Club Run - Sunday 10th November

9:00 am: Navigation Rally - 25 miles approximately - Blue Bell Pub, Maxey (no other club runs that day).

Meet at the Blue Bell Pub in Maxey and follow the clues with a bit of map reading.  It's like a car treasure hunt but on a bicycle.  Just bring a pencil to write the answers to the clues and the Start and Finish will be at the Blue Bell pub in Maxey. There is no coffee stop but you will be able to enjoy a drink at the end when we do the scoring in the pub.

Contact Birgit Scott 07974248737 or Ian Waddilove 07771674786 if you have any questions.

We hope you can join us on Sunday.

After a successful trial session last winter the club has arranged for personal trainer Yvonne Goodsall to come along and offer some core training to compliment riders cycling training. These will be separate sessions for youths and adults from 6:30 - 7:30 pm at the Embankment Athletic Track, with free parking in the adjoining Regional Pool car park. Full changing facilities and basic refreshments are included if required. Booking is not essential, but it would be handy to have an idea of numbers in advance if possible for the adult sessions.

Youth sessions will be split, so each group will get 30 minutes cycling and 30 minutes core exercises, no booking required and normal fees apply, on the following dates.

Fridays 15th November, 17th January & 6th March

Adult sessions will be £2 each and take place on Fridays 6th December &

21st February.

This Friday 8th November 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 the series prizes awarded at the end and all done by 8:30. 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. In particular we need someone to take entries, ideally would could be there for 5:45/6:00
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
Timekeepers - three people required
Demo rider to lead 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.
