S40 Local - Autumn 2011

Introduction

H

ere we are at the Autumn edition, a joint one for September / October – designed to give me a bit of time off whilst the kids are off school. Well that was the theory before someone decided it would be a good idea to organise a Chatsworth Road festival!

word!! We’re hoping the businesses and shops don’t change their window displays too much over the next month as it’s written and ready to go ‐ but if they do, please accept our apologies! Anyway your answers will be entered into a prize draw and prizes include Discovery Tickets for Chatsworth House, tea pot painting at T Potts and we’re hoping some of the cafés will donate some vouchers – once we get chance to go and ask them!

I’ve been so busy with the organising group and pulling everything together for this edition that I was tempted to put FOR SALE : 1 x LOCAL MAGAZINE ‐ I think It also seems to be birthday month, I’m only joking! not for me, but for Koo who So, Festival time is creeping up on celebrates 5 years, Mode 2 years, us, 1‐9 October, and in this edition merely a baby, as the Peak District we’ve got a full listing of all the National Park hits the grand age of events – 7 pages of them. We’ve had 60 years! Happy Birthdays all round! a fantastic response from the So, back to last month – the names community and the businesses.

Some of the events that people are of the girl’s cricket team from Old Hall School got pushed off the page hosting have taken a lot of – so I’ve included the photo again on organising, so it would be great if page 68 and hopefully this time I’ve you could go along and support some of those that take your fancy. got all the names and I’ve got them right – fingers crossed!

Brampton Feast Revival?

Whilst organising the festival we’ve heard some talk about the Brampton Feast and we’d be interested to know more.

Maybe you remember the feast, were you involved, do you know what it is and do you think it would be something we’d want to revive?

If you have any information to share, please get in touch with us at S40 Local – at the usual contact details.

We’ve also written two treasure hunts/quizzes for festival week to encourage you to get out of your car and walk up and down the road – perhaps visiting some of the places you’ve never been to. There’s a grown ups quiz with clues that you need to search out, and a kids one where they have to find letters in shop windows, that make up a Page 2 • www.s40local.co.uk

Staying on the sporting theme – we’ve got a feature this month on Matt Sumpton, you’ll know how much I enjoyed this interview when I tell you he’s the national junior mountain bike champion and he lives in Walton! His interview is on page 70, however since doing the interview he’s been in touch to say that he was involved in a large crash at the start of the race in Switzerland and unfortunately broke his collar bone and will be off his bike for about 5 weeks. It does seem though that you’re not a pro cyclist until you’ve broken your collar bone.

Just a quick note to wish Matt a speedy recovery, hope you’re soon back on your bike.

To finish off – I hope to see many of you at the Festival events. There’s no way I’ll be at them all, but I’m going to try and get to as many as I can manage … unless I sleep right through them all.

Have a good month.

Paul.

Make it yours.

Happy 5th Birthday Koo

K

oo Bistro and Coffee Bar is now celebrating its 5th birthday.

Before coffee culture took off in the UK, Jason and Donna Charlesworth of Koo had nurtured the idea of creating a unique and original coffee shop which would draw people from the area; a place to chat with friends or colleagues; or to simply spend time with a drink and a tasty bite to eat.

As their children grew up they often sought places that fit their vision for a coffee shop, somewhere to relax, chat and chill either alone or with friends; a place they could relax, read

shop which had previously been the home of a traditional grocer’s shop became available on Chatsworth Road.

They didn’t find a place to meet these needs so decided to select the best bits of many places they’d visited and set up their own. They spent two years travelling to shows, tasting coffee, sampling foods and wines and making notes!

475A Chatsworth Road was built in 1928 and owned by the English family up to the 1990s. The English family ran it as a traditional delicatessen and grocery business, slicing bacon, weighing specialty teas and coffees and processing dried fruits. The building was steeped in history and Jason and Donna fell in love with it.

