One of the many delights of cyclocross is the great variation in courses. Inevitably this means people end up having favourites - mine is Hempton. I arrived today to be greeted by a worried looking Hadsley “There’s no run up, they’ve had to c…

Indeed, many thanks to Max for his most interesting talk. Thanks too to Martin for organizing it all, although I am a bit disappointed by the conspicuous absence of round, friable, salted crackers with a serrated perimeter. Max and Sandra seemed …

...or should we ride the Dec 17th event in the Open race as a team?
-
Good to make a decision on this. It will never suit everyone. I'll book my place...

I was quite happy with 'the extra lap'. Hard race for sure. I think it was improved from last year and I agree with Dave it is a good course. I need to learn some more braverly from Nathan and Archie. Off to Shuttleworth today for the Central Lea…

Still showing 80 places this morning. However it seems to be accepting breakfast entries.

Arh, nice to see another club member using the 'alternative counting method'; it is a well used device. Dan, sounds like you had your (rear) brake on going up that hill?
-
Really hard race today. It took me a while to recover. Still I think others found it tough too. Big news was that William Daniels did his second race. Nice one!

Nice article in the Eastern Daily Press: http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-rider-paul-groombridge-just-misses-out-on-victory-at-cc-ashwell-event-1-5230008

Good shout Peter. Bit bleary eyed this mornining and I forgot...

Please can the club be advised when it is expected that the grass track be available to use again?

No trousers

A great day to be running a cyclocross event and a much appreciated and successful one. My sincere thanks to all who helped. It goes without saying that without such dedicated effort the event would not have happened. We are very grateful t…

The club run is especially welcome to call in on the CCA Cyclocross race at Princess Helena College, Preston, nr Hitchin.

The final preparations are being put into place; beans are being loaded into coffee machines and potatoes peeled for frites. Looking forward to setting up this afternoon from 13:30, thanks to those who are coming. The Event Programme can be found h…

We could really use some more people volunteering here. With the noteable exception of Will Smith non of the roadies have have volunteered to help with this event. Richard Lawrence and I have trained as Accredited Marshals and are obligued to mar…

Dave, were you thinking of proposing the Central League event on December 17th? It clashes with an Eastern League event but the Central course that day HAS A BRIDGE.
-
I need to thank Yoda. I was definately way out of control coming down Pyg Lane (AKA Pen-y-gent Lane); to brake would have resulted in a serious off (honestly I thought I would be killed if I came off). Every part of me wanted grip the brakes on; ho…

Simon, based on your comments I conclude the French and Yorkshire sensibilities towards that hue of pink are the same as our mutual friend Tim got similar comments during the race.
-
...or how about December 1st and 2nd in Mol?
-
I did the London League Cyclopark event last year. It wasn't the same course as the inter regional; that was an amzing course. I am assuming that the Trophy race held on November 26 will be on the incredible Cyclopark course. I would be happy to d…

Update on CC Luton Dave: he is being stoical but has nasty bruising and some cuts on his stomach. He's made of strong stuff though. Luke; don't forget the mudflaps.
-
Ah, a bug in the system. This could be more disruptive than the deposit on 4 safety pins. I predict riots.
-
The question of which cyclocross bike to buy depends on what you want to use it for. For racing I would recommend a single chainring as it is both easier to clean and the absence of a derailleur makes the build up of mud and detritus less likely. …

Yes a really great event today. MC is on some very special form! I am feeling very fatigued and my legs hurt. Great day for a long ride around the fields. I knew some of the lanes and paths; it was great to have it all put together into a grand…

How lovely to read your account of a great event.
-
Yes indeed, thanks to all who helped. Special thanks to JMac who has kept this show on the road to a high standard. Thanks James.
-
Nice and relaxed feel to tonight’s grass track hearing about holidays. Some went MTB riding in Cornwall, some downhill MTB in France, some touring in Wales and, in my case, getting freaked out in a cow field on my CX bike. We managed some kilo ti…

Great to head your report, thanks. Camping makes sense of Mildenhall. It really then becomes a festival of cycling. Well done all. Agree with your comments Martin. Irritatingly the CX (pre) season does risk treading on its toes a bit.
