CX Summer Race - 16th August
A heads up for all members that we intend to hold Cyclocross races for all categories on 16th August at our field off Small Gains Lane in Ashwell. The event has been submitted to British Cycling and is pending approval from HQ. The turnaround is quite tight with entries opening on Saturday at 9am, if it is approved in time. I will be selecting entrants manually to ensure that any CCA member who wishes to race will be guaranteed a place, in return they will be expected to volunteer for a portion of the event.
There will be strict guidance for the event in line with British Cycling and Government Covid 19 guidelines. This will be shared with all participants and volunteers. When entering please read the rider information on the event page to determine which race you should enter. If you have any doubts then please message me.
These events were a great introduction to racing for quite a few members last year and we'd love to see some riders who have been thinking about getting into cyclocross racing. There will be racing for all youth categories too.
In will post the link to the event as soon as it has been approved.

I will be reserving places for CCA members, 1st and 2nd claim, on the basis that they also volunteer. I will be holding them until midday on Sunday. If you are a CCA member and it's not clear on your online entry and you wish to be reserved a place then please let me know.
Youth and U12s shouldn't need to reserve a place but get their entries in quickly just in case.

Thanks for all of you who have volunteered to help. I've managed to keep everyone down to just the morning or afternoon, except for Sallie I'm afraid who is my only first aider. I've given you roles below, I will give a briefing as to what's required on the day. It's all self explanatory but there will be some extra considerations regarding Covid 19 safety. Myself and Pete will be around the whole day to help out with any issues.
We are also setting up on Saturday, from 11.30. The more people the better, bring your bikes for an early practise as this will be very limited on the day.
