New bit of kit delivered today! I need to do a bit of reading and figure out getting it set up but we should soon be in a position to take card payments for both training and race events. Advance booking via BC will still be our preferred option, especially for races as it makes the admin considerably easier but card payments will be preferred to cash for on the night entries going forward. We will still accept cash, don't worry, but card is more convenient for us, and we imagine most of you will prefer it too!

We haven't seen much of Luke this year as he's been very focused on his GCSEs and triathalon but he's still very much part of the CCA family and we are absolutely thrilled to see him on the podium, taking Silver at the British Triathalon Championships today . Well done Luke on your well deserved success!

Our friends at Clydesdale Colts have an exciting event coming up in a few weeks. They are great supporters of CCA so it would be nice to see a few of our riders heading North to return the favour - and it sounds like lots of fun in a really interesting venue.

The final round of the Scottish Youth Circuit Series takes place at IGNITE held at the Scottish Fire and Rescue HQ on Saturday 5th September. There's also a senior race as well for the first time.

Don't be a Norman Price and get your entry in now: https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/events/details/333522/IGNITE-26-Scottish-Youth-Circuit-Series-Round-4

Bike choice is optional.

Thanks to everyone who attended our U10/U8 coaching session today. We had quite a range of ages and abilities but everyone did very well. We hope you had fun.
A few key learning points...
Road bike riders - practice riding in the drops and on the hoods and try to get out of the habit of leaving your hands on the tops. Your bike is more stable, you are in a more aerodynamic position and you have easier access to your brakes and gears. It takes a bit of practice to feel comfortable in the drops but stick at it!
Remember to pick a good line into corners. Start wide, aim for the apex and leave the bend wide.
And use those 👀 and 👂👂! Where your 👀 go, your 🚲 goes! Be aware of riders around you at all times. (We were impressed by considerate our older riders were to the youngest ones in the last exercise by the way - well done all!)
Thanks to all our helpers and riders. Hope to see you all again next season.
