2018 Hill Climb times

It was a bracing morning as the riders gathered at the foot of the first of two hill climbs taken on in this years competition.

The event is promoted in accordance with Peterborough Cycling Club and attracted a good crowd of supporters on both hills. They were certainly looking for suffering riders on the first climb from Ketton to Collyweston, gathering on the left hand bend where the gradient pitches up to over 15%.

Thankfully the sun was out despite the cold and the heavy rain of the previous afternoon had abaited.

The times were really competitive and it ended up as a closely fought competition.

Massive contratulations to all the riders and thanks to those who made the event possible.

 

2018 Hill Climb Times

 

Friday evening 5th October

This Friday we will once again be at the Athletic Track on Bishops Road and please arrive ready to start at 6:30 and the session will run for the usual one hour to 7:30. Please note parking should be in the adjoining Regional Pool car park and that is free from 6:00.
 
This week we will be on the grass improving those cyclocross skills, with all ages catered for.
 
For those that were on the track last time (typically around 9 - 11 years) we will run a similar session for them next time on 19th October and looking ahead to 2nd November will be having another rollers night.
 
As always any questions please ask, and hope to see you all on Friday. Malcolm.

Great Eastern Run 2018

It's that time of year again when the club has been asked to support the wheelchair athletes doing the half marathon. Event day is Sunday 14th Oct. If you would like to support this event please email me. So far there is only 2 athletes registered. We will need 2 riders supporting the lead chair and 1 for each subsequent entry.

Please note the number of wheelchair athletes, and consequently the number of cycling escorts required, will be confirmed prior to the day. So you won't have a wasted trip.

Regards

Chris.

Help needed Sunday

Fenland Clarion NCRA 3/4 Race
Southwick near Oundle, Northants
This Sunday 30th July 9.30am start 
URGENT HELP REQUIRED
I'm really struggling to get for marshals and officials for this race from within our club. It's always a bit of a problem as an organiser, but this year is the worst ever. So I'm putting it out there to the wider NCRA community. 
CAN YOU PLEASE HELP MARSHAL OR DRIVE A LEAD CAR THIS SUNDAY?
If I can't get enough bodies by the end of the today (Friday) I'm going to have to cancel the event.
The event is in Northants and as such I only need Red Flag marshals. 
Please contact me if you can help on 07951 666331 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or direct message me through Facebook.
Thank you in anticipation
