Friday 28th September - Family Ride

Hi to all
This Friday 28th there will be a family ride from Castor Village Hall starting at 6:30 and riding for around an hour. There will be the option of good firm paths or for those that want to try some more varied terrain we can do that as well. Please note we haven't booked the village hall, so please park carefully with consideration for local residents.
Lights will be required.

Derby Velodrome Update

Hi to all
Many thanks for the many replies about a possible trip to the Derby Velodrome.
Please note with the numbers so far I have decided we will only be looking at going on the Thursday. Please check the attached spreadsheet and if you are listed for Thursday then I am expecting you to attend, assuming we can get enough riders to confirm the booking. I have offered the spare places elsewhere to give us more chance of confirming the booking.
So if you still want to go please let me know ASAP. I will either confirm the booking or cancel this weekend.
Many thanks
Malc

Listen to Clarion on the BBC

BBC has released its post Vuelta podcast and there is a fair amount of interest for Clarionista's with the Chairman of the Bury Clarion, first club of the Yates Twins interviewed. 

You can get directly to the episode to listen online here. Or just search it in your favourite podcast app (such as Apple podcasts, Spreaker, Castbox). 

To aid the celebrations why not invest in a National Clarion jersey to go with your Fenland kit. 

Stocks are still available and you can contact Ian Clarke here to enquire.

Note there may also be an opportunity on the same day for a one hour session for adults. This will depend on us getting suitable numbers to justify the session and a swift response is required if interested. The youth session would be £25 and i'll confirm on the adult price when I have it.

Cullip Cup 16th September - Connington

After the summer concentration of events based around Helpston and the north of Peterborough, the Cullip Cup is an excursion to the south and Connington fen. 

The Cullip Cup is a 25 mile time trial based on the old A1 and a rural circuit taking in both Connington and Holme. 

The course starts in the village before heading south down the old A1 past Alconbury Hill and up towards the airfield. It turns before Stukely and then heads all the way back north past the start picking up the N1/10 route from Sawtry to Stilton. This is the fatest part of the course and has regularly attracted sub 20 minute rides in its short format. 

On the way back from Stilton the course takes a left at the war memorial and water tower before snaking through Connington and heading along the shallow false flat to the airfield. It then completes a loop to finish just pas the start on the opposite side of the lane. 

There is an end of season feel to this race and its a really key event in the club championships. 

If you are planning on riding, please let Steve Clarke know. 

This weekends events

This Friday evening 7th September there will be our regular youth session at the Embankment Athletic Track from 6:30 - 7:30. Also we will have the stock of club kit, both youth & seniors, and the Elmore kit samples to try the full range of club clothing available. Anything not currently in stock can be ordered on the night.

On Saturday we will have of our young riders competing in the final of the National Youth Time Trial Championship (G.H.S.) over 10 miles near Attleborough.

Sunday we have our three regular clubruns starting from Helpston, while some of our young riders will be riding in the Ashwell Grasstrack meeting and the Cyclocross season gets underway with the first round of the Leicestershire league.

Whatever you do, Enjoy your cycling.
