I also spotted young Logan Ayers who I think is still an Under 10:- D 38 Logan Ayers (CCA) 33:22 How about that? And also in the midday edition of the race:- B 42 James Fraser (CCA) 25:35 He can’t have sat on a bike for more than two hours in t…

Ed, you are listed in ZP in fact but you’re shown with an “UPG” against your name in the results (ZP says that your minimum category is B ). I’ll be sorry to see you leave the Cs - now I’ll have to fend for myself against our friends from Hitchin No…

A couple more CCA’ers were in the 12:20 pm women’s race today too:- B 15th Jenny Andrews 25:24 D 5th Anna Fraser 29:01 Mark F

John - it's now at 6:30 pm, presumably to avoid clashing with the 8:00 pm clap-for-carers. It shows on my Companion app. Mark F

How cheap, Brendan? There are quite a few rear fixed wheels with aluminium rims available at £45 to £50 (Merlin Cycles, Cycle Surgery, Decathlon). Mark F

Sallie - do you want to use the bike with a tyre-driven Tacx turbo or a direct-drive model (i.e. Flux or Neo)? The Robert Axle Project (which sounds like it should be a 70s prog rock band) makes a 12x142 RAT thru axle converter for Focus bikes to u…

Unfortunately Arkesden village hall has almost no parking of its own. We had some special arrangements for parking space in the village for the hill climb which wouldn't be possible for the Primavera I'm afraid. Mark F

The race report in the East Anglian Daily Times mentions Lillie & CCA. Eagle-eyed readers will spot Jenny in a photo too. https://eadt.co.uk/sport/stow-scramble-2020-report-1-6458492

Messaged you, Taff, regarding collection.

Anna and I plan to be there. Thanks. Mark F

Anna and Emma each had a very good race at Redgrave. The super-twisty course with lots of tight muddy corners and awkward adverse cambers allowed them to use their excellent bike control skills to give them an advantage. Emma was unlucky at the end…

Yes please Taff. Will message you. Mark F

We’ve got a full field, 100 cowbells, a fancy burger/coffee van, and some great prizes (as well as some slightly tongue-in-cheek prizes too...) And Martin and Emma are both featured in my “Local Heroes” previews https://facebook.com/105038147583…

We’ve reached 100 entries so have closed the books. I’ve counted five or six CCA senior riders and three CCA youth riders among the entrants. I filmed the course today so this video gives those riders a taste of the climb: Hill of Dreams So now yo…

There will be a few special categories too including a "Clydesdale" category: the rider plus bike must be OVER 15 stone / 95.5 kg to qualify. There will be a weigh-in on the day to check that those claiming to be Clydesdales are indeed true Clydesda…

Katie Scotter (a regular top performer within Eastern Region) has two very small mega-spec cantilever 2x11 bikes for sale right now:- “For Sale - Ridley X-Night XXS Cyclocross bikes Two bikes for sale. Both feature full carbon frame sets, …

I’ve had several pairs of wheels from Superstar Components over the years at very low price and light weight. And if you use the code AUGUSTBANK this weekend you’ll get 35% (!) off. So these wheels, for example, end up at £97: https://www.supersta…

Good luck all of you! I hate to break it to you, Martin, but Colin Sturgess wasn’t just a national multi-champion - he was World Pro Pursuit Champion.... i.e. rainbow jersey and everything He also broke the 10 mile national record a few years ear…

Well done Stuart & Jackie. Audax is the sport's best kept secret - don't tell everyone or it will become all about finishers' T-shirts & medals before you know it! When I was a lad many of the successful long distance time triallists came …

Meanwhile... CCA's team of veteran women had a great cyclocross season. Some highlights:- - CCA had more riders in the veteran women's league than any other club or team. - Anna, Stevie, Jackie and Emma finished 6th, 7th, 9th and 10th overall in …

Stevie W sacrificed her own race by stopping to help two injured riders who fell heavily in the crash soon after the start of the women's race.

@jackie Field if you scroll to see all of the size options to the right hand side you can see there’s also a “Child 134” size jersey against your name too.
