The club organises events
out of the island and those members are considering for 2008 are shown here - as always when I write this page, we're a
bit short of information. 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 10, 25
and 50 mile time trials are being planned which are likely to be preceded
by similar practice events in the UK.
