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)

It's that time of year where Fenland Clarion and Peterborough CC riders comepete in a two stage hill climb championship. 

It takes place this coming Sunday 6th October with signing on and the first stage starting on the road out of Ketton to Collyweston. 

Climb one starts across the stone bridge before climbing up the hillside before a left turn and increase in steepness through the village. 

Riders then ride (untimed) back down and through Ketton before taking in stage 2 which goes up the side of the cement works towards the main Stamford to Melton Mowbray road. 

More details are available here. 

We hope to see as many FCCC riders taking part as possible.
