45RC visit to Derby Velodrome - 30th Oct 2016
On the 30th October 2016 the 45 RoadClub plus some friends met at the Derby Velodrome to experience riding the boards courtesy of Rob Weall who arranged it. 32 members and friends met at the drome, where we were split into 2 groups of 16 and had 3 x 30min sessions with a 30 min recovery break between each session, learning the do's and don'ts of fixed wheel no brakes track riding. Despite all the grimaces in the photos everyone had a great time and we plan to do another session in the future, so keep an eye out for it. Be prepared to have burning quads the day after!A big thanks to Rob for organising the experience and to David for coming up and taking all the pictures in the gallery.

Results for the final round of the club 2016 TT trophy Series Points Championship.This marks the last round of an extremely challenging TT points series, mainly due to weather and roadworks causing an extraordinary number of canceled rounds during this year. It's been very close championship between the 1st and 2nd places pretty much all year, only 3 riders doing the 11, or more, counting rounds. Well done to all the participating club and guest riders, your support is appreciated. Congratulations as well to all the support people, including a life member and stalwart of the club who we just lost to the TT club in the sky, who without all your help and support these events could not take place.