The opportunity to turn their dream into reality arose when Donna’s career path changed.

Finding the ideal place was not easy ‐ it took three and a half years until a

Celebration Time 1 to 9 October 2011

W

hen you live somewhere, particularly if you’ve lived there a long time, it’s easy to get stuck doing the same things and take things for granted, and sometimes it takes someone from outside to point things out that are right under your nose.

That’s kind of how the Chatsworth Road Festival came about.

Di doesn’t live in Chesterfield, but was visiting her father in Somersall when she picked up an S40 Local and read about all the great shops, businesses and developments, particularly the St Thomas’ centre.

She decided to walk down the road to Dunelm Mill rather than get in the car. After coffee and cake in MesAmis and purchasing gifts in Created she’d run out of time to get to Dunelm, and suggested to Deirdre Gage, owner of Created Gallery, that we hold a festival to celebrate Chatsworth Road. She then returned home and emailed me with the same thoughts. Deirdre and I got together and decided to set something up.

The festival That was in June this year, so from a standing start the celebration brings you a great selection of events over 9 days, from the 1 – 9 October. The events are hosted by a wide reaching array of businesses, shops, community groups and institutions.

It’s not all about huge events but about recognising the things that happen day to day around us. Some are regular events that the hosts are putting on during festival week so they can open their doors and welcome new members ‐ some are special events, laid on specifically to

Page 20 • www.s40local.co.uk

celebrate the Festival and others are special festival offers.

D

erbyshire’s new Poet Laureate will be joining in with the Chatsworth Road Festival – and it will be among their first task after the launch of the new 2‐year laureateship.

Try something new It’s an opportunity for us, the community, to remind ourselves what Chatsworth Road has to offer and to perhaps try something new! If we all went along to just one event (as long as we didn’t all turn up at the same one), the festival would be a success.

It’s so secret we can’t even tell you his or her name yet! The new Derbyshire Poet Laureate has been chosen and will be officially launched on National Poetry Day, 6th October.

A few people that need a mention for helping set up events ‐ Kerry Noble for the Mini Market at Zion Church, Isobel Gibbions at Brampton Manor for what promises to be an excellent day on the 8th, Shirley Niblock and Sally‐Anne Beecham for the Food Fair at St Thomas’ new church centre and Chris Radford for the events at the Tramway Tavern. There’s also a small army of others that should be mentioned but I simply don’t have space … you know who you are.

The Derbyshire Poet Laureate project aims to promote poetry to as wide an audience as possible across the county during the 2‐year term. The poets write poetry to commission, run workshops, give readings and support creative projects of all kinds.

A true celebration.

It’s down to you

Our new Poet Laureate will be the fourth, following in the illustrious footsteps of Cathy Grindrod, River Wolton and Ann Atkinson. Ann steps down after two exciting and innovative years that have seen her work with people across Derbyshire, including a Poetry and Panini workshop in the café at Queen’s Park and even travel as far as Mamelodi in Pretoria, South Africa with other Derbyshire artists.

So now it’s over to you – if the Festival is a success we plan to do it again next year, maybe differently with more people involved – but based on learning things this year.

Please bear with us, as we haven’t done this sort of thing before and we have no funds to help us along the way so I accept that some things will go well and some won’t.

Whatever you get involved with we hope you enjoy it, we hope you experience a renewed sense of what a great place we live in and we hope you have time to let us know the things that worked and also those that didn’t.

So watch this space…

A Saturday Morning on Chatsworth Road.

By Matt Kane

W

ith the news stands proclaiming the death of the high street and the nation still recovering from an economic downturn, Chatsworth Road continues to buck the trend.

The Terminus Hotel and the old Brampton Brewery may be long gone but slowly and surely a new Chatsworth Road is taking shape.

One where new developers aren’t afraid to take a punt, where small independent shops thrive and where a group of people regularly meet in the local coffee house to knit and drink champagne.

