This Friday 11th October we will be holding another of our racenights, this time its with a Cyclocross format, so we will be on the grass and every rider will get at least two races. These will still suit ALL of our youth riders, but with the added attraction of some riders from other clubs joining us for a few races, making it ideal entry level racing, and suitable for getting started with competitive events. Each event will be in age groups, so even our youngest will be able to take part, and the oldest will riders will be under 16 age group (racing seperately to the younger ones)

Please note that if any of you would like to borrow a club bike, please help us by being there by 6.15

Entry will be £4 on the day from 6.00pm with races to start at 6.30 and finish around 8:00 - 8:15 with a couple of spot prizes and the series prizes will be awarded at the third event in this three event series on 8th November. Hopefully our youngsters will all want to try these events, they seem to have a competitve streak even when not racing, so it should make a nice change to our usual format.

We could do with a few helpers on the night, so if you are able to help please let me know, preferably in advance.
Riders, the more the merrier for good racing. All youth riders welcome.
Cakes, always very welcome
Refreshments - ideally 2 - 3 to help out with them
Signing on - two people required

It's that time of year where Fenland Clarion and Peterborough CC riders comepete in a two stage hill climb championship. 

It takes place this coming Sunday 6th October with signing on and the first stage starting on the road out of Ketton to Collyweston. 

Climb one starts across the stone bridge before climbing up the hillside before a left turn and increase in steepness through the village. 

Riders then ride (untimed) back down and through Ketton before taking in stage 2 which goes up the side of the cement works towards the main Stamford to Melton Mowbray road.
