Welcome to the new riders who joined us on what turned out to be a good long steady ride on the first non-windy day for ages.

Paul Rymer crossed the line 20th on Sunday’s Clifton CC Road Race, winning a prize for the first 4th cat to finish.
It’s an excellent achievement over 6 laps of the tough Newbald course, and with a strong field containing plenty of Cat 2 riders. Shack took the win, in what sounded like a hard-fought closing [...]

Young Paul has written up an account of his first outing in the Tockwith race series. Read on…

Rob, the three Pauls, Gary K and guest star ‘The Shack’ headed south for a border raid into Lincolnshire to ride the Limber round of the Lincs TLI league. The comedy started as soon as we pulled into the race HQ car park and were repeatedly ‘directed’ where to park by a chap in his [...]

Excellent stuff from VC Beverley in the first round of the East Yorkshire RR league on the Sproatley circuit last Thursday, with Pauls R and W 3rd and 6th respectively and Rob, Chris H and Droppy close behind.
