Review of the season-
We ran 70 saturday sessions over 35 weeks, with only 3 cancelled.
There have been weekly road rides enjoyed by members and parents.
We visited Cyclopark in Kent on 3 occasions including our Club Circuit Championships. These sessions were greatly enjoyed, we hope the opportunity will be offered to our club next year.
