N&DCA 10 2020 - Our promotion..

The Northants and District Cycling Association, whose events many of our members like to ride, need to know if we are able to organise a round of next year's series.
I organised it this year, Emma Emerton previously and before that Simon Pitchford.

Our race was on the N1/10 course (Sawtry) and 6th July, would anyone be prepared to organise next year's event on our behalf?

Please let me know.

Steve Clarke

Following the popularity of our recent camping trips, and in particular the venue at Nene Park this year, we have re-booked provisionally for next year.

It is hoped we might also fit in a shorter one night trip to Fineshade in their camping Danish shelters, or something similar, but still to be confirmed.

Our annual youth cycle camping trip continues in 2020, and with the popularity of the Nene Park "group" campsite (not the caravan club site) we will be returning again in 2020. This time we will be booking for Friday & Saturday nights, with the addition of the Sunday being extended to include a bbq for the whole club following the clubruns. All cyclists, in particular the youngsters will be encouraged to ride there, although parents will be allowed to help with any excess luggage. Prices are yet to be confirmed, but will be kept to a minimum. So get the date in your diary!
Please free free to discuss via the Facebook event, or if you have any questions, please free to ask. We will confirm places nearer the date.

This Friday 27th September there will be another family ride, with parents most welcome to join a social ride of around one hour, along the river on the cyclepaths, so suitable for all types of bike.

Meet at the Embankment Athletic track for a 6:30 start and probably cover around 6 miles. Youths must wear helmets & bright/reflective clothing and please don't forget your lights.

When you've finished there's a Wattbike session going on at the track, so feel free to drop in for a cuppa, or just come and cheer the riders on.

Another podium to add to the fenland trophy case, Thomas Stegeman got third u18 at the 57th annual 3 peaks cx race finishing in the respectable time of 4hours 17min.

It was a nice warm, but windy Sunday for the riders who took on the Cullip Cup 25. Steve Maile and Simon Pitchford were the two riders under the hour with Steve edging it. 

Fenland Clarion riders will be making a rare trip south of Peterborough for the annual Cullip Cup 25 this weekend.

The Championship is nicely poised with just the hill climb champs to go after this round. 

The race is on Sunday and is based on the scenic little village of Connington. As well as the scenice lanes around the airfield and Holme to course also used the old A1 and more familiar roads. 

The first rider is of at 1000 and if you wish to state your intention to ride, please contact Steve Clarke 

As with all club events, there are opportunities to marshall or help organise, so if you are not planning to take part your support is still needed and apprecaited.
