To stay within public health rules (and insured for BC members) riders can now go in groups of up to six but must maintain a 2m distance while cycling at all times (front to back and side to side) Club runners will need to organise into smaller groups if more than six riders turn up. When meeting at a cafe with outdoor seating, please occupy different tables to keep the distance required. It's within the guidelines to ride with different members (bubbles not necessary) Please bear in mind that on the road you are representing all cyclists and CC Hackney. The public do take note of behaviours and some could use incidents of breaking regulations as a reason to complain about all cyclists. We don't want this and I'd rather not receive a direct complaint to CC Hackney management. I'm sure you understand this concern, we're getting there, stay safe and enjoy the next level! Here are links to the latest regulations and a pdf "The way forward' https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/about/article/20200618-about-bc-news-British-Cycling-announces-reintroduction-of-club-and-group-activity-0 https://www.britishcycling.org.uk/zuvvi/media/The_Way_Forward_18-06-20_FINAL.pdf Also here's our membership page if you're yet to sign up for 2020/21 https://www.cyclingclubhackney.co.uk/membership.html Very best wishes, Keir Apperley - CCH Manager Opening hours Fawcett Estate Garage 8 (E5 9DG) Sunday 10am-12 noon Thursday 6-8pm Elsdale Hall (E9 6PW) Saturday 10am-12noon Tuesday 6-8pm Who we are CC Hackney - encouraging and developing riders from the whole community in the area. December 2019 Merger - Interlinkx CiC has rebranded by transitioning into 'Cycling Club Hackney CIO' (CIO standing for Charitable Incorporated Organisation). Meanwhile the existing club, which was an unincorporated association, has donated its name and assets to the new charity, therefore merging Cycling Club Hackney and Interlinkx CIC into a single entity with charity status to further enable our capacity to deliver positive projects for all in Hackney. Registered Charity Number 1186757 2019 Supported by the William Wates Memorial Trust Cycling Club Hackney is proud to announce our latest funding supporter; the William Wates Memorial Trust. This is coming into effect from September 2019 with a three year agreement for the club to extend and continue developing its community outreach aspects. Fittingly the key fund raising activity for the Trust is an event called Le loop (or the Wates fund raisers Tour de France!) The Wates Group is a family owned construction company founded in 1897 that established the WWMT fund in 1998. We are excited by the prospect of being in a better position to be more able to realise our shared aims of reaching the whole community; cycling and quality sporting opportunities for all in Hackney and East London. 2018 Hackney Sports Club of the Year, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2015, 2010 & 2009 London Youth Games Cycling Champions, 2011 Tour de l'Ain Cyclo team prize winners, 2011 National Masters Road Race Champions (cat.

We have an active youth section catering for young people between the ages 8 and 18, as well as our senior and women's representation. Our popular circuit race series the CC Hackney Primaveras runs every spring at Lea Valley Velopark, and we also organise and run men's and women's road races. CC Hackney is run by volunteers. There is an expectation for all members to do their bit from time to time but especially being on point when the club has a calendar event to deliver. Join us here. Our custom kit orders are made periodically throughout the year, notices for which are given in good time via our websites. Currently CCH has a limited amount of surplus stock with good supplies of shirts and a reasonable number of shorts available.
