Due to the advertised Chorley Grand Prix cycling event being held on the local roads around Brinscall around the time we would normally train,
we've decided to cancel training and move it to Chorley instead 5-7pm. At least it gives you some time to get out and cheer on the lads as they cycle around Chorley.  Over 100 top cyclists from across the country will descend on Chorley at Easter as the borough kick starts the British elite road racing season.
Chorley Council has teamed up with British Cycling and Chorley Building Society to host the Chorley Grand Prix that will see professional riders take on circuits around the borough in the first race of the season. The prestigious event will bring thousands of visitors into Chorley and build on the borough’s enthusiasm for cycling. It will also showcase the beautiful borough to a European audience when the event is broadcast on Eurosport. The Chorley Grand Prix, will be held on Saturday 4 April and take in a 100-mile route. The start and finish line will be in Chorley town centre with the road race taking in Chorley, Rivington, Belmont, Abbey Village, Withnell, Brinscall, Wheelton, Buckshaw Village and back to Chorley. For more details and a map of the route visit the Chorley Grand Prix web page. The riders will complete five laps of the circuit but there will generally be rolling road closures in place, which will mean very minimal disruption to traffic. There will also be plenty of opportunities for spectators to see and cheer on the cyclists so mark the date in your diary now. Please be aware of the following changes to training times, effective from the 7th April on-wards. Mondays - JD to swim 8-9pm @ Chorley Instead of Thursday 7-8pm Tuesday - District session 4:30pm-5:30pm @ Brinscall Cancelled Tuesday - District Spinning Class 5:30-6:45pm @ Chorley Tuesday - District to swim 7-8pm @ Chorley Wednesday - JD to swim 7-9pm instead of 7-8pm @ Chorley Thursday - Improvers to swim 7-8pm Thursday - District 1 lane only swimming 7-8pm @ Chorley Friday - No training for any squad (rest days are important in all sports) There are a few reasons behind these decisions, one was to introduce more pool time for our younger swimmers in the Improvers squad and the other was to introduce a rest day for the swimmers in JD & District squads to recover. We know the changes may not suit everyone but please take into account the difficulty in balancing the needs of the club as a whole. This results in the following timetable: Improvers - 3 hours/week Tuesday: 7 - 8pm Thursday: 7 - 8pm Sunday: 6 - 7pm Junior District - 9 hours/week (inc Land Training) Monday: 8 - 9pm Wednesday: 7 - 9pm Saturday: 10 - 12am (@ Brinscall) Sunday: 8 - 10am (@ Brinscall) Sunday: 6 - 7pm (Land Training in the sports hall) Sunday: 7 - 8pm District - 12 hours/week (inc Land Training & Spinning)
