Noctis – Rotor – Redchilli Bikes presented by Heidi Kjeldsen won the “NoPinz Motip Race Team” team competition. A battling performance by Amy Marks of Team LDN – Brother UK helped them to second place with the fighting performances of all three of the LAKA Pedal Mafia RT team Laura Senior, Marie-Louise Kertzman and Penny Colloff secured 3rd place.
All the women did fantastically to set such a high standard of racing on this brutal course in such sweltering weather conditions, and it was a pleasure to witness this safe, powerful race from the commisaire’s car.
Congratulations to every participant – recover well from that leg basher!

In a sport which has made headlines in recent years for mens races having more prize money than womens races, Abel + Imray are proud to fund the prizes for the womens race, with the goal of helping to develop womens cycling in the region. Abel + Imray are a local firm of patent and trade mark attorneys who champion diversity and inclusivity in everything we do.
The mens race in the morning has a full field of 80 riders and with over 75% of them 2nd category riders and more than half U23 and Junior it should make for a very fast exciting race.
There are almost 50 riders in the Women’s race and we have managed to attract a star studded field including last years National Champion Jo Tindley. There are riders from the following teams
