Mick Hazlewood Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Tomorrow, Sat 23rd May on the K48/10 at Rugeley will see Laura Lane competing in the third round of the Midland Womens tt series for the Saracen RC. Unfortunately we have no other members of the Womens Saracen tt team competing due to work and family commitments. Laura has made steady progress this season and improved on her PB in the last round held on the K41/10 at Hinckley a couple of weeks ago in quite tough conditions. Hannah Smith ( the pocket rocket ) as she has been nick named by a friend of mine in the Warwicks RC is not able to compete tomorrow but has set a new standard for Laura to beat ' 27.21 ' just last weekend also in less than favourable conditions. ( on a fixed wheel as well ). Hopefully Laura will take up the challenge. I will be there on hand to assist Laura and cheer her on and will give a full account of how she gets on tomorrow when I get back. A total of 38 womens will be racing tomorrow.

Hannah Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 Good luck Laura!! I'll be thinking of you tomorrow (from 3:08pm onwards to be precise )!!! I sincerely wish I could be there with you both and race the third event in the series (I'm very concious of my slipping down the results tables in the series!!!), but I'm really looking forward to racing with you again on the 13th June on the K33/10D - Event 4 of the Midlands Women's TT Series and I know I can claw back some points on more events held on Sundays! I hope you have a good ride and I hope you set a great time. The 'pocket rocket'!!! What a fantastic nickname!!! I'll have to thank my new found friend for that one when I see her next! And fixed wheel is certainly the setup of choice, at least for me! Worked an absolute charm! Best of luck missus and I look forward to the full report tomorrow!

JohnC Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Go Laura! Good luck tomorrow. Maybe Sundays club runners can try and come up with as good a nickname for you as 'the pocket rocket' Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Good luck Laura Great to have two such enthusiastic ladies on the racing team this season. As for the nickname, well I guess we have to go the alliteration route, so how about "Lightening Laura" or "light-speed Laura"? Maybe as she likes a drink "Lager Lout Laura" ....Perhaps not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Or maybe "The Fast Lane" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauralane Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Haha! Lager lout lane! Love it! You make me laugh :D Me and Mick have just done our warm up round the course and it's quite a hilly one! He is making his way to the start line now, and I've got an hour to be nervous!! At least it's not windy! Thanks for your support x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Hazlewood Posted May 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I sure a number of you are waiting for the result to be put up for todays latest instalment of the battle between the Pocket Rocket and and the Fast Lane. ( yes I like that nick name the best as well ) Well I have got to say seeing Laura in action this afternoon showed a lot of grit and determination which was rewarded with yet another PB !! I went and stood at the top of the climb to give her a good shout of encouragment which was greeted with a grunt and a grimiss whilst breathing through her ass. Certainly not an easy day on what I would call a sporting course but to improve on her previous best of 28.36 was a great ride. OK I know you want to know her time. With a certain amount of disapointment to herself she recorded a new PB of 28.15. A cracking ride on a hard course and it will be very interesting when the girls meet head to head on the 13th of June for there next battle. Ok Hannah you can relax now I sure you have been hipper all day ( nothing unusual there ) but it is going to be close in the next one I'm sure. And so the battle goes on, can't wait for the next instalment. Well Done Laura. I would just like to add that I had some competition afterwards from Laura eating cakes, but she finally cracked. I think the score was 8 cakes to me and 6 to Laura. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Barker Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 Absolutely fantastic yet again Laura. Consecutive PB’s you can’t get better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Well done Laura. Love the way Mick is building up the future battles. Forget Wiggins Froome or Federer Nadel, we have the pocket rocket and the fast lane to look forward to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisKENT Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Very well done Fast LANE! Another gritty performance from one of our young Lady performers!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Apolgoies for the late post! I've been away from home the last two days with limited internet access! I have managed to catch up with Laura and Mick over the weekend (via text and in person respectively) but I wanted to reiterate my thoughts here too! While breathing a temporary sigh of relief knowing that the Fast Lane hasn't beaten my PB (yet!!!), I am over the moon that she has beaten her own. Very proud of my team mate! Well done Lau - fab effort on what I hear is a ruddy tough course! I would be lying if I said I wasn't sincerely looking forward to our next meet at the K33! I think both of being in the same event is going to have quite the impact on our times!!!! Now Fast Lane... about racing some 25's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
