Are you getting the ferry to Dieppe and then riding the Avenue Vert all the way to Paris? I did this and back last Easter bank holiday weekend with some friends from Lea Valley CC. It’s a lovely route, nice rolling terrain all the way there. Coming…

Richard M, Phil K, Dave H, Andrew R, Dave W, Shelton P, Emma P, Adam S, Lil S, Daniel D, Stef D and Richard L. That’s 12 members in a club of 150 that are volunteering to help out. The other regular members who help have sent me their apologies fo…

The Judging role has been filled (by a non-CCA member), I still need an assistant (preferably one who owns an iPad they can record the laps over the line with. It’s a short circuit this year, so there will be 10 laps in each race, not like last yea…
-
We need two judges who will be happy to stand on the finish line and record the order in which the riders come over the line. They will need to keep track of things for the prime laps, so we know who to give the prizes too and also take the numbers o…

IMPORTANT info: I’ve assigned people to some roles for the race, if you have any problems with doing these roles, drop me a PM and I’ll see what I can do. WE STILL NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS TO HELP For those who are putting up signs, please meet at …

Will be sifting through the race entries tomorrow, we will have a full field for sure in the men’s race and 36 in the women’s race. The entry closes at midnight tonight but I will be taking entry on the line on the day, so keep the word spreading…

Thanks Dave, I’ll stick you down!

Hello all, still a few people short for the race and it’s getting a bit closer... Every helping hand is greatly appreciated. Entry deadline is this Sunday so I will be sitting down and doing the admin on Monday, expect another post then! …
-
Cheers Phil, that’s great. Fancy coming along early and sticking some signs up and maybe doing a little driving? I’ve added a little description of the job duties up on the list to help people decide what they’d like to do to help out. …

Hello all, We’ll be needing more than the 5 volunteers currently on the list for this race to go ahead. With sponsorship from Bicicletta Velo and Trisports and BC supporting the race, the motorbike marshals I’ve already booked and the accredited…

Carmelo, I’ve got a small tmgpro and a small endura skinsuit for sale second hand. You’re smaller than me, won’t a medium be a bit baggy on you?
-
Although if we don't get around 12-15 people to help out it won't be happening! Please sign up if you're free and willing. Let me know ASAP

Hi Damon, it’s a short 8 mile circuit with a hill that doesn't seem like much but after a few laps at pace will probably be a bit grim. Seeing as it's such a short race hopefully it will be fast and furious (and safe). It's Elmdon - Crawley E…

I’m going to have to drop off early, have to work in London in the evening so will have to be on a train from Letchworth around 5.30. Will pop out for the first few hours though...
-
Thanks Andrew! We’re going to need a judge and assistant judge this year as Mark can’t make the race day. He’s happy to help people with what they'll need to do at some time before the day. A few slow-mo recordings on iPads/iPhones from differe…
-
Sure Mark, will bring it along on the 23rd if you’re going to be there?
-
With the races being relocated to a different circuit, we will only be needing accredited marshals, so the regular red flag volunteers have been let off the hook. Although we still need people to help with the driving and various other things. Curre…

In knew that if I turned round and stopped to say hi I probably would have just ended up cycling back home and spending the day on the sofa... sorry not to stop!

Hello! Passed you in Ashwell, everybody looking a bit tired but also rather skinny. Good work. Will catch you out on the road soon when I’m back up to a bit of fitness!
-
Yup, I should be around for this too
-
Great stuff, thanks chaps!
-
Yes please Stef! Do you want to be chief marshal? I think you get a crown and some sort of orb and sceptre.
-
Sorry Dave, my boo boo with the date! Wrote it in the middle of a show last night, brain half off. Have corrected it!
-
Down to a grand for anybody interested...
-
You can use pretty much any brakes with any shifters... it’s just a spring and a bit of wire...
-
This is really sad, come on guys! There must be somebody who rides the time trials who would be interested in helping the club out. It would be a real shame to lose these events. I would step up but unfortunately I work in the evenings so can’t tak…
-
I bought a Boardman Pro 29er second hand off Facebook. It’s brilliant fun! Only £450 too...
-
Great stuff! I remember that feeling after the hill climbs... stick the skinsuit in the cupboard and get your winter thermals out. Coffee rides seem so much more fun when you’ve got a season of racing behind you. Chapeau!

Hi Richard, There’s usually a bunch of cyclists that meet on Hodwell (turn right out of the tuns, take the first right and follow the road round to the left). 9.30am I do believe... Will

Great news Alastair! Glad you started pinning some numbers on over here. You’re going to enjoy the road racing scene I think, and I have no doubts you’ll do exceedingly well on it too! Congrats on the win!
