Love to see a big win for a former protege of the great John Herety at JlT condor. Hitched a lift home with them after Tr of York’s in 2017 or 18, young Stevie had done a stonking ride & slept all the way from Scarborough to Crewe

The winter is behind us which means coaching sessions return this week! Starting this evening with the Time Trial. We’re looking forward to seeing lots of people down the track again!

We done to all the riders who dodged the showers to set their TT benchmark. A great way to kick off the new season. There are coaching sessions for all abilities during the week and with reduced membership fees there is no better time to join HACC.

Couple of nice results yesterday, Luke Harris backed up a solid Rás Mumhan with a 4th in the Two Counties in dire conditions that saw nearly half the field quit, while Charlie managed 10th in Stars of the SW in spite of being under the weather.

This is desperately sobering.
Reminder of the risks these guys run. Just hope they all heal rapidly both physically & mentally

So quite the Easter weekend for us, first time we've ever put teams in two stage races simultaneously, thanks to all parents who supported us, and to organisers at Rás Mumhan and Gorey3day for making us so welcome. Big race experience for 11 young guys. We'll be back!

Speedy recovery to Rowan Schaack who was in a big crash about 43 miles in, taken to hospital for stitches to hip and chin, no other damage reported. Heal quick Rowan!

A monster day in Ireland... At the Gorey3day Luke Mannings won the stage and Ryan Oldfield sealed 3rd overall. Two stage wins out of four and 2nd in the other two stages is pretty amazing. Mapei UK Ltd Secret Training Pro Vision Clothing Broad Bean Swinnerton Cycles
