Mudguards and Clubruns

Club-runners are reminded that mudguards are required whilst the clocks are on Greenwich Mean Time, otherwise you may be asked to ride at the back of the group.

Show consideration to your club-mates by ensuring your rear mudguard extends below the wheel hub.

Attaching a rear mudflap helps considerably. We have custom mudflaps in stock £8. Contact the Clothier.

End of our Club Time Trial season

The final event in this season's schedule was the Hill Climb at Brinkley.

The Woodland Cemetery kindly gave us permission to use their car park as our HQ.

We were fortunate to have pleasant conditions which enabled Kate, Ramona and Mary to serve refreshments.

Congratulations to our Hill Climb Champions Tim and Lucy, not forgetting our League Winners Ben, Lucy and Chris.

Finally, thanks to all members who have helped run our events this season.
 

Annual Hill Climb Wed 21 Aug 18:45hrs

Woodland Cemetery - Congregation & Sign-On

Our final Club event this season is our Annual Hill Climb on Wednesday 21 August using the 1.7 mile course between Six Mile Bottom and Brinkley.

First rider off at 18:46.

Woodland Cemetery have kindly given permission to use their car park at Brinkley to congregate, where riders also sign on.

The start is about 1.4 miles west of the car park on the road to Six Mile Bottom, so arrive in plenty of time to sign-on and get to the start.

Competitors who are not CCC members are welcome to ride for a £5 entry fee.

Should a hill climb not appeal to you, turn up anyway for our end-of-season social where Kate will be providing refreshments. It would be great to see everyone who has participated this season.

Introduction to Group Riding

Cambridge Cycling Club is keen to broaden its reach and offer opportunities for people to get involved and share our love of cycling. We are delighted to offer a series of introductory group rides this summer on the second Saturday of each month.

Our next ride will be on Saturday August 10^th leaving Cambridge Central Station Plaza at 10:00hrs

These rides are aimed at those who are confident riding a road bike and have a good level of general fitness but probably haven’t ridden in a group or organised club setting before. Anyone and everyone is welcome irrespective of age as long as they are over 18 (or over 16 if accompanied by a parent/guardian).

Rides will be between 20 and 25 miles with an optional café stop on route. Speed will be 12-15 mph. Nobody will be left behind. We have four routes planned depending on the wind direction: -

North towards Cottenham and Oakington Garden Centre

South towards Fowlmere and Cafe Amigo

East towards Bottisham and Anglesey Abbey

West towards Bourn and The Stove Cafe

You will need cash/card for the café. A couple of spare inner tubes, tyre levers and a pump. A mobile just in case of a mechanical that we can't fix. A bottle of water, preferably one that can be stored on the bike.

Here is the link to sign up for our rides. If you would prefer not to commit, you are welcome to turn up on the day.
