FYI on 29 April Hillingdon Cycle Circuit Users Group [HCCUG] reconfirmed that all event bookings at the Circuit were suspended until further notice due to the Government's Covid-19 guidlines. This means that events shown on our calendar at the venue are cancelled until further notice.
We will continue to monitor the situation and guidance given by HCCUG and our governing body, Snowsport England.
Given the Government guidance on Covid-19 we are cancelling all Club acitivities [tasters, courses, children's sessions, races] at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit until further notice. This is in line with the latest update from Snowsport England. The committee will be monitoring and reviewing the situation and advise you of any future developments here.
Hillingdon Cycyle Circuit Users Group have confirmed the suspension of bookings for the circuit and clubhouse which means the facilities are closed for all group use. This takes effect immediately until April 30th when they will review the decision. Individuals may still use the circuit but should follow the Government's social distancing guidelines which include avoiding non-essential use of public transport, as emphasised on the Transport for London website.
We wish everyone who participates in our activities well - look after yourself, each other and stay safe, and we look forward to roller skiing and skiing with you again in the future.
You can now find details and book our roller ski tasters and children's roller ski course.
The 2020 calendar has been updated with provisional dates for LRNSC races, tuition, and training/practice. More details of these and other activities will be provided as and when they become available.
Preliminary information about our 2020 tuition sessions is now available.
A late addition to our calendar for LRNSC members is this twilight tour of Richmond Park with mince pies and gluhwein. You need to be able to roller ski at an easy pace for an hour with breaks over unfamiliar terrain so it's not suitable for beginners but you can cycle if you wish. See all the details of this tour.
