Saturday 2nd February at Collyweston Heritage Centre PE9 3PQ with a 10:00 start.

A very different format with the club Wattbikes for this event, and a new venue. The format is an inter club event in teams of 5. Each rider will complete 10 miles giving each team of 5 a combined 50 miles. The first rider from each team will ride their 10 miles starting at 10:00 and then after a couple of minutes break to adjust the bikes for the next rider, the second 10 miles will be completed with all teams starting each 10 miles simultaneously, and so on through the team. Note if your team is a rider short then one rider may ride twice or you could borrow a rider from another team, or if you have extra riders why not let them fill in for another team so everyone gets a ride?
This link shows a recent event to give you an idea of how it works, https://www.facebook.com/kate.jacklin.5/posts/10214266001464132

This Saturday we are hosting the final round of the Muddy Monsters North Cambs series of youth races, which will be followed by a short entry level cyclocross race for adults.

The Muddy Monsters event will be open to all youth riders and a few helpers will be needed from 08:00 to set up and sign on will be from 09:15 for the racing to start at 10:00 and there will be prizes for the series and all be finished by 12:00 at the latest. Entry is £4 per rider for a minimum of two races.

At 12:00 there will be a 20 minute seniors race for the Fenland Clarion cyclocross championships. This would be ideal for parents who fancy trying a cyclocross event suitable for novices.
So whether you want to ride, spectate, help out or bring along a cake for the refreshments it would be great to see you there.

The more the merrier.

Please note if using the Regional Pool car park that charges apply on Saturdays.

Just a quick reminder that we will be at the Athletic Track on Bishops Road once again this Friday ready to start riding at 6:30 through until 7:30.

This week there is a choice of polishing up those cyclocross skills on the grass or taking the chance to try riding on the rollers, where parents can also take part.

Note that next week we will have an extra Friday evening when we will have a family ride and an evening of Wattbike races with the parents taking on the mighty talents of our youth riders.

Hopefully see lots of you there, and as always any questions please just ask.

The FCCC are hosting their Cyclo Cross Championships at Peterborough embankment on Saturday 19th January. 

Get your bike dusted off ready for a big race as part of the clubs junior event.
