Hi to all
I'd just like to confirm that our 2021 youth section cycle camping weekend will once again be in Nene Park from Friday 25th June to Sunday 27th June.
There's no need to book at this stage, however you'll all be very welcome to attend what has previously been a popular and enjoyable weekend for all ages.
There is also an event on our Facebook page where you can discuss who's going etc.
So get the dates in your diary before it starts filling up, you wouldn't want to miss out.

Dear Parents

We are now pleased to be able to announce that we can return to our Friday coached sessions at the athletic track, however it is important that you read this email in its entirety and respond accordingly before you attend.

We will be starting this Friday 18th September. Please note that for the foreseeable future ALL rider places will have to be requested in advance, and this will also require you to confirm that you have received, understand and will follow the terms outlined in this email.

Our sessions will start with reduced numbers (just 10 initially), and all places will need to be requested in advance by 20:00 on the Wednesday, and approved before attending, as we will be limiting numbers. If any riders are declined a place, then they will get priority for the following session. Where possible we would encourage payment in advance via the Barclays Pingit app, this is a well proven Barclays product that is free to download and use, and it means there's no need to handle any cash. Payments will need to be sent to 07743 357 037 once you have a place. If you really do need to pay in cash then we request the correct change. At all times we will aim to follow the recommended guidance on social distancing with regard to Covid-19, and would appreciate all of your help with this.

For now there will be no access to the pavilion other than a limited number of the toilets to the rear of the building, and there will be no loan bikes or other equipment. Please come prepared for the weather if you are planning to stay while the youngsters ride, and also the youngsters will not have the option of going inside for a few minutes to get warm.

We would like to keep the numbers attending the session to a minimum, and ALL of those present will be logged for track and trace, should the need arise.

Riders are to arrive more than 15 minutes before the session is due to start, so 6:15 for our regular Friday 6:30 starts, and the number of people attending is to be kept to a minimum. No cars will be permitted on site.

No one who is clinically vulnerable or has cold, flu or potential Covid-19 symptoms should attend.

We hope that these conditions can evolve and not be too onerous as the Covid restrictions in general become more relaxed, although obviously this is very much an unknown situation.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have, and we look forward to welcoming you all back to our regular sessions, and enjoying riding our bikes in each others company once again.

Due to roadworks in Bainton, the 10 today will be on the course between Ufford and Bretton. 

Rather than park at the heath near Helpston, please go to the field as you enter Ufford and park up there safely distanced. 

Thanks and have a good ride. 

Please use the online store to order products from the wider FCCC range. That includes jackets and skinsuits. 

There is still an amount of stock locally that I am selling out and you can see what we have available by clicking here. 

Speak to James Warrener at the tens for more. 

As a result of the fantastic support for our Post Lockdown Wednesday night time trials over the past few week, the club have decided add another eight Sunday morning events (OK one’s Bank Holiday Monday) to our 2020 Race Calendar.

These events will include two more Bluebell 10 mile events, the popular Helpston Classic over three laps of the Bluebell circuit. There will also be a couple of 25 mile TT’s on the Old A1 (one starting at Alconbury, the other at Connington, the Club 25 Championship and the Cullip Cup. We’ll also be running the Championship 10 mile between Sawtry and Stilton, also on the Old A1. Then there’s the two stage Hill Climb at Ketton/Collyweston and we wrap the season up with the Place to Place, which is normally the season pipe opener and is 21 miles between Folksworth and Oundle and round the Morborne Hill loop.

The events will form the Club’s new format Championship Series and details on exactly how that will work will be published early next week.
These TT’s are aimed at Club members but guests are welcome, however we do ask that after two races non Fenland riders join the club, either first of second claim and help with marshalling and other race day duties.

All events will have advanced online entry. For full list of events and entry details click here

Its week 2 in the Bluebell series and there are points on offer for members again this week. 

The start sheet is here. Please note if you've not entered as yet we cannot accept entries on the evening. 

Please remember to follow the instructions which are all linked in this post. 

It was a chilly and breezy evening as wel finally got off the line for the first Bluebell 10 of the season. 

Even the weather wanted to kid us we were back in April!

There were plenty of good rides despite it being a headwind to Bainton. 

With the handicaps taken into account the first set of points for the year are found by clicking here.
