Navigation Rally this Sunday
Club Run - Sunday 10th November
9:00 am: Navigation Rally - 25 miles approximately - Blue Bell Pub, Maxey (no other club runs that day).
Meet at the Blue Bell Pub in Maxey and follow the clues with a bit of map reading. It's like a car treasure hunt but on a bicycle. Just bring a pencil to write the answers to the clues and the Start and Finish will be at the Blue Bell pub in Maxey. There is no coffee stop but you will be able to enjoy a drink at the end when we do the scoring in the pub.
Contact Birgit Scott 07974248737 or Ian Waddilove 07771674786 if you have any questions.
We hope you can join us on Sunday.
Core Strength Sessions planned...
After a successful trial session last winter the club has arranged for personal trainer Yvonne Goodsall to come along and offer some core training to compliment riders cycling training. These will be separate sessions for youths and adults from 6:30 - 7:30 pm at the Embankment Athletic Track, with free parking in the adjoining Regional Pool car park. Full changing facilities and basic refreshments are included if required. Booking is not essential, but it would be handy to have an idea of numbers in advance if possible for the adult sessions.
Youth sessions will be split, so each group will get 30 minutes cycling and 30 minutes core exercises, no booking required and normal fees apply, on the following dates.
Fridays 15th November, 17th January & 6th March
Adult sessions will be £2 each and take place on Fridays 6th December &
21st February.

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.