I recently spent one Saturday morning visiting some of the best known names on Chatsworth Road, asking them all the same question.

What is it that makes Chatsworth Road great?

“Our shop is actually only five percent of what we do but, as the public face of our business, I honestly can’t think of a better place for it than Chatsworth Road.”

James Pogson Northern Tea Merchants

Page 22 • www.s40local.co.uk

“It worked out well with No 131 so we’ve taken it a stage further with The Hanger and would seek to invest more in the area should the right site come along.”

Further up Chatsworth Road another couple who know a fair bit about moving with the times are John and Pam Rhodes of Select Interiors rug shop, now in their third Chatsworth Road premises since the mid 1980s.

“A lot of people stop off on their way to Chatsworth or Manchester, call in here and ask us where they can get a coffee and then come back or explore what else is around,” says John as he points out someone who has just looked through his shop window for the third time that morning.

“What we’ve seen here is the slow development of the right sort of shops for the area, the sort of businesses that make a difference, which people will travel to and which have uniqueness about them.”

I began my pilgrimage at the new Hanger complex, perhaps the best current metaphor for the Chatsworth Road renaissance, where a tired As I venture on towards Northern Tea derelict shell has been transformed Merchants I count the number of into a state‐of‐the‐art retail complex. ‘high street’ shops on one hand amidst a plethora of independent Tim Turner, director of Blue Deer who stores. was also responsible for No 131, told me why Chatsworth Road was such a And whilst NTM director James great place to invest.

Ecclesall Road but I don’t think of it like that. It’s respectable, interesting and clever, yes, but it comes without the pretention or the extra zero at the end of the price tag.”

One word that perhaps sums up the business philosophy in the area is ‘community’, something which is not only evident as I speak with the owners of long‐standing firms Johnsons and Dansies but is equally true of some of the newcomers further west such as Koo and Nonsolovino.

Mes Amis Lounge ‐ which has been on Chatsworth Road for just over a year ‐ is another one that falls into this category. When I arrive the place is packed and owner Marcella Kirk quite literally has half‐a‐dozen things on her plate.

In the midst of serving coffee, pastries and a whole manner of other things she’s planning a whisky tasting evening to coincide with the Festival in October. And it would seem that business for her is about more than just profit margins.

“We opened here precisely because of the location, it’s a nice side of town, has quality businesses and a lovely community who don’t want to

A time of change … or perhaps not?

Past and present: Johnsons circa 1920, how similar after all these years. Brookside Bar circa 1930 when the farm was still there and the row of houses at no. 67 ‐ then and now actually pretty similar 33 years later … but no chimneys!

Page 40 • www.s40local.co.uk

What strikes me is how much change has taken place in some areas and how little in others. The 1990 picture of work starting on the petrol station shows a lot of change here – this is now the Blue Deer development at 131, whilst many of the buildings behind the tram (1904) are still there and the Terminus pub has gone completely.

The photos are available on a website called www.picturethepast.org.uk a project run by Derbyshire County Council. It contains a massive archive of old photographs of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

Happy Birthday Peak District from your friends Liz Kettle (Friends of the Peak District)

Page 42 •• www.s40local.co.uk www.s40local.co.uk Page

T

he amazing Peak District is right on Chesterfield’s doorstep.

From Stanage Edge to Dovedale, Mam Tor to the Manifold Valley, it’s a place that local people love and cherish for its beauty and tranquillity. This year, the Peak District National Park celebrates its 60th birthday. But things could easily have been very different. The landscapes we love today could be covered in roads, factories and houses.

Friends of the Peak District is the only local charity that looks after the whole of the Peak District. The charity started in 1924 as the Sheffield Association for the Protection of Local Scenery. Two people were undoubtedly the driving force behind this new movement to safeguard the countryside – the founders Gerald and Ethel Haythornthwaite. They were passionate about their work, and this was at a time when there were no green belts, no statutory planning system, and no national parks.

