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!

Lisa (Evander and Anwyn’s mum)

Friday evenings junior cyclo cross results

Many thanks to you all for supporting our youths cycling event Friday. The heavy shower beforehand didn't deter a good entry of 28 riders, and I think they all found the slippery conditions a challenge, but well worth it and you'll improve the more you ride in a range of conditions.
 
We host the third and final round in our series on Friday 8th November, when we'll give out a few prizes for the series, plus if we can get a few more of the youngest riders, we'll have an under 6 category for those in school year one or younger.
 
Please find the series to date results attached, and we hope to see you all on the 8th November, and please help us spread the word to all your cycling friends.
 
I'd also recommend trying the Muddy Monsters North Cambs series that is currently being listed on British Cycling, they have a similar format and not too much travelling involved.
 
Click here for the results sheet.

Muddy Monsters and senior cyclcross

This series will be starting again THIS Saturday, with Fenland Clarion hosting the final round on Saturday 29th February 2020.
These events are held under British Cycling Go Ride Racing format, like our Friday events, which means you'll get at least two races. These are scored from one "sprint" race and one "endurance" race, normally with a non-scoring race such as a handicap also included to provide a good mornings racing. This should be a great series, with not too much travelling, and suitable for all of our youth riders with agegroups from u8 to u16.
Here are the dates, with only the first one currently listed on British Cycling website, although the others will be on there very soon.
 
Saturday 12th October Cambridge
Saturday 19th October Ely
 
30th November Kings Lynn
 
14th December Peterborough (TBC)
 
11th January Kings Lynn
 
29th February Fenland Clarion, Peterborough Embankment (followed at 12:00 by a senior event for the club, with parents welcome to try a cyclocross event)
