Just to make you aware that we have Wattbikes in the club and they can be made available for training on a Friday evening when we are at the athletic track. To ensure availability i'll need to know in advance who wants to use them. The cost for adults or youths of secondary school age is the regular £4 or £3 for members, however if an adult is also paying for a youth to attend the session they will only be charged £1 to minimise the burden on the family budget. Wattbike racenights will be charged separately as required to cover our costs.

This Friday we will be at the Athletic Track on Bishops Road from 6:30 - 7:30. For those who would like to ride the rollers this will be an ideal opportunity for youths and any adults who might be interested.

For the remainder we will be using the track once again this week, so if you have a choice then smooth road tyres would be great.

Hi to all

I think there is sufficient interest in arranging some regular weekend rides for the youngsters and I suggest we could start by aiming to do a ride on Saturdays afternoons, although they could be at other times as well.

I don't think every week is practical, so perhaps 1 or 2 rides a month might work well. If any parents are prepared to lead a few rides please let me know and I'm happy to co-ordinate some dates.
I think a mixture of cycleways, off road rides and on quieter roads would all work. Recently we had the Crowland ride to the Fenland Airfield and it was well supported and enjoyed by all on quiet roads. Other suitable locations could be routes close to you, or how about Fineshade, Peterborough Green Wheel, Grafham Water, Rutland Water to name a few to get you started. As not all the youngsters have parents who cycle perhaps one or two parents might supervise the odd extra youngsters occasionally to open these rides up to all.
Let me know if interested in leading the occasional ride.

Please note and do your best to attend the Club AGM on Monday 11^th March (7.30pm) at Peterborough Bowls Club, 19 Burton Street, Peterborough PE1 5HA . 

Find attached the meeting Notice, Minutes from 2018 AGM and Motions to National Clarion Annual Conference 2018. If you have any items for the Agenda, please submit in writing (email will do) by Sunday 3^rd March.

This is an opportunity to have your say on the running of the club and maybe helping out and even getting involved with the organisation. 

Kind regards
Steve

For FCCC members we will be looking for volunteers and marshalls on the day so please let Steve Clarke know if you are able to contribute. 

There was much pain and suffering for the Clarion Wattbike session on Saturday morning. With freezing temperatures outside the club used the new Collyweston Heritage Centre near the top of the iconic climb. 

There were riders from Yaxley Rides who joined in the action and all agreed there would be more sessions going forward.
