Big thank you to everyone who gave up their Sunday morning to Marshall, run the cars, judge and refreshments. As ever you did CCA proud. Tough racing in the wind at times but great fun trying to hang on to the fast lads. Well done Barron and john! Ch…

Good turn out for the faster group tonight (Robbie, Stef, Will, Martin, Martin, MC, Daniel, Andy, Vincent). A welcome appearance from Will after his fancy latex tyres blew up ahead of his Nomad TT giving him the night off. Group stayed together for t…

Echo what has been said above - thanks to everyobe who helped out and made it such a lovely day. There was a strong field of riders and great to see so many of the youth riders give the 5k a crack! Many of the lads from the other clubs commented on …

I'll probably pop along with Archie - any idea what the cost is? Iain

Classic fast chaing gang...steady and organised first lap, hang on for dear life second lap. Good stuff. Ave were around 23-24 for first lap and 26s second lap. Not sure the 35mph was hit very often! We shouted the change in formation (but obviously …

I'm racing in the 4th cat race tomorrow morning. I can bring an extra Ashwell jersey if that helps? Iain

Hi Peter - that's great! I've also found another year 7 boy who is interested so we should now have enough for a team. I'll whisper you my e-mail address and then I can forward you all the info / we can arrange transport etc.

Does taking part in the Cat4 Milton Keyne's bowl count as racing - I've signed up to have a go at a few? can't make the 12th unfortunately, but the inner caveman is pleased that Curry and carbs is the way to go on the diet front for racing! Iain

er, yes that's me. Bit of downtime so hired the old Giant ($16) and headed off to Malibu, warm, no pot holes and some nice climbs...Robbie - surely it has to be one of the future club jaunts...! Iain

ouch - hope things mend quickly Strappy. Puncture fairy back for me - after picking up a flint on the way out (in the new tyre) picked up another one coming back into ashwell! Bring on spring! Iain

Thanks for the great ride, Tim for navigating and Alex for the spare Tube. Sorry to hold everyone up with the run of punctures - I will put the kids to work on the duff tubes to earn some pocket money! Cheers Iain
-
Fantastic results to both - in fact all the racers. Great to see this side of the club develop!
-
Cheers Matt. Close run thing - turned into more of a last-man-standing event by the end of tour! Trophy looks awesome - I should be around tuesday at club night. Iain

Nice day for a bike race! Thanks to all the marshalls for giving up their Sunday morning and to Carmello for putting on a great race. Great result Tom - got to be a podium next year! Iain
-
Thanks to Tim, David, Shelton and all the Marshalls out on the course. Legs were sore today - bring back the sunday club run! Iain
-
I can step down too if someone wants my place (Archie wouldn't forgive me if I went without him!). We can make some other time or when they lower the age group. I think this has been a fair and clear process - get your name down sooner if you wan…

Thanks Jack, Julie, Tim & Mark (and Marshalls) - great event and the kids loved all that mud - washing machine is well bunged up! Iain

Unlucky Adam. Hope it mends quickly, you did well to sit there in the cold with that injury. Iain

Gives me a good excuse to do the old Peugeot up...i've pre-registered

Thanks Gareth - and great choice of location to take the pics!

Great day's racing on the grass track yesterday - thanks to everyone that helped organise it and feed everyone - it made for a great end to the grass track season. Some fantastic performances all round despite the skiddy conditions (see jamie's photo…

The Tour passing nearby provides a great opportunity to generate more sponsorship and PR and to provide a base on which to build for future years. Who knows we could get a feature on the ITV4 programme! The emphasis on a festival village/ local event…

Hi Tim Happy to be a reserve also - plenty of faster people, so happy to be plan d! Iain

Great evening - and thanks again Geoff for organising it. Archie wont forget it in a hurry (he was 10 that day) and is desperate to have another go. Me too for that matter, great fun once you got over the feeling that bikes shouldn't be ridden sidewa…

Thanks Carmelo, all the marshalls, support cars and those providing the tea, cake and support! Great to see a full field and so many blue shirts. Unfortunately, after just a couple of laps I had a mechanical...my legs packed up. I need to find some c…
