FCCC in association with kit supplier Ellmore are close to launching an online leisurewear store. 

A number of designs and colour ways have been discussed on the clubs Facebook, Juniors Facebook and Twitter feeds with the most popular choices now being launched. 

More details on how you can order to follow. 

This Friday 8^th March we will be holding another of our racenights, this time its with a Cyclocross format, so we will be on the grass and every rider will get at least two races. These will still suit ALL of our youth riders, but with the added attraction of some riders from other clubs joining us for a few races, making it ideal entry level racing, and suitable for getting started with competitive events. Each event will be in age groups, so even our youngest will be able to take part, and the oldest will riders will be under 16 age group (racing seperately to the younger ones)

Please note that if any of you would like to borrow a club bike, please help us by being there by 6.15

Entry will be £4 on the day from 6.00pm with races to start at 6.30 and finish around 8:00 - 8:15 with a couple of spot prizes and the series prizes will be awarded at the final event on 10th May. Hopefully our youngsters will all want to try these events, they seem to have a competitve streak even when not racing, so it should make a nice change to our usual format.

We could do with a few helpers on the night, so if you are able to help please let me know, preferably in advance.

• Riders, the more the merrier for good racing. All youth riders welcome.
• Cakes, always very welcome
• Refreshments - ideally 2 - 3 to help out with them
• Signing on - two people required
• Timekeepers - three people required
• Demo rider to lead the riders round the course
• Helpers for setting up, could do with a couple of helpers who could ideally get there early

The details are on the British Cycling website, but as its entry on the night things are not too different to normal.

This will be at our usual venue The Embankment Athletic Track, Bishops Road, PE1 5BW.

There will be two more events in the series on Fridays 12th April & 10th May.

As always any questions please ask.

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
