CC Hackney welcomes new Junior riders and coach

Sham, Zemi (coach) Fnan & Haben

Introducing our new junior members who are taking part in the Fullgas winter circuit series at Lee Valley Velopark. They hail from Eritrea and join our existing Eritrean junior member Robiel to raise our contingent into a notable force - that's almost a pursuit squad! 
These races are on Saturday afternoon, they join some of our adult racers as a team and any support and interest during these events would be most welcome and appreciated. That's Saturday afternoons at the Velopark.

A remembrance day ride to the seat of UK power and the Battle of Cable Street

Reporting Cycling Club Hackney & Interlinkx CiC's youth group trip from the Concorde Centre in Homerton earlier today: It was a memorable east west town ride on remembrance Sunday. Shortly after pausing for thought at 11am on Cable Street, we stopped to reflect again while checking out the Battle of Cable Street memorial. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_Street_Mural

Our route was via the River Lea & Regents canal tow paths to enter Victoria Park to rejoin Regents canal TP to Lime House Basin. From here it was all the way along the well used CS3 super highway heading west (cycles only- nice1:)  We came back the way we came, making it a fine day out. 
 

Tower power!
