Senior Cyclocross
The return of the club championship event earlier this year proved popular, particularly with newcomers to Cyclocross with a very novice friendly smaller event. It has been decided to repeat this event on Saturday 29th February at 12:00, once again at The Embankment Athletics track on Bishops Road, Peterborough.
In order to allow newcomers to get a taste of Cyclocross we are happy to arrange some practice sessions on Friday evenings at the Athletics Track, although you don't have to be a newcomer to take part. These will give everyone a bit of a workout, and cover the basic skills required to get the best out of yourself, perhaps with little or no Cyclocross
background. We have one or two bikes that could be borrowed, or any off road type bike is quite sufficient.
If you'd be interested in these sessions, please let Malc (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) know ASAP, so we can get some dates in the calendar.

Youth Christmas party 13th December
Our Christmas party is always enjoyed by adults and kids alike. Parents, bring your bike to join in fun games with the kids. Younger children are also encouraged to take park on balance or pedal bikes if they have them.
There will be a prize for the best dressed bike, so get out your tinsel and fairy lights.
After games we will have food, so it would be great if you could all bring a small something for us all to share. I will have a list in the kitchen this week for you to put your name to something sweet, savoury, juicy or practical!
We anticipate the evening will finish between 8-8.30pm.
Merry Cycle-mas!
