Racing with Clifton CC
Alongside the social rides and participation in challenges of various
sorts, Clifton riders compete in road-based competition of all kinds.
The club has a long history of success in time trialling, and this
discipline continues to be an important one for the club today. It
provides a way in to competitive riding for newcomers, with the club
organising an evening TLI series which reflects a belief that events
should take place on quiet, safe roads. These events are well run but
low-key and have a friendly atmosphere, welcoming newcomers to both the
club and the sport.
The club has road racers who compete within the region and beyond, and
their success resulted in Clifton topping British Cycling's regional
rankings for Yorkshire in 2006. In addition to this, club members
compete in a local race series and in veteran's racing. Newcomers to the
sport are welcomed and encouraged. Regular training rides are organised
by the club, and members also train and ride together informally.
There's an annual hillclimb to finish off the road season, and for road
riders who like to get a little muddier we have members who compete in
cyclocross and MTB racing.
