100km Challenge Ride - Sunday 24th July

After the success of our joint ride "50 miles in 5 hours" with Blackburn & District CTC, several of our members have asked if we can do something similar.

On Sunday 24th July we will be hosting a 100km Challenge Ride. There is no time limit on this ride, it is designed to offer a distance challenge to those wanting to add 100km to their list ot achievements.

Starting from Whalley Bus Station, the route takes in the familiar Ribchester and Longridge before heading off through Broughton to Great Eccleston then turning north towards Stakepool and Pilling before breaking for lunch in Knott End.

The return trip  heads north east along the cost before dropping back by Pilling, through Garstang and Inglewhite, returning through Longridge and finishing by the bridge over the Ribble in Ribchester.

Rebranding of CTC to Cycling UK - Update

A few weeks ago we reported about the proposed rebrand of CTC to Cycling UK.  As you will no doubt be aware, the rebrand has now gone through, but not without comment.

Former CTC Council member, Philip Benstead submitted a petition, signed by many of our members, asking that the re-brand was put to a full membership vote.

The latest issue of Cycling should have arrived through your letterbox in the past few days, and includes a voting form (on the back of the address insert) in which all members can now vote to either accept the re-brand, or ask for it to be reverted back to CTC.

We would like to ask our members to read this, along with the associated articles on pages 7 - 10, and vote on this important issue.

Just to confirm our committe's message from the initial announcement:

"Specifically for Burnley and Pendle CTC members, we will not be changing our name or identity. We will continue to be known as Burnley and Pendle CTC, and will retain our current club clothing designs."

Ride Leader Workshop

On 19th september 2015, the CTC launched a series of Ride Leader Workshops, to be held around the country over the following months.. We were lucky enough to secure a couple fo places on the first of these workshops, held in at the Palatine Sports Centre, in Blackpool

This was a chance for both new and experience ride leaders to discuss various topics that add up to a successful ride, and ride leader, and was attended by approximately 20 cyclists from the CTC and affiliated clubs.

Topics included

  • Examining what makes an enjoyable ride and a good Ride Leader
  • Understanding what information ride participants need ahead of the ride
  • Examining how to plan a good group ride
  • Introduction to CTC's current Policies and Procedures in relation to leading rides
  • Understanding how to lead a group ride
  • Providing an opportunity for knowledge-sharing and networking for existing and future Ride Leaders
  • Examining further training and development opportunities
  • Providing an opportunity to go on a group ride with other participants down the seafront to Lytham

Burnley and Pendle members, Jim Duerden and Mark Clegg are pictured above along with their certificates of attendance.
