Winter Weather Watch & Racing Round Up

Happy New Year!

The recent unprecedented rainfall hasn’t stopped hardy Harrogate Nova members from getting out and about on recent training rides.  Even the cold snap and dusting of snow on Sunday morning didn’t seem to have forced everyone onto their turbos.

Glen Turnbull battled through floods and sleet; Will Roberts could have done with snow tyres for his Cannondale; Craig Jarratt was up at a still and chilly Angram Reservoir just before sunset & Rob Senior came across a new water fountain feature near West End.

Racing Round Up

Nova’s Dave Moss-Blundell bagged the first British Cycling points of the year, claiming a fine third place at round one of the Velo 29 Winter Circuit Series on Saturday morning.  Now in its sixth year, the series attracts riders from across the North to the Croft Circuit near Dalton-on-Tees for some winter racing.  Dave, and 134 others, braved rain and puddles on the course.

Each event offer three races: 4th Cat only (11:00am), Women (11:01am) and E/1/2/3/4 at 12:45pm.  Round two takes place on Saturday 23 January.
