This summer Tom Alker has set himself the challenge of riding 100 miles as a fundraising event in memory of his sister Emily. Emily's Forever Fund is emily-alker.muchloved.com which gives details of what happened to Emily; Tom's fundraiser is in the 'Fundraising in memory of Emily' section.

Thanks Mike for the training session on use of the website. 

Really useful info

Here are the results of the Time Trial today:

NWCC September Race Series

This was a series of 4 events at UCLan Sports Arena. There were Go-Ride races for younger and novice riders and British Cycling ranking races for older riders who race regularly. There was a short race and a long race for each rider at each event. Tuesday was the final event and Red Rose Olympic had riders on the podium in all the Go-Ride race categories:

Salt Ayre Cog Set hosted round 6 of the North West Youth League. It was a great day with good course and great catering!

The rain held off but the course was wet and slippery from the showers the day before which made the corners and off-cambers challenging.

All the Red Rose riders performed well but Katie did particularly well coming first in the under 8 girls category - well done Katie.

Saturday saw the opening race of the 2017 NWCCA league at Hoghton Tower, and it did not disappoint with 400 riders across all the age categories taking part. The course was challenging made all the trickier by the occasional downpour.

We couldn't make use of the lawns in front of the house this year due to the conditions, but the alternative courses worked well and we appreciated everyone's efforts to keep off.
