Weekend Youth Events

Hi to all

We start the weekend on Friday evening with a family ride from outside the Athletics Track at 18:30 for an approx. 7 mile loop through Stanground and along the river as far as Millennium bridge. You'll need lights and ideally bright clothing, the route is quite possible on road tyres, but its a bit rough in places so you might prefer knobbly tyres if you have the choice. Should be finished around 19:30 with parents very welcome.

On Saturday morning there is the fourth round of the Muddy Monsters series of races, and as this one is from Thorpe Hall in Peterborough there will hopefully be a good turnout. Be there to register by around 09:30 for a 10:00 start, and it will be all finished by 12:00.

Enjoy your cycling

Friday evening youth session

Hi to all
 
This week will be our final youth session of 2017, and this will be our Xmas party night. We will be at the Embankment Athletic Track with a 6.30 start as normal and we'll be cycling for around an hour. However that's where the similarities end, as this week parents are encouraged to join in this fun session. All events will be open to parents of all abilities and none of them will require a high level of fitness, just a few cycling based games, so you'll need your cycle and a helmet although we may be able to lend you one if required.
 
We will have a few awards to give out including best dressed youth bike, best dressed adult bike, youth attendance award and a few spot prizes.
Many of you have already offered to bring food along for the social time with music and food from 7.30 - 8.30 and if you haven't offered already we could do with some paper plates, plastic cups and feel free to bring sweet or savoury items along.
 
It would be great to finish the years sessions with a big turnout, so hopefully see you all there.

Club Records now on website

It’s taken a while (they’ve not been on the site for a long while), but you can find them here (link). 
Take a look and see what great times are the fastest our members have done and who holds the various Club records.
2017 has been another fast year and riders across the board have been seen to produce some impressive times, not least of all Club Champion Paul Lunn.

Paul has been sizzling form all year, winning almost all of the club events and set new club records for the Bluebell Circuit (20.45) and also the 100 mile with 3.40.11, beating the old record by almost a quarter of an hour.


Meanwhile Paul Lilley, Steve Kaye and Richard Moys eclipsed the nine year old Men’s 25 mile team record by 7.14 on the same day in September.


Not to be outdone Lindsay Clarke broke the Women’s 10 mile record twice in 2017, beating her own 23 year old record with 22.02 and then 21.59 (same day in September, it must have been a fast day!) on the super quick V718 course in Yorkshire.


Take a look at the records and see if you might be able to break one (or more). If you break a record, to claim, just email the racing secretary This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.  with the official result sheet and we’ll check it out and if ratified you’ll get a certificate at the annual prize presentation and your name in the record books.
