Cycling Time Trials is the governing body for most UK time trialling (including our CCA club events). It divides the country into regionally-based districts within which clubs are registered. Time trial course codes reflect these districts, and Londo…

Bump. Can this be stickied please? Parents will find this useful in advance of a race-planning meeting.

Things are looking good Below is the update I just posted at the project's Facebook page. If things stay on target we will have a batch of new track bikes in the summer for our Thursday evening grass track sessions. Even so, there are still like…

Gareth (U14) and James (U10) represented CC Ashwell at the Lee Valley Youth CC circuit races yesterday. The expected fresh snow hadn't fallen overnight but at 9:00 a.m. the Redbridge circuit still had ice on it, and it was doubtful that the first eve…

These may look like scenes from the siege of Stalingrad, but our hardy CXers were shrugging off -4 deg C in the snow this evening.

Even better, wouldn't it be great if there was a velodrome as close as somewhere like Harlow? Oh hang on... It was replaced by a Sainsburys, I think.

It's worth bearing in mind the new Bournemouth track too, as it's currently easier to book than Manchester or Newport. It's 250m and therefore very similar geometry to M and N. It's an outdoor track so subject to weather, but if a session is cancelle…

Steve, Sophie Saberton from St Ives CC was looking for Under 12 team mates a few days ago. If you don't get two other CCA Under 12s coming forward quickly then Mark could perhaps form a composite team with her. You only need three in a team as a mini…

Tarmac, or beer?

Helena, Adam, Felix and James have formed an Under 12 team. Anna will be pleased to ride for the women's team. Mark F

It was a great event & an excellent venue. As well as the riders listed above, we also had Craig Dyce finishing an impressive 10th in the veterans/women race, just 2.5 minutes behind the winner. Within the results already mentioned, Helena Dyce …

Do you need a drop-barred Luath in particular or are you also interested in a flat-barred Islabike Beinn? I have a blue Beinn 24 which I'll be selling soon. It's pretty versatile - my son has used it for cyclocross, MTB, triathlons, and the occasiona…

Hello Alistair, Very interested. Will whisper you a message in a moment. Mark F

The current status of this project is as follows:- "The latest figure from Islabikes is that they have received requirements for 52 bikes so far. There are also a few clubs which have contacted Islabikes but havent yet given their likely numbers w…

Another good one - Mark W cleaning his bike mid-race...

A great course, classic cyclocross weather, and packed fields in every race (280 riders in total!) made it a great day out at Grafham today. Plenty of CC Ashwell representation across all ages. I'll leave it to those who raced to give reports, but he…

Absolutely. It's an idyllic setting, and last year's races were excellent. The Under 12s course was very straightforward last year - and, don't worry, U12s certainly don't need to tackle the beaches! These are a few snaps from last year:-

Have just whispered you a message Lindsey. Mark F
