17 September 2016 OMA 10
Well, what can we say about this years OMA 10. The breakfast was
delicious in good company, giving everybody time to reminisce however the
event itself which was best forgotten. The overcast morning decided to
deposit rain onto the field of 9 riders just before the start. Alan Rowe
immediately declared he would not ride so we were down to 8.
Debbie was first off leading the way to the turn where Kav, Stack and
Tich were marshalling. Peter Jenn turned up at the start with half a minute
to go despite the fact that he arrived in the car park before anyone else,
as he sorted himself out on the line his newly built up bike had a
'mechanical' – his saddle decided to rest on the top tube. Unperturbed
Malcolm produced his tool kit and sorted the problem out, leaving Peter to
miss his start time but he was able to go last man off. Needless to say he
did not arrive at the finish, we suspected he stopped off at the hall on the
way back.
All the riders were blown out to the turn but struggled on the way back.
A rider from the dark and distant past joined in the fun – Dave Rudd –
who produced a personal best 10 time – I should add that 10 mile time trials
did not exist for men when Dave hung up his wheels – they did not enter the
event programmes until 1972.

Timekeepers were Tony & Val Peachey – Pushers off Mike Peel, Roy Savery
and Malcolm Adams, clearly were not overworked.

Tony and I left home to drive to the
event with a hint of mist in the air, but we were confident that the
emerging sun would soon melt this away, and true to form it did. We placed
the Cycle Event Signs around the course and made our way back to Lenham
Community Centre – the meeting point.
However, fate was
to take another twist to this event for this year. We had 6 riders gathered
together on what was now a brilliantly sunny, warm morning with little wind.
After much deliberation the consensus of opinion was that they all wanted to
ride a standard 10 mile event rather than a 15. So, being as we were only
there to serve, that is what we delivered.
The group of six
were Mick and Debbie Valentine, Chris Cowlard who had only ridden 900 miles
in the last year having spent time renovating a house for his daughter in
Wales as well going off sailing once again, Dave Haggart riding his new bike
which he had built up the day before and hadn't had time to try it out on
the road, plus Richard Preece and Adrian Bond both riding their first time
trials. Adrian had travelled down by train to Lenham arriving just in time
for the activities.
Everyone signed
on and collected their respective numbers – marshals in the shape of Kav,
Tich, Stack and Alan were despatched to the turn resplendent in yellow
jackets whilst Tony and I made our way up to the start. We had to make a
minor adjustment to the start point as a huge articulated lorry had parked
right on the painted line. Whilst I time kept Tony pushed the riders on
their way. When we arrived at the finish point we had to adjust the finish
point to accommodate the distance lost at the start by the parked lorry.

In our normal
fashion we later decamped to the café Lenham Square for breakfast.
Interestingly I was the first to arrive here and place an order where I
mentioned that I was heading a group of around 12 and that we would sit
ourselves outside in the sunshine. At this the proprietor declared you
better get out there quick as a group of cyclists were descending – when I
mentioned that was the group with me he was quite pleased he hadn't said
anything derogatory !!!
