Monday 14 May is the first of this years 5 mile time trials 
from Helpston. These are open to all youths, ladies & novice riders and 
they are open to anyone they don’t need to be club members. The minimum 
age is 12 and riders under 18 will need to have a consent form signed by 
a parent. Meeting place is on the Heath near Helpston (52.617421, 
-0.343768 on Google maps) with the start on Langley Bush Road. Signing 
on is from 6:30 - 6:45 with the first rider off at 7:01.

Could also do with one more marshal if anyone has a few minutes to 
spare, you should be done by 7:30.

So if you fancy trying a time trial, or perhaps know someone who might 
be interested, now is a good time to start.

Any questions please just let me know

Please note that there have been some adjustments made to some of the times.

This Friday 11^th May we will be holding another of our youth racenights, this time with a cyclocross format, so we will be on the grass and every rider will get 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 separately to the younger ones)

Entry will be £4 on the day from 6.00pm with races to start at 6.30 and finish around 8.00 with prizes for the series. 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.

• Riders, the more the merrier for good racing. All youth riders welcome.
• Cakes, if you can bring one along please do, and ideally let me know beforehand
• Refreshments - one more to help out with them
• Signing on - two people required
• Timekeepers - three people required
• Demo rider to show the riders round the course
• Helpers for setting up, could do with a couple of helpers who could ideally get there early

The details are on the British Cycling website, but as its entry on the night things are not too different to normal.

Hi to all

Many thanks to all those who supported our racenight this evening. We had another great evening with many fine youngsters doing their best in the four races they each had. With a mix of distances and types of event we hope that there was something for everyone, and the results are attached.

We had four different race winners over the eight races and at least three riders in their first racing event.

The next and final round of this two event series will be on Friday 11th May when we will be awarding the prizes. It would be great to see you all there, and please tell any other young cyclists you may know that they would be very welcome.

Regards

Malc