Today, Friends of the Peak District is still passionate about protecting and safeguarding these precious landscapes. The charity wholeheartedly supports the National Park’s purposes, but being entirely independent of government, it can also act as a critical friend to the Peak District National Park Authority. And although we are all fortunate that the Peak District benefits from planning protection, it is by no means safe from threats to its beauty and tranquillity.

Friends of the Peak District is tireless in campaigning against such threats.

Take, for instance, out‐of‐control quarrying. The charity played a key role in stopping illegal limestone quarrying carving up Longstone Edge at Backdale Quarry. It also joined local people and eco‐warriers to save Stanton Moor and the Nine Ladies Stone Circle from expanding quarrying.

The charity’s most recent Take Back the Tracks campaign is against off‐ roading 4x4s and trail bikes The charity’s first major success came destroying sensitive landscapes, and in 1931. Ancient woods and moors at it is causing quite a stir. Friends of the Longshaw were threatened by plans Peak District is teaming up with other for house‐building. The charity – now local groups, and together they are a branch of the Council for the lobbying the authorities to take Preservation of Rural England – stronger action to protect green swung into action, lobbying and lanes from off‐roading devastation.

Its efforts are beginning to have an raising funds until the Longshaw effect.

International Interest in National Park Guided Walk

By Keith Singleton, Volunteer National Park Ranger

L

ast year, I was on patrol over at Parsley Hay, approximately 8.5 miles south of Buxton, on the High Peak Trail, having a break from my usual Grindleford Eastern Edges patrol. One of my favourite patrol routes is up the High Peak Trail to the end at Dowlow, around the massive quarry, down to sleepy Earl Sterndale then over Parkhouse Hill and up to the summit of Chrome Hill. Returning back down the Dove Valley to Pilsbury Castle, over to Vincent House and on to Parsley Briefing Centre.

A round trip of approximately 13 miles!

On the way around I thought "This would make a good guided walk". Both with the spectacular hole of the quarry to look at, then the mini 'mountains' plus the remains of a Motte and Bailey castle at Pilsbury ‐ bingo, guided walk born ‐ entitled: Walk the Upper Doves’ 'Mountains'. I suggested it to the full‐time rangers back at Parsley’s Ranger Briefing Centre and received a seal of approval.

On seeing the 'mountains' for the first time from the hill next to the quarry, the walkers were impressed with the view. After the decent into Earl Sterndale and over the side of Hitter Hill, the impression of the 'mountains' changed somewhat. "Wow, they look a lot bigger now we're at the bottom of them". After a quick check to see if people still wanted to climb them, there was an overwhelming "Yes, let’s go for it”. The Dutch guys were the first to the summit, slowly followed by everyone else in dribs and drabs.

When all were at the top we had a group photo. The views down the Dove Valley towards Hartington and North West to Chrome Hill were breathtaking. The walkers were ecstatic at being on top and eagerly started the descent for a lunch stop prior to the climb of Chrome Hill. It was a slow descent for some with dodgy footwear, but all made it down safely.

With lunch eaten, it was time to climb Chrome Hill.

With our large group and another school group of small children, the top of the hill was quite crowded.

Saturday 9 July arrived and not knowing how many We walked down the hill and along the Upper Dove would turn up, we planned to have three back‐up Valley to Pilsbury Castle. We paused to look at the rangers, just in case some people didn't like the look information board about the castle (where one of of climbing the mini 'mountain' Parkhouse Hill and our Rangers made a noise like a bang, causing the the furthest away, Chrome. resting dog to jump three feet in the air ‐ with everyone in hysterics!) we set off over the hill to The weather forecast was for early showers Vincent House Farm and back to Parsley Hay, followed by warm sunshine. Off we set from the briefing centre to the cycle hire start point. It looked stopping for another group photo below the trail. quite busy, but then again, quite a few could be for Back at the cycle hire people expressed their joy of cycle hire ‐ not so! After a shout for people for the the experience of being shown the spectacular guided walk, a large crowd assembled. Looked like views and mini 'mountains' of the Upper Dove I'd backed a winner ‐ 21 people signed in and I gave a Valley.

