Tonights Club TT (Tuesday 11th June)Posted on 2019-06-11 by Janice Wakefield
In view of extremely poor weather conditions tonight's TT is Cancelled. Weather forecast showing gusting winds of 42 mph plus high chance of large amounts of standing water, I feel conditions mean it would not be safe to ride.
Club road race 30th MayPosted on 2019-05-30 by Janice Wakefield
We have just been out to sweep the corners for tonight's road race and unfortunately there are gritters out on the circuit. We feel it would be unsafe for the riders to race on fresh grit so sadly we have made the decision to cancel tonight's event.

TIME TRIAL SAFETYPosted on 2019-05-07 by Janice Wakefield
When taking part in any club or open Time trial, Cycling Time trial rules state that marshals are not in place to control traffic and riders must adhere to the rules of the highway. This means at junctions such as Laceby Roundabout the onus is on the rider to safely negotiate their way around the junction and give way to traffic as per the normal "Give Way to traffic from the right". Please ride safely.
Club Handicap Road racingPosted on 2019-05-03 by Janice Wakefield
The first of our 3 race series kicks off Thursday 30th May. Being designed to open up the chance to have a go at road racing they are open to club members only. The move to Thursday avoids disrupting the TT series and means riders can still ride a TT as well.
All events are run on a Handicap basis to enable riders to ride with others of similar ability. Handicapping is not an exact science but with subsequent events on the same circuit the results from event 1 can be used to help with events 2 and 3.
IMPORTANT. To ride you must have a TLI Licence. These cost £15. see http://www.tlicycling.org.uk/JoinRenew.aspx?cookieCheck=true
