Zwift Events Sunday 3 December

 

As tomorrow's IRL rides have been cancelled there will be a Zwift ride at 10:30 immediately followed by a race at 11:00. Both events use the London Classique route (11.1km).

 
All are welcome to enter the events using these links

Recce./sighting lap/warm up: -

We will all ride together provided you are pedaling (known as rubberbanding).

Race event: -

Even though it is a short race and choice of equipment may be irrelevant, so as it can be seen to be fair please switch to the Zwift carbon frame and the Zwift 32mm wheelset.

We can chat if you use/install Discord (you will need a second device/mobile if you also use the Companion app) - here is the link to join the server: -

Once logged in to the CCC server, navigate to Voice Channels/Gaming.

Annual General Meeting

The Annual General Meeting of Cambridge Cycling Club will be held online at 7pm on Monday 13th November. Please note the date: a Zoom link will be sent round later along with the agenda, papers and proposals. Do please try to attend - it is your opportunity to shape the direction of the club and to make sure we meet the needs of the membership while reviewing the year that has gone.

If anyone has any agenda items, proposals or suggestions, please send them to Colin at gensec@cambridge-cycling-club.org.uk by October 8th, so your Committee can consider them and we can add them to the papers.

This is also an opportunity for you to join the Committee and directly assist in helping the club - we have a number of committee members standing down and it is always great to freshen the committee and hear new voices. Do step forward: if you are interested please contact Colin or speak to one of the other Committee members.

We really need someone to come forward to organise our road race, the Ike Saul memorial race, as Tom Begg is stepping down from that role. We need one (or more) of our roadies to take on the role. Full support will be provided, of course.
 

Mudguards and Clubruns

Members are reminded that mudguards are required on club-runs 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. Get yours here: -

Ian Gooden

It is with sadness to let you know that Club member Ian Gooden did not survive a road traffic accident on Friday 21 July 2023 which occurred near Bourne (Lincolnshire).

The funeral will be at Teversham Parish Church on Friday 15 September at 2:30pm.

Members wishing to pay their respects should contact Debbie Hooker.
