As 2010 begins and with those post-Christmas and New Year’s cobwebs crying out to be blown away, anyone finding themselves within striking distance of Lancashire this weekend could do worse than enter themselves in the New Year’s Revolution Cyclocross event at Todmorden’s Centre Vale Park this Sunday.
The event is being ridden under British Cycling regulations and is supported by Calderdale Council, and organisers promise that the route, which takes in the park’s fields and woods, “will be fun and rideable by any half-keen cyclist, yet challenging enough for experienced riders,” which should also make for some decent spectating for those who don't fancy the idea of getting in the saddle themselves.
Entrants can sign on at the race desk on the day of the event, near the skate park on the opposite side of Centre Vale Park from the Leisure Centre, where there will be changing facilities, including showers.
To take part, all you need is an (off-)roadworthy bike, plus the appropriate entry fee - £4 for Youths, whose race starts at 11am, £1 or under-12s, who get under way at Noon, and £10 for Vets/Women and Seniors/Juniors, with those races begin at 1pm and 2pm, respectively.
Further information is available from organiser Chipps Chippendale, either via email or by phoning 07977 570271.
Yes, right after "it lost control."
If you are being generous, they should lose their license as they didn't realise what they were doing. ...

I know people that vilify Millar for doping but were happy to cheer on that wheelsucking doper Valverde. Go figure.
Well done that man (also - nice trike)!...

intervals.icu is a good free alternative to TP
Absolutely fine - they're Shimano ICE tech rotors & pads which helps. It's fairly hilly where I live (Dorset) and I'm 87kg so they get tested...
That top picture of the team really does hammer home the skills and trust involved in riding a TT bike on a banked circuit at 40+mph, centimetres...
In essence, that's the difference. I have been lunged at by numerous Collies and consider them the most dangerous breed I come across on the paths,...
