2020 Club Championship Races Announced

Happy New Year to everyone! Its time to start planning your campaign to win the 2020 Club Championship!

Your best 1 from 4 at each distance (short, medium and long) will count. For 2020 there is the added bonus of the Amsterdam marathon weekend races that are already very popular with club members. There are also bonuses for representing the club at the main Harrier League cross country and relays – both of which are free to club members. One big change is that for 2020 there will be separate mens and womens competitions with prizes to the top 3 in each. I am expecting some more fabulous racing by club members in 2020.

There were a larger than usual number of novices which did make for a particulary easy going event without the display of top-end time trial bikes on show. Continue reading
