CCA Autumn Grass Track open, 12th September
The Autumn grass track is scheduled for Saturday the 12th racing starting at 1.00. This was great last year with fab weather and very well supported.
Not sure if its the uninspiring weather but Max tells me he is very low on numbers. If you are planning to ride can you let Max know or post here. The date for postal entries has closed but there will be entry on the line

Subject to limited numbers you can borrow a club bike, take your own pedals.
Would be good to have a parents race too, anyone welcome, we have bikes as Mark says.
See you there.
Any baking fans, it would be great if you could bring along some cakes.
It would be great to see a good turnout of CCA riders. For the kids, it's a great opportunity to put into practice what they've been learning over the summer. Senior riders very welcome too, as Tim mentioned.
Track is in fine shape and ready for action....
A really lovely afternoon and the weather was very kind to us. Huge thanks to Max and Sandra as always. Thanks to Lindsey for judging, Sallie for the go ride and Mrs Nathan for looking after the tea and cake stall and everyone else who helped out, pushed off, took down etc.
Sorry about the intermittent commentry, problems with the mic. If anyone has any good pics please post them up.
First time for me down at the grass track, very impressed I must say. My lad is definitely up for the go ride next season - Just needs to learn how to ride a pedal bike first! (Apologies for the over enthusiastic honking!)
Some of the pics I took....

I feel I'd better point out (being a completely unbiased co-judge) that in the U12 omnium it was actually Nathan who was awarded first place, Archie 2nd. They were joint first on points so overall results were given based on placings in the 1 lap sprint. Wilf and Sam were 3rd equal on points as well, same process to decide the places.
Also, Ellie Mitchinson fell foul of Max's slightly over-zealous handicapping system. She was actually second in the scratch
races. She rode really well.
Lindsey
Even the cars are in CCA colours. It just needs a big CCA logo mowed into the middle and then we'd really be on the map!
