It's very encouraging to see how popular cycling has become in recent years, and those involved in Lancaster Cycling Club have played their part in that, by - amongst other things - week in, week out through the cycling season, organising time trials at Salt Ayre which are accessible and appealing to everyone. The number of people riding at Salt Ayre, and the range in age, ability & experience out on the track is an impressive achievement, and something of which we all can be proud.
But of course, this doesn't come for free! Every week we need a team of helpers to make it happen. A rough rule of thumb is that if you have raced two or more times in 2014 or 2015, it's time to take a turn.
So please, if you race - or have children who race - go to http://vols.pt/WAVqPg to volunteer, or contact Tim at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
Thanks!
***One more person needed for this Thursday evening, 26th March***
A dry & relatively still evening brought 52 riders to Salt Ayre for the 3rd evening of time trialling this season. It was lovely to see new faces, with a fair few people having their first crack at time trialling. We hope you all enjoyed yourselves, and come back for more!
Last night we started where we usually finish & finished where we usually start, which added a novel twist for those more familiar with Salt Ayre time triallling.
Of the 6 riders at 2 miles Isaac Atkinson was fastest boy in 6:20, and Emilia Woods fastest girl in 7:31.
Bobby Horton was fastest of 12 riders over 6 miles in 16:52, with his Mum - Sue Holden - fastest female at 18:38; fastest girl was Sasha Oldham in 19:31.
Younger riders filled the podium at 10 miles - of 34 riders Junior rider Sam Monkhouse went fastest for the third week on the trot in 22:57, closely followed by Cog Set Youth riders George Wharton in 23:05 and Alex Chesters in 23:19. Ian Sibbert was fastest of the 'older' contingent, in 23:49. Fastest woman was Alison Oldham in 27:51. Jim Lawley riding a trike finished in 37:01.
Many thanks as always to all those who helped out on the night - sterling efforts all round.

James McCracken was fastest over 2 miles in exactly 6 minutes. Nancye Roberts was fastest girl in 7:56.
The fastest rider at 6 miles was Tilly Percy, in 19:31. Fastest boy was John Roberts in 21:38.
For the second week Sam Monkhouse was the fastest rider over 10 miles, almost a minute slower than last week but still over 4 minutes faster than the second placed rider (Leo Lerner) in 23:33. Fastest woman was Sarah Shuttleworth in 32:03.
Well done to all those who rode, and all those who helped on the night. And let's hope for better weather for this week's event (fingers' crossed, the forecast is looking OK). Please click below for full results.
Last night, Thursday 5th March, saw the first of this year's Salt Ayre time trials. The new flood-lights around the track mean it's now possible to race in the dark, extending the racing season. Aided by a hardy group of volunteers, 47 riders braved a cold but dry evening to race at 2, 6 and 10 miles. To see the full results, please click 'Read more' below.
