Easter Meets - 113th this year

The biggest MUST-DO in the Clarion is the annual Easter Meet. It's a packed weekend of relaxation and riding. You choose how much of each you do.

This year's meet - was a snowy Stamford

Despite very poor weather one of the rides went ahead the 11.2mile hilly Time Trial won by Fenland Clarion's Lynden Leadbeater, by 1 second (1.5 pedal revs) from Dave Langlands also from Fenland, in equal 3rd Paul Asplin helped Fenland win the team prize.

The Sportive was cancelled due to snow and will be rescheduled to May.

We had some great fun in the local bars, restaurants and had some fantastic entertainment in the evening at the Lady Anne's Hotel.
