The programme for the 2012 Road Challenge Series has now been updated on the website.
Please got to the main website, go to 'Challenge' Section in the left
hand side menu. All the info, events etc has been updated in that
section. The events have also been added to the calendar.
Dates for this year's Thursday evening time trials are now on the website on the usual page. Following discussion at the OGM and subsequent committee meetings we're trying a mix of events that hopefully provides plenty of variety while at the same time slightly reducing the number of marshals required and hence - perhaps - avoiding the need to cancel any events this year due to lack of help.
We need event organisers and then helpers for each event. If you're happy to organise one of the events please contact the series organiser, Heather, via thursdaytt@cliftoncc.org
With over 100 items of new clothing already sold, we have organised a second open evening at York Cycleworks.
Next Open Evening - Monday 16th January, from 6.30-9.30pm
Best way to guarantee you get summer clothing including, shorts & tops
Orders placed will be ready for collection w/c 5th March 2012
Chance to order leg and arm warmers in Clifton's new design
(red arms & black leg)

The Day Meet at Adderstone field, which is way along the forest drive, past the visitor centre, down to the lake, up the other side and then turn into the field on your left opposite Dixons Hollow (the jump park).
Start times are 11 - 3. Turn up, register at the desk and ride when you are ready.
We will have a BBQ so please bring some food to pop on there! We will be around all day so come and hang out with your fellow mtbers. It's a good opportunity to meet everyone.
Please bring a gps that can log your route if you can get hold of one. Each rider must carry a gps for their lap to count as we have no marshals on the route. We have gps's for loan but are relying on kind people to loan them out.
We have 5 garmins for people to use so far. If anyone else doesn't mind lending theirs to someone for a lap please let me know as that would be most helpful.
The Dalby toll road charge is £7, you will have to pay this if you take your car in to the forest.
Last Tuesday 17th May saw the second in the six-race circuit series, with Clifton taking on organisation duties.
The 4ths-only race went well with a few race newcomers having a go - including Clifton's Andy Myers who joined Tim, Reuben and Simon D. Some pics below. The 2/3/4 race saw a break of six get away and, apparently, quite a bit of bad language - see the Race Results section of veloriders forum for more details!
