CCH's club run to Cold Christmas 2018!

Earlier today CC Hackney regular club rider Isobel Siddons organised and led a seasonal adult club run extra to Cold Christmas East Hertfordshire. According to whatsapp reports this social ride was an enjoyable & fun time. For those who were unable to attend let's hope that it becomes another CCH annual tradition and make it next time - good going and roll on 2019 - happy new year!

   

Young Hasbi gets younger Omar on the way with his first bike - seasons greetings!

Two of Hackney boys have been brought together by CC Hackney & Interlinkx CiC. They are from two housing estates (E5 & E9) and don't know each other yet but are connected by being club members and cycle enthusiasts. Eleven year old Hasbi pictured below is a regular attendee at Fawcett Estate's bike maintenance club. He volunteered his session time to renovate an old discarded bike to donate to Kingsmead Estate's eight year old Omar, of Concorde Bike Club. This is Omar's first ride, he is most happy with it and wants to send Hasbi his thanks and very best wishes.

 'You guys (CC Hackney) have being doing a great job for a long time and deserve the recognition'

"I'd like to say that as the club's manager I'm hugely proud of CC Hackney's team efforts over the years; that's assistant manager Neil Irons, all of the coaching staff and the young riders since starting out. To receive the Hackney Sports Club of the Year award in 2018 is a great way to recognise CC Hackney's on going durability and commitment to the community. It means a lot to us, thanks for this it's great!

Our club coach Jessica Feeney Davis was in attendance to collect the trophy saying:

"I’m so proud of us!"

Cold, grey November...time to hit the beach!

Cross training special.
Last Saturday morning the Concorde group visited the newly opened Ive Farm sports ground where we had a nice time playing beach volley ball - what else to do on a cold and grey November morning!

CCH youth track bikes get converted by Interlinkx CiC

Seven down three to go!

Ten CCH youth track bikes are being converted from fixed wheel track bikes (with limited use applications) into regular use single speed freewheelers. This is mainly so that if any young attendees arrive without bikes they can still enjoy rides with their club on quality and youth size related cycles.

Most of the costs for this operation were paid for by a small Young Hackney grant of £500.00 via Hackney Council. Other costs including labour have been covered by Interlinkx CiC. The amount for each bike in the end was £78.30 - this is good economy & money well spent.
