Good idea! HA&CC hire bikes are supplied with toe clips & straps. They do not allow pedals to be swapped unfortunately.

AdeR

have a good 'un @ the masters Dave

AdeR

pretty please!

AdeR

You're a star Dave. Matt will lead the session. We had a good turn out last time - the main thing is to organise parents with hi viz vests so they can cordon off the shale pitch. Ensuring the riders who have brought their own bikes ride steadily in an anti clockwise direction round the edge while Ma...

Hoping for Oct 31st

AdeR

Is anyone free between 5 & 6 on Tues 29th? Matt Blythe of BC can put on a coaching session for the kids but needs some help. We had a really good turn out this week. I'm having a week off. It would be great if this could go ahead anyway.

AdeR

If you're racing the club track champs please could you book in asap? This would really help me plan the programme. Thanks. Beacon RCC Track Championships 2021 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 12:00 Halesowen. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/beacon-r ... 1364028885

Hello All, I'm not sure at this point how much track racing I'm going to be able to do this summer. I think that it would be a good idea for me to step down as track captain - a role that I've enjoyed. The carefully calibrated plan has led to some notable successes (!) & well done to all who have ra...

AdeR

Many thanks for a great club run Phil. Incidentally, did you know that somewhere on Clows top is a plaque in memory of the late great Hughie Maguire. Please let me know if we're heading out that way again, and I'll try & find out exactly where it is.

AdeR

I've put the academy events up https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/club/ ... n-roads-cc suggest we put adult events there too.