One guy had travelled from Hampshire for the walk, returning all the way back that day on completion. A family of Mum, Dad, two boys and a Airedale dog called Archie made up the group. Everyone got on really well, asking loads of questions about the Peak District National Park and its scenery.

are 100 is the first of three new businesses opening up at The Hanger, Blue Deer’s latest development on Chatsworth Road.

Kate Spencer‐Payne and Gill Haring are the partnership behind the business, both are residents of Walton and many of you will have visited Kate’s previous business, the Peak Bookshop on Low Pavement just off the Market Place, Chesterfield. Kate and her husband ran the Peak Bookshop for 11 years and over their time at the store it became an award winning business known for their quality of service.

Unfortunately the internet has made it a difficult place for small independent book sellers to survive and after trying their best it seemed sensible to close the business down.

I’m sure many of you will find this a shame. I recall spending many hours wandering round before making my purchase.

So how do you get from a bookshop to a supplier of specialist care products?

an occupational therapist, we will always suggest they seek his or her advice (or bring them to the shop).

“It was from personal experience” Kate told me. “I spent some time caring for my mother and struggled to find products that would make her life easier and enable her to remain an independent lady in her own home.”

We have an information board and would be very happy to display information that is useful to our customers and related to our businesses.

“It’s important to maintain your independence for as long as possible and often it’s the small adaptations that make the biggest difference to your quality of life ‐ but it can sometimes be difficult to find out what items are available. As well as supplying mobility scooters and wheelchairs we stock many of the smaller items e.g easy grip cutlery and grabbers. If someone needs help with something there is usually a product available and if we don’t have it in stock, we’ll order it”

The other part of our business will be selling our products business to business. Our website www.care100.co.uk should be up and running by the time S40 Local is delivered so people can take a look at the products and services from their own home. We are always happy to advise and review what products are available to help our customers.

If you want to see how Care 100 can assist you, please go along and see them at The Hanger, 42 Chatsworth Road, where there is ample parking, disabled access and electronic doors.

NEDIAS GOES POTTY

By Matt Kane

T

he latest edition of the NE Derbyshire Industrial Archaeology Society’s Journal of research articles includes a feature on Chesterfield’s rich and proud pottery industry.

Pot making in and around the area is thought to date back to the Roman period due to the abundance of clay that runs in bands along the coal seams underground.

This latest edition of the Journal celebrates that history, focusing on the internationally renowned Pearsons’ Pottery which became known for its production of Chesterfield and Brampton Ware and, at one point, was the biggest manufacturer of stoneware in Britain.

The article, which has been written

by Chesterfield Library’s Lesley

Page 58 • www.s40local.co.uk

Phillips, also includes a number of photographs of early Brampton Pottery from the archives at Chesterfield Museum.

The Journal’s launch coincides with a joint NEDIAS and Chesterfield Civic Society talk by Brampton Pottery expert David Siddon on Tuesday, 11 October at 7.30pm in Chesterfield Library’s Lecture Theatre.

Cliff Lea, chairman of NEDIAS, explains the concept behind the Journal.

“It was just five years ago that we started to publish the 100‐page Journal so our members could see in print the result of much of the research that they had carried out into the histories of local industries.

“It is now in its fourth edition and is stocked in libraries across

Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire as well as in the National Lending Library.”

Copies of the Journal can also be purchased by contacting Cliff at info@nedias.org.uk or on 01246 234212.

Bikeability Scheme

“G

et a car” was the shout that came from the young lads as they drove past us at speed.

Hopefully this isn’t the sentiment of most drivers towards the cyclist but it shows some of what people riding bikes on our busy roads today, need to be able to deal with.

