Club Colours at Meriden

New Leicestershire & Rutland Cyclist Touring Club New Jersey Design

Following the recent competition for a new design of jersey, the committee hs been considering the designs and options, but really needs some feedback from members as to whether or not people would buy them. The cost is estimated to be in the region of £40 each, possibly more.

The committee would be pleased to have your thoughts and comments, good, bad or indifferent, before they commit any further resources into this. Please either email jersey@ctclr.org.uk or talk to a committee member with your thoughts/comments.

These rides are dedicated to the memory of Phil Allen who worked tirelessly for years to help bring about the Cloud Trail. He could see the advantage of the trail as soon as the Derby to Ashby railway line was lifted, he never did like riding up Melbourne Hill!

It was a proud day for Phil when he was invited to officially open the trail along with Sustrans Officer Patrick Clarke and unveil the plaque denoting the co-operation of the two organisations, Sustrans and our Cyclists' Touring Club.

In the 1950's founder of Charnwood Cyclists' Touring Club Phil, organised Saturday afternoon rides as working parties to Staunton Harold, then a Leonard Cheshire home. The Cloud Trail and Staunton Harold Trails will feature on the routes.

Come and enjoy the "Vision" of John Allen ( a former President of Leicestershire and Rutland Cyclists' Touring Club) ably supported by Ian Hill, Jean and Keith Lakin together with the Allen family.

Autumn Cyclists
Phil is pictured, aged 20 outside Colchester Castle in August 1950 during a tour of East Anglia. Then he was riding with Loughborough CTC and was already on the county CTC committee. In the spring the following year he founded Charnwood CTC which is still going strong after 67 years. He was secretary for 25 years and was awarded the CTC National Certificate of Merit in 1976. Resurrected the Leics Cyclists Rally, and organised it for many years at Griffydam. He set up the “Rural Rides” programme to encourage newcomers to cycling in conjunction with N.W. Leics District Council. A long serving member of the CTC national “Right to ride” campaigning team covering N.W. Leics. The rest is history which can be obtained via the Charnwood CTC record books and Phil’s photo album, the latter of which are in the loving care of his brother John Allen and Family.
