Fenland Clarion members gathered at the John Clare Cottage, Helpston last night at the conclusion of their final club 10 of the season. 

In tosting the success of the winning riders with a specially brewed "Clare Ale" all enjoyed a hearty buffet before taking to the scenic courtyard garden to enjoy a lovely evening with a chat.

The buffet is one of a number of social events in the calender with the camping at Mildenhall coming up this weekend and the club dinner in November. 

Thanks to all for coming along and for making it a lovely evening.

In windy by dry conditions the field took to the old A1 at Sawtry for 10 miles of time trial action. Though still to be ratified by the N&DCA, here are the provisional results.

These events are possible for anyone with a bike that can cope with a bit of off road riding. Most events have a mixture of cross bikes and mountain bikes, and as its run over a circuit no one can get left behind (well apart from on the first lap). The races are normally from 40 minutes to one hour (less for the younger riders). To compliment these events there will also be a few more off road rides coming up.

So if you fancy a change, why not give one of these a try. Many are local events, and there is one most weekends up to Christmas, and a few into the new year.

Please note the entry details for each event, and that if you want to score in a league series you should note the specific requirements of that league. As we are an Eastern region club, but also cose to the boundary with Central and the Lincolnshire league, you may choose to pick individual events that suit you, or compete in one league throughout the season. If you are unsure please ask.

Thanks to Emma we have a spreadsheet that shows most of the local league events, complete with travelling distances from the Athletic Track and even an approximate travelling time. This season it looks like we are going to get a few more riders taking part, both in the youth age groups, and the seniors, where there are some novice events if you're really unsure. As there are several fixture clashes why not let us know which events you'll be taking part in, that way we can add it to the spreadsheet and hopefully encourage other riders to go to the same event, making it more social as well.

As well as these league events we will be holding our own YOUTH ONLY cross races on 30th September, 28th October, 25th November & on 11th November there will be another GIRLS ONLY RACENIGHT, so please ride, help out, bring a friend or just help us to spread the word about these nights.

Please have a look through the spreadsheet for an excellent selection of local(ish) events.

So whether you fancy being the next cross expert like Sven Nys (left) or you think you're more of a crowd pleaser, why not give it a go?
