Allterrain MBC looking good

Earlier this week, some of the comittee members of AllterrainMBC including myself, engaged in a meeting with Tom Howarth who is the Club, Coach & Volunteer Development Officer for Warrington council.
We discussed how to push AllterrainMBC to be a bigger and better club in many different aspects including funding, resources, youth/junior schemes, qualifications and generally being all above board in the H&S and CRB areas.
It certainly sounds promising for ATMBC and Tom is already hard at work looking at ways to improve and aid the club, so thanks there to Tom.
A follow up meeting in a few weeks will hopefuly start to put some of the discussed topics into a p.o.a, and hopefully set the ball rolling!

The future is bright for Allterrain MBC....

With the arrival of 2010, and a popular growing club, Allterrain MBC is now a firmly established mountain bike club.

With Wayne at the helm, the club was launched in March 2009, and as there wasnt a Warrington specific club out there Wayne had the idea to bring Mountain biking to the people.
I joined shortly afterwards and the club has continued to grow steadily ever since. Allterrain MBC now has around 20 riders from the Warrington area and is open to all ages and abilities, male or female. The club is already affiliated to MJ Cycles in Latchford, Warrington, http://www.mjcycles.com/  which offers great discouts to club members.

Allterrain MBC have a twice weekly ride on a Tuesday & Thursday, on a local off-road circuit which is around 16 miles in length, this year we have also planned to ride a trail center or other off-road mountain bike trail on the 2nd weekend of each month. The location and difficulty of the planned outings will differ from month to month enableing something to be had for everyone.
With the club increasing by the month, Allterrain MBC decided at a recent meeting to fully establish itself by introducing a committee, club accounts, club jerseys and looking at ways of funding to enable the club to continue growing into the future.





If anyone is interested in the club, get in contact with Wayne via Allterrain MBC's website which is above.

Tuesday Training

Tuesdays and Thursdays i get out on the bike and get 18 miles in the legs each night, on a good local circuit. The loop we ride is mainly off road with a couple of good climbs, a small section of downhill single track and some boardwalks across the ship canal!! I ride with Wayne and All Terrain Routes http://www.allterrainroutes.co.uk/, who are a good bunch of guys, and who all train hard.

Hopefuly all this training will make things a touch easier for me on my forthcoming climbing trip to Chamonix!!
