Great conditions for our final open promotion of the season. Now run on the Cliffe Circuit this event has been run without a break for many years now and has had many illustrious winners. Today's event was a really close run affair with Team Swift pair Dave Bramley and Stewart Gormley setting the standard for the rest to beat. Teams came and went and it...Read More »

WINTER JACKET. I have decided to get a winter jacket in club colours added to the PACTIMO CLUB STORE. This is a high quality product and will certainly deal with all but the most horrendous days when even a cyclist wouldn't be out! Full price will be just under £160 but you are getting quality! You can research the jacket by googling PACTIMO OURAY JACKET....Read More »
Some riders travelled south for their events over the weekend. James Quigley, Luke Quigley and Simon Mills, as Yorkshire District team champions travelled to the Stratford based National GHS final on Saturday. Conditions were far from ideal but the lads aquited themselves very well. Luke and Simon set new personal records while James was only just short of his. The following day, using an...Read More »

First high spot was Anna Turvey setting new ladies figures with 19.08!!!!!! As the...Read More »

A long trip to the E2/25 on Saturday for JOHN BREARLEY was rewarded with a fine 51m 45s ride to finally beat JASON YOUNGS long standing figures for senior men. Conditions were far from ideal on this soooooper fast course so respect for ending his season with this performance. Club members entering the VTTA event on the V718 were welcomed by "float"(floating) conditions with the...Read More »
