Frostbite 10TT

It's nearly time for the Frostbite 10m TT on 1st January 2019 at 11am and you know what that means ..... we need marshalls:
1 timekeeper
1 pusher offer
1 timekeepers asst
4 road marshalls
Who's in?
And of course no TT would be complete without riders ... who's blowing the New Years Day cobwebs off with a blast around the Blue bell 10?
Meeting up at the usual point for signing on and riding. 
Happy Christmas

Friday race night 14.12.2018

This Friday 14th December 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, when we will give out a few prizes. 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.
  • Riders, the more the merrier for good racing. All youth riders welcome.
  • Cakes, a rare occasion this week as we already have enough
  • 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.
This will be at our usual venue The Embankment Athletic Track, Bishops Road, PE1 5BW.

Save the date - 2019 National Clarion Easter Meet

We are delighted to give you early news about the official 2019 National Clarion 124th Easter Meet, to be held in 2019 in York.

These National Clarion Easter have been a staple event in our calendar since 1895 and every year bar one since then. This is the 6th time we’ve been to York and the last time was in 1960.

We will have a brilliant program of meet-ups, socialising, leisure riding, family fun and racing (although not too serious for some). We also have the annual conference on the Friday afternoon (it worked at Lincoln a few years ago) and to wrap things up we have the annual dinner and prize presentation on the Sunday evening.

You can come to any or all of the weekend, but the evening functions on the Saturday and Sunday will be chargeable. Prices will be announce shortly, but expect them to be less than previous years.
