ECCA 2016

see below for programme of events from ECCA for this coming year which you may spot includes TTs of most kinds, road races, track events and even a map reading contest for anyone who failed their Group 1 practical

hopefully of interest to anyone planning their seasons (whether drafting on the roads or real racing), and hopefully we'll have details of both the inter-club and NDCA competitions before too long too. If anyone feels a pre-season Tester's get-together (like the roadie session tomorrow) would be useful just let us know, or happy to answer any questions on here or by e-mail if preferred





PS - based on there being 14 SNCC entries in ECCA events last year we're being asked to provide 3 marshals for duty throughout the season. If you entered a (or several) ECCA event(s) last year can you let us know which if any of this season's events you'd be able to help at. Even if you didn't race last year, but are willing to help with any of the events can you let us know as a condition of our affiliation is that we provide marshals.......

seeing as the first ECCA event of the year is a prize giving for last year, I suppose it would also be handy to know who won what (and how).........









[EDIT - if any of the info isn't too clear just shout and I can send by e-mail]

That short Audax out Stanstead way could be interesting....

Careful,you'll be getting a brooks and a carradice next

Would be a good outing for the Day One Tony.

Heh, already got the Carradices (Carradi?) mate and if I ever get round to sort out the back wheel on the Day One, it may be used for that. Just need some SPD sandals.

it's an Audax not a KoM hunt
