Thames Trial Head, Sunday 31st Jan 2010

Thames Trial Head, Sunday, 31st January, 2010.

Wightlink sponsored Ryde Rowing Club competed in their first pre-season Head Race at the weekend (Sunday, 31st January) travelling to the 2012 Olympic Regatta venue at Dorney Lake, Eton to race in the Marlow Rowing Clubs Trial Head.

This is a time trial, over the full 2000m course, with crews starting at fifteen second intervals, in three divisions with races for all categories, including Veterans and Juniors and in all boat types. With over five hundred crews and Scullers competing this is one of the largest events of this type held in the country and racing is of a very high standard.

Ryde entered a coxless quad of Mick Jenner, Russell Page, Tom Clark and Nick Pike who raced in the intermediate category in division two and their time of six minutes and forty-four seconds gave them  victory over what was admittedly fairly limited opposition. Three of this crew then competed in Division 3 in the Veteran C section and achieved an impressive set of result with Nick Pike finishing first in a time of seven minutes fifty-five seconds, just half a second ahead of Mick Jenner in second place û with the third Ryde sculler û Russell Page finishing 3rd in a time of eight minutes four seconds. Allan Evans also competed in this division in a single, in the Veteran F category and also won his event, although once again the opposition was limited.

Nine Club Juniors also competed û a J14 Boys development crew of Harvey Kirkby, Andreas Hicks, Harry Batchelor and Max Reeve, with Dale Buckett coxing raced in a coxed quad in Division 2û a first race at this level for most of them. They finished in 11th place in a time of nine minutes and seven seconds in this very competitive section. The more established Boys J14 Crew of Max Reeve, Sam Corney, Dave Buckett and Christian Lacey with Bryony Reeve coxing raced in Division three û but in the same event, finishing in 6th place with a time of eight minutes thirty-nine seconds. Holly Evans and Bryony Reeve completed the Ryde team û racing in division two in the Girls J16 double scull where they finished in 9th place, in another very competitive event with a time of ten minutes forty-three seconds.
