A London cycling club for all

As we wave 2020 goodbye 👋 Let's remember some

As we wave 2020 goodbye 👋
Let's remember some of the key moments for our club this year.
.
2020 started on a high note with our annual winter training trip to Calpe, Spain.
.
Back in the UK, we managed to successfully run our annual 2up Time Trial in Brickendon. This was in March, a few days later, the first lockdown was introduced.
.
Lockdown meant all club activities had to be suspended. We figured out alternatives, technology allowed us to run virtual races, virtual club rides, and virtual pub quizzes.
.
In late June, the lockdown rules changed. Club rides and training sessions were allowed in groups of 6.
.
During lockdown, there was a surge in cycling. As a result, we welcomed not only new riders who had just taken up cycling, we were also pleased to welcome back former members.
.
We also introduced a regular Women's Ride, which combined with the constant encouragement from Coach Watto on his skills sessions for women at Regent's Park, contributed to increase our female membership to 41%.
.
Apart from our weekend rides and Regent's Park sessions, our club president, Coach Watto, came up with the initiative of running weekly club 10-mile time trials, and one of our famous 200-miles challenges, with a London-Clacton-London ride.
.
It was a challenging year for everyone but also a year that made us put a perspective on things, and made us appreciate what we have, especially the importance of being part of a supportive community.
.
There was an overwhelming enthusiasm, that kept the club alive. We're very proud of our members.
.
Thank you to our wonderful group of ride leaders, who were there, week in, week out, helping things happen.
.
Also a big thanks to the members of the committee, and friends who are always ready to lend a helping hand.
.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year! 🎉🥂

The early bird catches the...early ride!
.
Our first club ride after #lockdown2
had the presence of a special guest. He said he had started cycling recently and wanted to join us on a spin around the lanes.
.
Here we can see him sharing the leading duties and taking his turn at the front. Keeping a nice pace and no half wheeling

We are very proud to share the news that our very own Ian Watson aka @coachwatto has been nominated for the 2020 Cycling Weekly Awards in the
Local Hero category.
.
This nomination comes as a recognition for the selfless work he has been doing, week in, week out, running the skills sessions for women at Regent's Park.
.
His sessions have become so popular, with a growing number of female cyclists turning up, that he started offering them on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
.
On these sessions he welcomes women of different cycling abilities and regardless of their club affiliation. This is all out of his own initiative and interest for promoting equality and sharing his passion for cycling.
.
He has started an interesting movement around his sessions, encouraging women into the sport and helping many to improve their confidence and racing skills.
.
If you would like to vote for Ian, please find a link in the bio.

Someone forgot to tell @sophieytol and @vivotomlin that it was meant to be a pain face, not a smile 🤪.
.
We couldn't be prouder of our members and friends who took part in the 2020 National Hill Climb Championship.
.
For some of our riders, this was their first race after having just started cycling a few months ago. They're an inspiring example of determination and discipline. Seen every week at the Women's skills sessions run by our very own @coachwatto at Regent's Park, as well as our chat laps and club rides at the weekends.
.
A very competitive field of 479 riders across all genders and categories, 109 women, which is a considerable increase compared to previous years and shows the growing interest and encouragement.
.
Challenging times to run an event of this type. @reading_cc and @didcotphoenixcc did an excellent work putting together this race, neatly organised even with chip timing, live stream and live commentary.
.
This event took place at Streatley Hill in West Berkshire.
Distance: 0.8km
Average gradient: 13.0%
Maxiumum gradient: 25.9%
.
Congrats to @bithjajones, @andrew.feather84, @tomw289 and @abijesmith champions at the 2020 Hill Climb Championship.

I set myself the goal of moving up racing category in 2020. COVID put pay to that, so the aim was simplified to merely getting at least one race in. Success!!

Great afternoon in the 3/4’s at the Parentini West Thames Series at Hillingdon.

Proudly flying my @cycleclublondon colours and ended up in the Top 10. Good day at the office!

They seemed to be having far too much fun considering they were spending #ADayinHell.

No, they were not being punished for their sins. This CCL crew joined @rapha_uk in paying homage to Paris-Roubaix, the race that never was.
.
This event followed the route of Rapha's Hell of the North, which goes through a delightful succession of gravel trails, bridleways, forest paths. Mud was guaranteed!
.
Not precisely the idea of hell for many, only feels like it when it comes to cleaning the bike!

Uta and Maddie (who was representing @leavalleycc in this occasion) made it to the top 10. This is an outstanding achievement for Uta who just started cycling at the beginning of the lockdown.
