All
The next race in the x-country champs is this Saturday at Wilson's Playing Fields Hyndburn
This is a Mid Lancs race so please wear the number you wore at previous Mid Lancs races at Kendal, Burnley and/or Blackpool. If you didn't race at Kendal, Burnley or Blackpool then I will provide you with a number on the day
Start times - ladies 2:00 pm & men 2:30 pm
For those of you wanting to travel in convoy please be at Atherton train station ready to leave at 12:30 sharp
This is one of only 2 races left in the Club Champs & they are both in the Mid Lancs League. So lets have a 'big turnout' for the remaining races as we have got a great chance of securing back-to-back promotions in the Mid Lancs series (our ladies are currently leading Division 3 & our men are 3rd in Division 3 plus our male vets are leading Vets Division 3)
Travel directions
"Leave M65 at junction 7 & turn north to the t-junction & turn right on to the A678 for a short distance. Turn left at traffic lights, drive about a mile north on the A680 looking for a wooded area on your right.Turn right at the end of the wood into Wilson's Playing Field"

Welsh Castle Relays - by Garry Baines
At the AGM, I mentioned the possibility of the club taking part in the Welsh Castles relay on 12th and 13th June.
Details of the event appeared on the January blog but you can also visit the official website on:
http://astleyrunners.blogspot.com/2010/01/welsh-castle-relays-by-garry-baines.html
http://www.lescroupiersrunningclub.org.uk/castles/
Up till now I have received confirmation that 13 members are interested in taking part. We need a minimum of 20 runners and ideally a couple of substitutes to be on the safe side. The closing date for entry is 5th March.
If anyone else would like to join in this event could you please e-mail, facebook or call me as soon as possible. If we don't get the full compliment from A&T, we would be allowed to accept registered runners from other clubs, provided they don't have a team already entered. We may ultimately have to do this to make the numbers up, but I would prefer it if was an all A&T line-up.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers
Garry

Subs now due
Hi All
We have now had the AGM and set subs at £20 for 2010. They are now due this month and you can pay any member of the committee.
We’ve been able to reduce subs this year due to growing membership, success of our races and great support from the Miners Welfare.
For £20 you get England Athletics membership, Miners Welfare membership, 6 training days per week (if you want!), detailed training schedules (including custom marathon schedules), numerous free social events, be part of a successful club (current Grand Prix champions), club competitions and prizes, free cross country races, duathlons, club trips and most of all friendly faces to run with.
It’s a bargain!!

Bike Ride - Sunday 14th February
We are organising another bike ride this coming Sunday meeting at Atherton Training Station at 8.45am for a 9am prompt start.
This ride will be much flatter than last Sunday's Belmont ride.
This will be a group ride but if anyone wants to plod on quicker just double back to main group every now and again as we want to cater for all abilities.
The ride is 32 miles in total but you have the option of pulling out earlier as we pass Atherton Train Station at the 25 mile mark.
See route below

Belmont Bike Ride Report
Today was the first of the training bike rides for the 100 mile Challenge, in typical Stevens fashion i decided on one of the toughest roads in the North West Belmont Road, the road used as part of the Commonwealth Games, Bolton Ironman and Horwich Triathlon.
There were 6 hardy victims (Gary S, Craig B, Sean Spillane, Peter Clegg, Craig Little and Brenda) at the train station and Steve Coleman? We all know that Steve is the master of the spinning bikes but he had never been seen out on a road bike. Once Mary Anne turned up at 8.55am we realised that it was a coincidence and they were both off for a ½ marathon.
Brenda looked a bit deflated, well her tyres did and we made our way to Bob’s for the use of his pump. It wasn’t looking promising as all his curtains were still closed, Craig realised he had been out watching Asis the night before so it was off to my house for the track pump.
We finally started the route at 9.15am and travelled towards Bolton, everyone was complaining about cold hands and cold feet apart from Brenda who had borrowed Sir Ranulph Fiennes North Pole feet warmers!
After 30 minutes of a steady pace we hit the start of the Belmont Road which started off with a 1 mile Millers Lane type climb and was pretty relentless for the other 9 miles of the road. We hit the half way point at the M65 road-about and all gathered for a quick drink before setting off on the way back home.
The first hill of the 2nd part of the course was a real nasty little bugger, i was moving just behind Sean and was feeling it by now as the countless hills had started to take their toll on my legs which hadn't felt so many hills since last year's Roddlesworth Roller!
As we came down the final hill and hit the lights at Asda knowing the hard stuff was behind us there was a bit of a disaster as Craig B was seen walking on the pavement PUNCHURE. It was a good job we had a couple of spare inner-tubes and Sean’s bike mechanical experience of else i think Craig would have had a long walk home.
The ride lasted around 2.5 hours and a good time was had by all, Craig B was already planning another ride for next Sunday.
Keep posted to the blog for more details.
