Yet another packed week of events, Joe is beginning to crack Palace and with the help Oliver and Jake, Cross too- chapeau to the lot of you and I’m sorry to have missed tonight’s race.
Brief outline of August’s timetable.
Rides this weekend , 9th August
Junior riders (strong riders aged 15 plus)
Dave will be leading a ride out on Saturday to parts of Kent you have probably visited before. Meet at the Velodrome by 9 am and the ride will be back at Crystal Palace by 1pm. As this is a road ride normal rule apply:
Parents/guardians/rescuers – please ensure you are contactable and available to collect your charge should the need arise.
Youth Riders
We are teaming up with Herne Hill Youth CC and running an off road time trial followed by a team race.
Meet at the velodrome at 10.45 (far side at the picnic tables- just ask) Ownership of MTB not essential as you can borrow one from HHYCC. Races finish by 1o’clock ish.
Dates for August:
Every Tuesday- Crystal Palace Crits – If you haven’t pre-entered turn up at 6 (youth have entry on the line) www.crystalpalacecrits.wix.com/home
Every Wednesday Road at Velopark Stratford www.h-p-cc.info
Thursday 14th Cross at Herne Hill- last in the Summer series www.summerseries.co.uk
Saturday 16th Dulwich Paragon College Hill Climb.
This is looking like a seriously fun event- open to all riders from both HHYCC and DP. Fantastic prizes (complete set of kit for 1st DP youth/junior rider, and I am sure HHYCC will match the prize should an HHYCC rider win), barbeques and heavens knows what else. If you are around- go this will be fun, after all it is being arranged by the same team that brought the Tour, Ride London and God know what else to London.

24TH August TORK in your sleep 12-12 Enduro
Looks like we will be entering 2 teams for this awesome event of sheer stupidity and fun. Teams so far are: Dulwich Older: Charlie and Dave, Dulwich Younger: Stan, Joe and Oliver. Details to be confirmed- if you have a burning desire to enter, let me know pronto as entries close tomorrow.
CAYV/Racemakers Course
This is a great programme for 14-18 year olds, rewarding them for volunteering in their club with a nationally recognised award. More information here: www.britishcycling.org.uk/youngvolunteers
Jason Catamole is running a course on 18th August in Southwark for riders from all disciplines and Go-Ride clubs. It’s a pretty interactive course with some practical learning, so it’s not just a day cooped up in the classroom. After, we have an hour booked on Burgess Park BMX track to get some fresh air! The course is run free of charge to Go-Ride club members.
Contact him direct jasoncattermole@britishcycling.org.uk to book a place.
Youth Saturday Rides
We will not be running youth (12 to 14 yrs old) rides in August. The regular weekly rides will restart on September 6th.
That’s about it
Look forward to seeing you all on Saturday