I always find it surprising that Chesterfield isn’t as cycle friendly as Nottingham ‐ perhaps it’s simply down to numbers, you see many more people cycling in Nottingham, so drivers become more used to them. Certainly, whilst cycling in Chesterfield I am given less space and have to be more on my guard.

Bikeability courses in many schools in NE Derbyshire with funding provided by the School Sports Partnerships.

The Level 2 course is aimed at those who can ride and takes you out on the road to give you real cycling experience and the ability to deal with traffic on short journeys, such as cycling to schools.

The session kicked off with a few basic checks ‐ did the brakes work, did we all have helmets that fitted correctly etc. We donned high visibility vests loaded our sandwiches into Alastair’s “Radical” cycle trailer and then we were off … after riding round the band stand in Queen’s So it was great to see a group of kids Park, it wasn’t long though before we at the Chesterfield Bikeability Scheme set off along Goytside.

Girl’s Cricket: Take 2

L

ast month I featured the girls cricket team at Old Hall. Unfortunately as I edited the final layout I accidentally caused the last two names on the team photo to be removed!

Team photo back row, Mia Everley, Gabby Barton, Terri Howard, Ashleigh Keable, Steve Lawrence, Lottie Bryant. Bottom row: Jessica Briggs, Alice Tremble, Sophie Tremble, Rebecca Moon and Ellie Sherwin.

By way of an apology, this month I’ve included the photo again and this time with all the names … hopefully!

The ‘Brewers’ - kicking off the new season Anne Nowak

N

ewly formed Brampton Brewery FC (BBFC) or the ‘Brewers’ have had a busy pre ‐season, playing nine friendlies, including some charity events.

Player/Manager of the ‘Brewers’ Dan Nowak and Chairman of Brimington United both travel to Chesterfield FC away games with ‘True Blue Travel’ and set up the True Blue Challenge cup, between the two clubs. Dan said “Disappointingly we lost 4‐3 to Brimington United in the True Blue Challenge Cup, but it’s to be an annual fixture and we’re hoping to bring the cup back to the “Tramway” next time”.

Like any new club BBFC have been trying to raise funds. They've introduced a ‘Sponsored Goal scheme’ and a ‘Predictions Competition’ (eight BBFC predications ‐ where they’ll finish in the league, how many points, top scorer etc.) – if you want to get involved, pick up a form from the Tramway Tavern.

A ‘Man of the Match’ award has also been introduced, the winner receives a bottle of Brampton Brewery's 1302 We'll continue to follow BBFC Ale, kindly donated by the brewery. throughout the season, and wish the The honour of being the 1st winner, lads well! went to Paul Hirst.

The 4th September saw the start of the new 2011/12 season and the ‘brewers’ played at their home ground, Oaks Farm Lane, Calow, against North Wingfield Miners Welfare – the ‘Brewers’ went 2 – 0 down, before the clubs latest signing, Ashley Harden, netted a couple to equalise, but North Wingfield scored a late winner, denying BBFC any points in their first ever competitive league match.

National Junior MTB XC Champion

C

ould you sprint up Netherfield Road, in Walton, on your bike in 30 seconds? If so, could you take a five minute recovery ride and then do it again, nine times? Matt Sumpton can.

He’s the 2011 National Junior Cross Country Mountain Bike Champion. He lives in Walton and this is part of his regular training session, so if you see him in his Team CNP Obrea kit give him some encouragement as he’s one the country's best riders.

chatted about what had made the difference; he’d had some professional coaching so I decided I’d do the same. This was the major stepping point. Adrian Timmis has ridden in the Tour De France but is now a professional coach. At that time I would just come home after school, grab a bowl of cereal and go out on my bike. Adrian taught me how to ride smarter, with more specific training sessions. I ride every day, sometimes only for an hour, but when I do I make sure it's a very specific session.”

How do you get to be at the top of the pile in cycling?

