I'm available to help with whatever is required - may also have a 9 year old "helper" with me!

BC have updated their website and youth events are getting added all the time. Below is the link to the updated youth racing calendar (within 60m of Ashwell) Click here

After many times trying to log in, I managed to get through to the page via my mobile. On clicking the receipt button it says my registration was cancelled on 28/01. I guess that means that my application wasn't successful. D'oh... Pretty poor way o…

Thanks Richard This is a great opportunity to bust some of the myths about gearing and help parents/riders for youth gear restrictions J

If it was 4cm larger I would bite your hand off!! Good luck selling J

Hi Scott, The max gearing you can run for Ethans bike (Worx 26" cross bike) in the U10's category is a 13 sprocket on the rear. This is as he is running a 36 chainring on 26" wheel with 23-25mm tyres. To achieve this you have 2 choices, you can eith…

D'oh - same day as the Ixworth crits!

Bringing back to the top - and for a reason! Come along on to the club night for a chance to discuss CC Ashwells potential role in a new cycle racing series in 2015.... An opportunity has been presented to CC Ashwell to support one of a new series o…

I am at a loss as to how it has taken me until today, which is over 27 years of riding for cycling clubs, to realise that this form of cyclesport is so much fun. Wow - I am proper buzzing after this afternoon! Thank you to Andrew & Stef for arra…
-
My mate Peter will be coming along - have added him to the list on doodle poll. He will need a 56cm bike and size 12 shoes
-
Vinegar? You being serious! Is that to ensure the rubber is clean and free from grit? May drop a 13 sprocket on that would take me up to 89" - or I could just spin it out!
-
Considering bringing my own bike - it fulfills the criteria above - just want to check the gearing. The bike is running a 44x14.... Would an 82" gear be OK or undergeared for the session? JRVM

Now sold on ebay

4/5 of us booked for the 140km route - Hadlsey, Pell(s), Me and my mate Pete.... Any more up for it? Click here for a taster of the smoother roads!

Only 3 out tonight, David, Peter & Myself 1:01 lap - human pace with actual real life conversation. Bit cold and damp so the isotonic refreshment at the end was skipped. Highlights include peters dodgy cardboard mudflap (lasted half a lap), 1 rab…
-
Am running a fewmins late myself - some lame excuse about wives and trains! We can hang on a few mins till you get there FD - I'll PM you my mobile no JRVM
-
4 out tonight Dave, Peter, Keith & me Good ride, quick pace, wet in parts (which I noticed whilst getting a faceful of mud off of Keiths back wheel - Ta!) And all rounded off with a nice pint at the 2 Chimneys. They seem to have gotten used to mu…
-
Neither did I Tim, until last night when I tried to wimp out and was told by Mrs Q that I wouldn't let Samuel get away with that sort of behaviour!
-
Really good result Nathan. I took part in the novice race. First novice race I've seen with guys riding £4k carbon cross bikes - they shot off into the distance after the first 2 corners never to be seen again! Having now experienced cross for the…
-
Great session tonight Mark. Samuel really enjoyed it, even though he was a bit wobbly at times! ;-) Fantastic for technique and handling confidence - everyone should have a go! J
-
4 out tonight (3 to start with and FD joining us like a glowing UFO at Letchworth gate) - good ride at human pace - 57m moving time with just over an hour incl stops. Felt OK despite nearly 3 weeks off the bike. Sorry I didn't get much chance to cha…
-
7:45 start now after all. Bloomin trains.... Come one Dutchy, it's warm in lovely Letchworth!
-
Hi guys, After the early start promises the earliest I can make is now 7:15... Sorry J
-
Just noticed this clashes with the club night - D'oh Depending on who plans to ride we could either start slightly earlier to get to the puncture master class at 9pm or divert the ride via Ashwell. Preferences in a post pls? J
-
I'm in also and making up the beginner numbers - also to get my head around boards riding in prep for my potential BC track coaching accreditation. I also hear its great fun! Thanks Andrew for arranging Jamie
-
Hi Martin, I've went to watch the pro race in 2012 and 2013 and its well worth hanging around for, lots of brits do the Sat ride and watch the pro race. For the last couple of years the race has gone up the Oude Kwaremont 3 times and this is a great…
-
Not tonight for me - turbo it is.... You should be set for some records on the Hitchin Letchworth gate sectors. Tail wind all the way Enjoy J
-
Looked at the cross bike tonight with the intention of some turbo training. Turns out that at some point during last nights ride my chain was replaced with a long muddy snake, which appears to have died and shrivelled up overnight. Think I might nee…
-
Good ride tonight. 50% Pell-eton. Wet, wet, wet! Bang on 1hr total ride time, although I'm sure some of you had a much lower moving average. Forgot to set my Strava running - did I even do this ride? - did I watch a film about Everest? - if it's not …
