We hope to see some of you out on one of the above rides.

Please find below details of this week's club runs and a message from Alison Lilley with regards to volunteering for marshalling duties at the forthcoming Place to Place 22nd March 10am start.

VOLUNTEERS - Time to get organised & make some commitments folks please before the end of January for the Place to Place TT, Folksworth on Sun 22nd March, 10am. None of us have endless free time & I don't have the inclination to chase people up so if you want to guarantee events going ahead this year then help me (I'm a volunteer too) to make this happen. No winging it from week to week! To register your availability follow this link https://forms.gle/8zktLm1aFrGC9rW56

Thank you, Alison Lilley

Thanks to everyone who competed the feedback form for the dinner. 

The committee are taking note of the results and they will form part of the decision making for the format and venue going forward. 

This Friday we will be at The Athletic Track on Bishops Road for another youth session.

This weeks session will be split between cycling on the grass and a core exercise session with personal trainer Yvonne.

So please aim to be there ready for a 6:30 start and we finish at 7:30

This Saturday Karl Grundy will be riding with Ethan from Northborough Village Hall for approximately 55 min whilst Jacob is doing Karate, and others are welcome to join them with details below.

We’ll be riding on the local roads around the area at an approximate pace of 12-14 mph depending on the weather and who turns up (will aim to ride at the slowest pace). The rider needs to confident and comfortable with riding on the road. Would be good to see a few out and if the rider could wear a helmet and have lights on the bike and be accompanied by a responsible adult that would be great.

The address for Northborough Village Hall is Cromwell Close, Northborough PE6 9DP. The hall is signposted. The main car park is large but parking may be busy as Karate and football will be taking place on the playing fields immediately next to the hall. There is a small overflow car park behind the hall.

May be worth finding a space on the local estate where possible if no access.

I’ll be aiming to start riding 0955 1000 at the latest and back between 1050-1055.

The committee of Fenland Clarion Cycling Club would like to invite the membership to the club AGM to be held on 20th January. 

More details of venue and timings will follow, but please keep this date free if you are able, and ensure any questions you have of the running of the club are ready for you to ask at the event. 

The club is always keen to get feedback on how it's doing and is always looking for any help and support it can get. 

Thanks in advance for your attendance and participation. 

The event this morning certainly lived up to its name with a real hint of winter chill in the air for competitors and helpers alike. 

Despite the recent levels of rain, the course was clear of fords and floods allowing a goodly number of riders to compete. 

13 is the most I can remember over recent years and it was maybe the desire of the members to get out and see each other as well as get some rain free miles in that drove the participation number. 

After picking up a decent haul of trophys at the clubs November prize evening, it was Simon Pitchford who started the year off with a win in 23:06 before a gaggle of riders in the 24 min bracket led by Ian Waddilove and Dave Thorold. Thomas Stegeman rounded out the top 4. 

FCCC is pleased to launch its (provisional) 2020 racing events calendar. 

The committee is keen to get the list out there as soon as possible to enable you to plan when you are available to race and marshall. 

You can get to the calendar from the menu above under "Racing" or if you are already on that page, clicking here. 

If you have any questions about the event or what your expected contribution is please discuss with a member of the committee by phone, email or at an upcoming club night. 

For the New Years Day 10 we’ll be using the regular Helpston circuit and will meet up on the Heath.

Phil, you can ride (unless we get over 20 riders, then I’ll need a hand)

It’s an 11.00am start, sign on from 1030.
