Result 26th June 2010
Flying Monkeys.
With a high class group of riders rolling out of the start village today (down town Keighley) it was going to be a fast mornings Caferace.
These Riders including Tour de France rider Gez Hunt Cervelo Test team hoping to pick up some tips from the Caferacers ,Super Sid and Tom Barras with over 1000 wins between them ,Yanto Barker and of course Oxenhope rider James Sargent.All having travelled up especially to compete in todays Caferace the highlight of their season and also taking in some chipper race the following day the UK National Champs or something. Anyway back to the important Stuff.
The action never really got going until the climb before the Duck Pond with Giz Hunt forcing the pace pressing hard on the pedals to pull off all the Chasing riders one by one he was soon joined by Giles the only rider that he didn't pull off, but it wasn't long before he was soon back in the group as most riders didn't want him pulling off on the front again with his hard on the pedal action.
Up the hill past the angel a small group managed to get it up, and pull off the front, but by the finishing straight they were all back together and a mad dash for the finish was on the table.
Yanto went too early prematurely sitting up allowing a Flying James Rushton to Pull Himself off the front to take his first ever CafeRace win.
2nd Sid Barras.
3rd Yanto Barker.

Result 29th May 2010
Saturday morning saw the group meet in Keighley
under a rainy and grey sky, with a poor turnout from the fair weather riders. I rode over from Ilkley with Billy from
Dirtwheels questioning whether it would be a good idea or not – but wasn’t too
cold once on the move.
We rode into Skipton with the usual anticipation of what might lay ahead. I found
We rode into Skipton with the usual anticipation of what might lay ahead. I found
myself at the front riding through Skipton. Joel from Chevin rode at a strong pace
up the hill, so I decided
to sit on his wheel see if the legs were going to coope
rate.
As we rode over the by
pass roundabout I looked around to see there was 4 of us in the clear, a lad in
black kit was hammering it and it was a little keen for my liking so sat in a bit, after getting shouted at I went to the
front and I slowed it up a little allowing others to get back on the group.
After a bit of swapping around, riders doing turns to keep the
pace up we cornered slowly on the slippery tarmac past the
duck pond, with Lloyd going some strong turns. The group
settled down as it does over the few bumps and along to the sprint section. I sat on
Lloyd and Richard as it seemed like a good plan. I noticed Richard looking around a bit
saying “who is this bugger sat on”. I kept an eye right to spot any attackers, and just as i
relaxed Mick Day came through with a real turn of
speed, luckily someone shouted – i was in the right gear so jumped after him, no
one followed and i put my head down and managed t
o get past Mick before the sign. Lloyd was 3rd.
Thanks Johnny Ratcliffe for the write up
2nd Mick Day
3rd Lloyd K

Team Rayleigh reach season Goal.
Have you ever wondered how Tom Barras (pictured above) got in to Cycling? NO well you can read his life story at www.tomslifestory.com
The first to attack up the hill out of Skipton was Mark (look how strong I am Scotts brother) Twaites and got a nice cuddly gap at the top he was soon joined by Mad Seth. but Richard and Matt were having on of it bringing them back in to the dwindling bunch.
Then up the climb before the Duck pond he was at it again guess who? yep it was Mark (look how strong I am Scotts brother) Twaites and manager to shrink the bunch more so.
Up the hill past the Angel 12 year old Joe Mosses had a wonderful attack and looked like he may of made the move of the day until. yep until Mark (look how strong I am Scott brother) Twaites chased him down.
Then at Flasby more Mad Seth was at it again but this time going solo but was chased down by local boy la Joel.
Yet again the group settled down for a sprint.
Tom Sids lad Barras took the win with a little help from a big red truck that Jonny Ratcliffe ordered from www.hireabigredtrucksonoonecancomeroundyou.com. Richard clawed is way into 2nd follow by local Internet tycoon Jonny Ratboy Rattcliffe.
So To recap 1st Tom Ratboy Barras
2nd Richard Harrison
3rd Jonny Ratboy Rarcliffe.

Borat rips it up.
Up the Hill Out of Skipton the new lad "Borat"aka Danny Walmsely set such mind blowing tempo that Old Tom Garwell lost his Bottle and disappeared off the back.
A few digs here and there but Borat brought them all back.
Borat was definitely on for the win until he had an unlucky mechanical at Flasby.
The group was just about to settle down for a sprint but Matt had a different idea attacking after Falsby going clear with the Jolly green giant aka Ady Rudd.
Dillon then got on the front and narrowed the gap with his awesome turn of speed.
Matt stayed clear to take the win showing he is fully recovered form his recent illness.
Then came Richard and Jough just catching a fading JGG Ady Rudd on the line.
1ST Matt
2nd Richard
3rd Jough.

Shack attack goes out for a Duck
A massive group left a windy Keighley this morning.
No really major Attacks today the group just split in the cross winds.
As the group rounded the Duck Pond Mother duck and her four duckings decided to try cross the road causing Shack to bunny hope them. Luckily no duck were hurt
Richard ended up leading out in a howling tail wind so none of the upstart Kids from Glendene could get round anyone on there kids gears in the 38 mph sprint finish
1st Jough
2nd Mick Day
