CCC Other Events

The club organises events out of the island and those we expect to be taking part in during 2006 are shown here - that said, we're a bit short of information at the moment. Both road and MTB riders ride in these events which generally take place as a 'weekend away'.

There are also a number of more ad-hoc trips to France, usually weekend or day trips and tend to be organised at short(ish) notice to make sure the weather forecast is good. Details normally appear on the home page.

If you're interested in any of the following, talk to either Torty Hubert (499440) , John Gage (864275) or click HERE. Mick Stevenson (CCC member based in Brittany) can provide detailed local information - and accomodation. His number is +33 2.98.93.88.60

Trips for the National 25 and 50 mile time trials are being planned which are likely to be preceded by similar practice events in the UK.