“I probably do about 12 hours a week on the bike, but at the right intensity. An easy day for me is a quick loop up Harewood Road, around Beeley Moor and back home, which takes about 40 minutes.”

“I love riding my bike. A friend at school, St Mary’s, lives in Matlock and we used to go out cycling together, he lent me a mountain bike before I had my own and we simply went out each weekend for fun. When I was 13, I did a two day ride from Langsett back to Matlock. We had none of the right kit, we just thought it would be a laugh and it was.”

So how did the racing start?

“I saw a poster in JE James for the National MTB Series and there was a round at Sherwood Pines which I decided to enter. I went along and finished eighth in my class, which was okay, but I began to train seriously after that as I wanted to improve.”

“I've always been ambitious. My Dad says I always want to be the best at what I do. He often reminds me that as a five year old I once said I wanted to build a steam engine, he replied that we’ll get some boxes together and start it. ‘No’ I said, ‘I want to build an actual steam engine’. The phrase stuck and often things are referred to as ‘just another steam engine’ ”.

“At school I had a reputation for doing just enough work to get away with it, but where cycling is concerned I’m totally different, it pushes me physically and I’m keen to progress. I want to make a career out of cycling so I need to take it seriously”.

Is it just time on the bike that makes the difference?

“No, Adrian did two other things, he made sure my riding position was correct, this made a huge difference, small changes to saddle position for instance. Even some of the pro’s seem to overlook this, but the impact it had on my performance was huge.”

“This year we’ve been working on nutrition, food is where I get my energy and it’s so critical to make sure you’re putting the right fuel in the tank. The team is CNP Orbea and CNP provide sports nutrition products, which have been useful to me. I’ve always been skinny and the supplements I take help me recover after races or hard training sessions.”

So what’s your next race? (as at 25 August) “I’m in Switzerland next weekend racing as one of Team GB.” Very envious, so are you hoping to be competing at the 2012 games?

“No. As a cyclist you need a lot of strength to compete at the top levels, this sort of physical maturity doesn’t happen until you’re in your late 20’s or early 30’s. Look at Bradley Wiggins, he was on top form going into this years Tour and he’s 31 at So you were 13 when it began and now five years later you’re National Champ. How did that happen? present, Jens Voigt was the oldest rider this year at 40. I get asked this a lot about the Olympics, people “I’ve always messed about on my bike in the woods, see Tom Daly competing at the level he does and I didn’t really see mountain biking as a serious sport, think I should be there too, we're both the same age. Tom’s physical abilities need to be totally but once I’d done that first race I joined Matlock Cycling Club and realised that there was potential to different to mine; realistically I should be focusing on the 2020 games. Cycling is a sport where you actually make a career out of it!" need to be careful at a young age not to burn out or "A friend at the club was improving noticeably so I put too much strain on your body. Watch out for

Liam Killeen he’s one of our Olympic 2012 hopefuls.” pace, driving me all around the country to race and has always been happy to do it.”

So what bike do you ride?

So as a local chap what’s your favourite ride?

“I have a semi‐pro contract with CNP Obrea Team, “This whole piece has focused on my mountain bike they have confidence in me and see what I’m career so it seems strange to say that there’s a three capable of. I’m not a paid rider but get all the hour road ride I do out through Old Brampton, support I need to compete and stay at school. I’ve just finished my A levels and will be taking a year out Owler Bar, Surprise View, Grindleford, past Frogatt to Calver then back through Chatsworth, Beeley to focus on my cycling career.”

If out in the Peaks, it has to be “the “I like tennis ‐ it’s one of the few sports I like to Beast”, a technical rollercoaster of a bridleway that watch.

They get what I’m about and realise I’m serious about cycling ‐ if my mates are off down the pub they simply understand when I say no thanks and take off for the hills.”

Thanks to Matt for his time, as someone who likes to cycle, I understand what commitment is needed to be where he is and I look forward to him keeping S40 Local updated on his progress.
