After school track club update

HASVC - HASBC

This Autumn 2016 HASVC will be on hold with no planned regular track sessions applied for. Instead a new BMX provision Hackney After Schools BMX Club - HASBC with be rolled out as an alternative. Dates and sign up information will be confirmed in due course.

http://hasvc.blogspot.co.uk/2016/08/hasvc-hasbc.html

The area's Go-Ride Outreach Coach (Russell Hampton) is set to pick up where HASVC left off with a new weekly session aimed at beginners and those seeking track accreditation. This is due to start this September and I'm told the fee would be £10.00 per session. This project is focused on developing young riders into LVV youth track league racers.

CCH 2016 Open season Track Meeting - Report and Results

What an eventful day. On arrival I found out that the commissaire had gone off to the hospital with his partner, who had injured herself in training. Luckily Neil was on hand to step straight in and become Chief Commissaire for the day. We were very short on volunteers so the wonderful people of Herne Hill stepped up to the mark and helped ensure that OUR event would run smoothly. We owe them a debt of gratitude.
Not the best turnout in rider numbers. 33 Senior A/B riders, 7 Women and 23 Youth riders. As this was OUR Open Track event it was a shame to see no CCH Adult riders. The racing went as planned and everything ran to time. We had a great day with some competitive races. The funniest part of the day was when we had a short sharp downpour and all the competitors ran into our sign on tent to keep dry.

Thanks to the Youth CCH who raced and/or helped. Special thanks to the Dash family, Carol, Jess, Andy, Neil, John, Prosper and Paul for helping on the day.

Adults/Seniors

New to group riding? Please check here
Or a here for The Guardian's article.

Sunday morning Club runs 8am set off from the *CCH HQ at 6 Olympus Square, Nightingale Estate, London, E5 8PL or by arrangement from Palm 2 (Clapton Pond) at 9am. New riders are welcome to turn up and join in but we advise all cyclists coming along to be willing and able to travel solo should the need arise. Ideally able includes the ability to repair or change a tube in the event of a puncture. Going 'solo' may be in the event of having to go home earlier (for any reason) and navigate the way back to London; most people can point to the metropolis. In any case we hope you'll enjoy being with CC Hackney enough to want to join the club.
LATEST INFO SPRING 2016:

The 'standard' club run is about 70km in total, back in Hackney at about half past eleven. It goes out to Epping and then on a loop through the Toot Hill bumps and eventually Theydon Bois - fairly lumpy, though this is Essex, so hardly mountainous. Ending up back at Epping High Beach for tea and cake, before the ride home.

The pace varies a bit depending on who's out, but the average speed is usually around 12-15kph average speed. And it's a traditional social Sunday club run, so the group will always wait after climbs etc and make sure everyone's back together.

Then there's usually one or more groups doing a somewhat longer (and quicker) ride - about 100km. Often out to a place called Writtle, for a cafe stop there at just over the half way point. The average speed on this one will be somewhere between 28 - 34kph depending on wind, mood, and again who's out. This ride is a bit more feisty - so won't necessarily wait for everyone after climbs etc, at least on the way home. The 'Ace' ride gets back to Hackney at about 1pm, usually.

All the rides start together at the club house *HQ at 8am, from where we ride out to High Beach. It's there that we split into groups, for the different rides.

For all these rides, prospective members are welcome to come and try it out to see how it is. If good going and happy CCH does ask riders to join the club after 2 or 3 rides.

Gareth Ramsey (Club Run Leader)

During the racing season faster groups may form depending on demand (and initiative) and special training rides/trips may occur.
