Huge congratulations to Gavin McCloskey-Lambert who just received his well deserved RRA red cap for smashing the Circuit of Yorkshire Dales record last year with an incredible time of 5:59.10!
The weekly Wattbike sessions are back, starting on the 2nd Feb. Last time we had these they were fantastic as everyone gets a workout regardless of fitness. Andy is a great coach, it’s a fiver and runs from 7-8pm every Wednesday at the National Cycling Centre. Perfect for meeting and riding with other members with no worry of getting dropped.
If you’re not a member yet but you want to try one before you join us then feel free. All sessions are on the rides list, please sign up to make sure you get a spot.
See you there,
Holly

On 19th May, the club is hosting round 1 of the Midweek MTB Madness series at Kenworthy Woods (Chorlton waterpark). It’s a fantastic event and this year we’re using chip timing to minimise complications. To help make this event a success I need at least ten marshals to help out from 18:30 until 20:30. It’s always a really friendly event and I promise there will be cake and premium fizzy pop to keep you refreshed. If you can help out please send me an email at charlesdennison@aol.com and I will send out some more detailed information.
Thanks, Charles
