Damage to
the bridge between Water Yeat and Nibthwaite during the
floods in November has meant we have had to lengthen the
course to make the circuit of Coniston Water. The race
will continue beyond Water Yeat to Lowick, cross the
bridge and turn back towards Nibthwaite. This will make
the total distance 16.7 miles. There will be an extra
water station at Nibthwaite"
The Race
will be called the Coniston 14 Plus.

times will need to be suspended for this year

END OF SEASON
SOCIAL
DRINK, RUN, DRINK!
The
Idea:
The
Dunnerdale Fell Race & Duddon Valley provide the venue
for the 2009 end of season club social over the weekend
of Friday & Saturday, 13th & 14th
November. The idea is for two nights over-nighting in
the Duddon Valley with the short Dunnerdale Fell Race
sandwiched in between. The weekend should provide good
opportunities to have a bit of a laugh and some exercise
in a different part of town, squeezing in a few beers
and some good food in an awesome location!

Tour de
Staveley - Saturday 11th July 2009
I know there
are a few keen road cyclists amongst us at the moment so
I just wanted to let you know about Toby's Tour de
Staveley which is on Saturday 11th July. It is a non
competitive ride and there is a long course (45 miles)
and a short course (25 miles). It's a really good event
and your entry includes a post French meal at Wilfs plus
drinks. Tickets are £16 and you can get them in the shop
or online. I know a few of you came along last year
either to cycle or marshall. Would be lovely to see you
there. More details are on the website:
www.wheelbase.co.uk
Wilier and
Cannondale will be there with a selection of road bikes
to demo as well so if you fancy trying one you can book
one out for the ride but you'd have to get in quick! If
you don't fancy riding and would be free to marshall
please let me know.

Senior
fell race and the English Junior Uphill
Championships - Sunday, 28 June 2009
Registration
11am-12.30pm, Junior races 1pm - 1.45pm, Senior race
2pm
This is a super event from a very attractive country
show. The senior race is an excellent Grasmere style
blast up and down.
The race is not organised by a local club, and they
struggle to find people to help out. Adding the
Uphill Champs makes it even harder. As Ambleside is
one of the local clubs, I said I would try to get
her some help. I will be on registration, until it
is time for me to do my Junior Coordinator stuff!
I would be very grateful to anyone who can spare
some time to assist Christine Kenyon.
If you can, could you contact her at
patterda@globalnet.co.uk
Thanks in advance, and see some of you there.
