Club Hill Climb Championships, 29 Sep 2024
Our annual club hill climb competition will run again on the Brockham Hill course which starts in Holybourne.
Event start time is 10:00.
We are operating this event as a CTT ‘club event’ and entry will be free for club members who enter using this form. Other clubs’ members are invited to the event and can enter online via the CTT website (entry fee £5). Entries close at 17:00 on 26th September. By way of reminder, all entrants must wear a helmet and have a working front and rear bike light.
In addition to the Men’s and Women’s hill climb cups, we will also have honourable mention age categories and a category for e-bikes.
All club members are encouraged to enter the competition, help with marshalling the event or support the competitors from the side of the road.
Club Kit order window
Our next club kit order window will open on Sunday 1st September for 2 weeks. The range covers all the club items you might need for autumn and winter riding. Delivery timescales should be slightly shorter than our last order (approximately 6 weeks) as Bioracer is less busy in September.
Our full club kit range can be seen here, (you will need to register for an account if you do not already have one).
Beer and Skittles evening, 12 Sep 2024
Our next club night will be a beer and skittles evening on Thursday 12th September at the French Horn, starting from 7pm with first ball at 7.30pm. Come along and try your skill!
July annual rides
We have 2 of our annual special ride events coming up that we’d like to highlight (in case you’ve missed the WhatsApp messages – easily done!):
Jim Woods Memorial Audax (Sunday 7th July, 9am start)
Starting at Beech Village Hall and riding out to Leckford on a picturesque circular route. This ride is being organised by John Heath in memory of our good friend and club mate Jim Woods who tragically died in 2020 of a brain tumour. Any surplus money from this event will be donated to Brainstrust, the charity that provides help and resources to people with brain tumours.
Club 100 miler (Sunday 15th July, now Sunday 18th August, 8am start)
Early start from the Butts, and heading West with planned stops at Stockbridge and Wendy’s Community café in Great Bedwyn.
We’re looking forward to these summer social rides! Hope to see you there. More details, including routes, on our
Halosports final kit sale
Update: new reduced prices and extended sale date.
Halosports have informed the club that they have reverted to their original kit manufacturer, Velo+. Consequently, they are now having a clearance sale of the Alton CC kit manufactured by Texmarket, see items in the sale below. The sale will run from Friday 10 May to Sunday 23 June. All orders should be made direct to halosports@hotmail.co.uk and will have a £3.50 postage fee.
Given this decision, Alton CC will move to a single kit supplier, Bioracer, from the end of June.
