Now that the latest (and hopefully the last) lockdown restrictions are easing, group cycling is once again permitted. For the time being, our rides will be held in accordance with the CyclingUK guidelines. We have one member who has volunteered to act as our Covid19 officer though we will need more, if someone would like to step forward and help in running our club.
The rides will meet at Whalley bus station on Sundays, at 9am. The rides will be impromptu, with no destination pre-planned. Instead the route will be decided on the day, by those present. Each rider should be self sufficient with food as at the moment, there's no guarantee of getting refreshments. Thankfully there are quite a few local cafes who are serving takeaway brews and food. No doubt more will open up as the weather improves. The rides will be chosen so that all attending are capable of completing.
Along with group riding, the two time trials Blackburn & Dist CTC organise are to take place this Spring.
The first race is the two up on L101 which will be held on May 13th at 19:00. Due to coronavirus restrictions, there will not be a HQ for the event nor will there be pushers off.
The other race is the SPOCO held on L111 This is to be held on June 23rd, also at 19:00. If the current restrictions have been lifted, as they are due to be, we should have a HQ at Bashall Eaves village hall.
To be able to compete in the above time trials, members are required to join our racing section. This is an annual fee of £5. Please contact our racing secretary via racingsecretary@blackburnanddistrictctc.org.uk
