Club training events at Prissick and on the road.
As Dave Kirton is away until mid week I have been asked to sort Tuesday night’s club/training ride.
So out to Commondale bus stop we go, then back around to Ayton. If it’s raining and cold we can do Clay Bank repeats instead to stay sheltered by the trees. If a fast group wants to chain gang the lanes then that’s up to them.
Meet at Great Ayton car park for 18.00 to set off asap.
Thanks and see you all there.

17th & 18th January, 2015
Everyone congregated at 10:30am Saturday morning for the long awaited CW’s race team ‘away weekend’!
The two groups set off – the steady group taking the more direct, but extremely hilly route over the moors, and the faster group intending to head out towards Osmotherley & Hornby before picking up the main Scarborough road at Helmsley.
Due to road conditions, the fast group had a change of plan, deciding it would be safer to take the lower option – circling around to Northallerton, Thirsk and up over Sutton Bank. Adding the extra mileage put doubt in people’s minds…none more so than Martin Brearey – who then came up with a whole host of excuses for additional ‘stop’s’ – 3 x glove drops, 1 x puncture, 1 x grease on rim. Never the less the group worked well, passing Helmsley, Kirbymoorside and onto Thornton-le-Dale for a well deserved coffee stop, where the steady and fast groups converged.
Tonight (27th Oct) – Monday evening Autumn/Winter bicycle practice:
More pedaling economy, technique, balance on the bike and devilish sprints. If there’s strong cross winds, it’ll be a fantastically welcome extra challenge for tight formation riding.
