Cat has just returned from Tarifa, Spain.  While she was there Cat was checking out a retreat location for future fitness camps.  The camps will vary between one to two week long, fitness focused retreats.  Emphasis will be on outdoor fun fitness, creating healthy dietary habits, and exploring the gorgeous countryside and beaches.  The accommodations are within a beautiful, spacious house, high on the hills in Tarifa.  Rooms can be shared or single, depending upon preference.  Ideally we would like to organize our first outing in September, but we need to hear from you if this of interest to you.  So, contact us as soon as possible, IF you are at all interested as space is limited.  This is just to show us interest, this is not a commitment at this point.  For more information, please see our website or feel free to contact us for a chat.

Have you considered Acupuncture?

Have you considered Acupuncture?

With brighter longer days, spring is finally here and for most people the warm, sunny weather is a welcome change to the season. However, for 20% of the UK population who suffer from hay fever, the irritating symptoms of the allergy will make for a miserable time of year. Hay fever and other summer allergies such as prickly heat often leave sufferers reaching for tissues.

Acupuncture has been used in China and other eastern cultures to restore vitality and alleviate the symptoms of allergic reactions for over 2,500 years. By inserting fine needles into the channels of energy which run underneath our skin, an acupuncturist can stimulate the body’s own healing response and help restore its natural balance.
Clare Agnew acupuncturist and BAcC member explains how it can help: “Acupuncture is great for the symptoms of hay fever and all kinds of allergic conditions due to the significant effect it has on modulating the immune system. In the case of hay fever, it is often aggravated by a pathogen (referred to as ‘Wind’ in Chinese Medicine) which causes problems in the respiratory system, and acupuncture uses needles to restore the normal functioning of this system. Hay fever and other allergies like prickly heat and chlorine allergy therefore respond very well to this treatment”.

Acupuncture can also help put a spring back in your step and revitalise your energy levels. If you’ve been feeling run-down and lethargic, brush away those winter cobwebs with acupuncture to provide an energy boost for the new season.

50 Mile Flat Reliability Ride

On Sunday, 16 January, the High Wycombe CC 50 mile flat reliability bike ride was held.  The weather was not as nice as the weatherman said it would be, but then again…when is it?  With gail force winds and intermittent rain the first group took off at 9:00 am sharp.  The event started and finished in Princes Risborough.

Last year’s Tour of Wales Team (Gareth Batson, James Norris and Clive Nichols) took off with the first group of fast riders…Wycombe’s own elite cyclist Steve Golla among them.  Needless to say, the pace was brutal.  The second group fast, but smart enough not to try and keep up with group 1, took off minutes later, and then finally the third group…) those of us that have not even seen our bikes over the holidays, took off last. This group consists of some of this year’s hopefuls for the Three Up Time Trial including Cynergy’s own Cat Batson, along with Becky, Charlotte and Sarah.

After a long grueling ride, group 1 finished the ride in about 2 hours and 15 minutes.  Group 2 came in about 2 hours and 50 minutes, while the last group limped in at about 3 hours and 10 minutes.  The first group, aside from the obvious blinding pain at holding the speeds they were in the wind, managed to make it back unscathed, as did the second group.  Sadly, one rider in group 3 touched a wheel and came down rather hard.  After a brave attempt to get back on her bike and try to complete the effort, the adrenlin was not enough to carry her on, so she had to abandon the ride with about 15 miles to go.  Cat and Richard stayed behind to help sort things out and then had to hit time trial mode in order to catch the group…sadly Richard had to do the hard work as he is bigger and stronger than me, oh and he knew the way back:-).  Thanks for that Richard!  You are an absolute star!

So well done everyone for the first High Wycombe Reliability Ride of the season!  Two weeks to go and we’ll be doing it all over again…but with hills this time!

TOUR of WALES

Gareth & the 4 man team from High Wycombe cycling club are now in their final preparation for the Tour of Wales cycle race or Ras de Cymru as it’s also known.

With that in mind Gareth is now on a strict diet to rip down to his racing weight. He is now on week 2 of the diet & has so far lost 7lbs or 3kg! All this in 7 days.

Keep checking in to see how the preparation is going & also to follow his blogs during race week.

James & Gareth Attack in a build up race at Goodwood!

 Friday 18th June

Today I had an NLP session (neuro-linguistic programming) with Craig Thompson to help me get in the right head space for the race. What a fantastic session! We worked on removing any negative issues & doubts I have. So far I feel much more positive. I would highly recommend this to anyone with a big goal ahead of them. Bring on June 30th!

 Sunday 27th June.

For those that are interested apart from my daily updates during the Ras, results

can be found on www.cadencecycleracing.co.uk. Now off for a final light training ride before England V Germany!

Wednesday 30th June.  Stage 1 – Prologue

There was a slight course change which played into the Team’s hand nicely.  Team Leader, Clive Nicholls, found himself in Yellow after the first stage.  So the Team is happy, and it’s a job well done.

Thursday 1st July.  Stage 2 – Hilly Road Race

Due to mechanical problems, Gareth Batson lost quite a bit of time on this stage.  The rest of the boys finished in the bunch, narrowly avoiding a big crash.  Clive just losing the jersey by 13 seconds to the stage winner.  Will keep you posted.

Friday 2nd July.  Stage 3 – Team Time Trial

Although this was the focus for the Team, Gareth started with a very tight chest and, unfortunately, was dropped on the first big climb.  But overall, the Team went on post a good time with the only three remaining members.

                                   Stage 4 – Hilly Road Race

Sadly, Gareth has abandoned the race at the top of the first major climb with respiratory problems.  Clive, James and Tom went on to complete a very tough stage.  Well done Team!

Stage 5 : Road Race

This was probably the toughest stage of the race. 2 climbs both of 3km plus. Tom attacked hard on the first climb and forced a break but unfortunately the leader of the race was too strong & beat Tom over both climbs. Tom ended up finishing in the front group with Clive in a bigger group a few minutes back. James found this stage very tough & ended up losing 20 plus minutes finishing in the final group on the road with anyone behind being disqualified for falling below the time cut-off.

Stage 6: Flat Road race with mountain top finish.

This race has really taken it’s toll with only 83 out of the original 102 riders starting!

The bunch stayed together for the first 10 miles then both Tom & Clive attacked with Tom yet again forcing a break, this was however dragged back by the start of the climb which was very windy & wet. The yellow jersey wearer Mike Smith of Team Corley cemented his lead with a very convincing final stage win with Tom finishing first of the Wycombe team. Clive & James finished together a little way down.

The final General Classification placings for the team are : Tom Crouch 28th @8mins 19 sec down

  • Clive Nicholls 46th @ 16mins 11 secs
  • James Norris 73rd @ 38mins 9 secs
  • Gareth Batson DNF.

All of the team would very much like to thank Scott ( team manager) for his superb support during the race. Also Gordon & Margaret Wright (High Wycombe CC club president & secretary respectively) for coming down for the whole race & also giving much needed support.

Gareth’s final comment:

Although I’m very disappointed to have had to pull out with my breathing issues (yet to be diagnosed) it was a great experience. I really must give my congratulations to Tom, Clive & James for completing a very hard stage race! As  individuals & as a team we will now be looking for our next racing challenges….watch this space!
