Forum Admin [Martin]

To all CCA members - and beyond!

Cycle Club Ashwell are promoting our first open Grass Track meeting on our brand new track in Ashwell on Thursday evening, 1st September 2011.

Children racing from 16:00 and adults from 18:00.

Many more exciting details to follow - but for now - please make a note in your diary. It looks like it's going to be something really special.

Sounds like this will be an awesome InaugauraL event!

As Social Sec I have spoken to Daniel, Martin and will be liaising with Fraser et al to help make sure it is a massive success.

If you have any ideas or suggestions of the 'fun and 'social' variety for that afternoon/evening, please post here.

All things considered- almost!

IT'S YOUR CLUB- YOUR SUPPORT ESSENTIAL!!

I will try and get an announcement made on the tannoy at the Team Welwyn meet tomorrow.

Could we have a splash news item on the club homepage? I could then direct people to www.ccashwell.com for details.

Sorry to sound like an idiot, but would a 15 year old fit into the 'youth' or the 'junior' category?

geoffg

you are youth U16 Bryn....next year you will be junior.........no problem...nearly everyone gets confused.....rule is what age were you in January at the start of this year

brynd

So, what is a Go-Ride race? Is it just the same as the fixed wheel version but on normal bikes?

brynd

Also, will it be neccessary for me to were CCA club kit if it is a formal, inter-club meet? I am trying to get hold of some but I realise that this will not be possible until the week after as this will be the 1st tuesday of that month. Shall I try to borrow from someone?

geoffg

we'll sort these things Sat. Bryn...yes about G0-Ride racing...Kit has a shirt your size...blog him on the forum under Kit and I'm sure a shirt might arrive for Sat.

brilliant event
great turnout to but why where none of cca riders doing the adult racing ?

Senecio [Daniel D]

A great event indeed and a fantastic occassion for us to cpme together as a club at the end of the summer.

Many thanks to Max for organising the races and BC admin, Chris' catering team and, most of all, Geoff. His tireless labour and energy have given CCA the most remarkable cycling facility. It is great fun to ride and according to the guy from Sudbury CC a fast track.
