Local Knowledge: Rides around Leicester in Cycling Plus Magazine

I was asked to contribute to the Local Knowledge section of Cycling Plus. It was all a bit last minute, so I included the club audax for the long route and had a great couple of rides exploring new roads for the shorter versions. The artwork was contributed by Phil Dobson www.magicpen.co.uk although I'm not sure about the inclusion of a tower block in Corby - Rockingham Castle would have looked nicer!

Leicester Forest CC Cyclocross Championships - Success!

This year saw a good turn out from the club for our cyclocross championships during the West Midlands Cross League meeting at Beaumont Leys.

Great course, perhaps the most enjoyable of the season for me. I put in one of my best performances, only coming off once when pedal failed to disengage. All the practice and hard work paid off and I won the Veteran's trophy.

Club president Ian Nutt was there to photograph the event, here is his excellent flickr set: https://www.flickr.com/photos/103581114@N07/sets/72157637779453653/
