Sorry about the short delay in getting this one out, your editor was enjoying a short break in the cooler temperatures of East Anglia! This week is slightly shorter than normal, but has some important news, especially if you enjoy barbecues!
This week:
Club Social and Barbecue
This Saturday, 25th, sees the club social and Barbecue, at the Exeter Squash Club for an afternoon of food, drinks, chat, and sun. The club will provide some food, but if you have any special dietary requirements or don’t want to risk missing out please bring your own.
To kick the day off there will be three ride options, all finishing at the Squash Club (where showers and toilets will be available).
A 50k social ride going down the estuary path from Exeter to Dawlish and back.
A 100k hilly social ride over Dartmoor, going out via Moretonhampstead to Princetown for a cafe stop, and then back via Dartmeet, Widdecombe in the Moor, and Bovey Tracey.
A 100k club ride on the EWCC classic ‘Blackcat’ route, a steady, flat-ish route with a mid-ride effort up the Blackcat climb.
The hilly social ride departs at 8am from County Hall, the other 2 rides depart at 9am from the Squash Club. All rides aiming to return between 1pm and 2pm.
GPX files for all routes are available on the club website. Sign up on Spond.
Cream First Race Series
After a great event last Thursday, with super results for EWCC members (see EWCC Westpoint Circuit Race 1 – report – Exeter Wheelers CC for a detailed report and results), this week sees the second EWCC hosted event.
Although we previously said you could register on the day without providing details in advance, as we’re using timing chips it would really help speed up registration if you could send Gideon the following before Thursday:
- Date of Birth
- BC Membership Number
- Which race you’re entering: 3/4, E123, or both
Thanks for your help on this — it really does make the sign-on process much smoother!
Cyclo Cross Training
These CX training sessions are being provided for women and youth riders to get you ready for the new season. Registration is open now, and we suspect they will be popular so if your interested get signed up soon.
