Cycle race open to all abilities


A MAJOR-cycling ev en t has been organised in the Ribble Valley and any­ one can take part. •-


. : The cyclo-cross race, titled the Science


in Sport/Oakhill College Megacross, will be held at.Oakhill College, Whalley, on Sunday arid.will be open to :everypne, from" complete novices to world-class rid­ ers. :


- • Organiser .Mr Phil Bibby said that as


the circuit is short and will be repeated by the bikers, the race will be exciting for


riders and spectators. To add to the spec­ tacle, the riiain event, starting a t 2-15 p.rii., will start in the village centre. • . The day starts with a skills session for under-12s and under-16s, arid is followed by the Youth, Under-12s and Novice races, then the main event. The presenta­ tion of prizes will take place at 4 p.m. Cyclo-cross racing is described as a fast


and demanding form of cross-country cycle racing, where competitors ride at the speeds of road racers, while cornering and jumping as they do in BMX: '; Mud, steep banks arid hurdles force the


riders to dismount and run with their bikes slung over their shoulders. Firm ground and roads let them reach high speeds; over 30 mph for the elite racers. The Oakhill and .Clitheroe events are


designed for riders,of,all abilities and any kind of cycle can be.used. Schools, clubs and even streets can enter teams. Entry forms are available in the Adver­


tiser and Times office, 3 King Street Clitheroe, and entries can be made on the day. For further information visit the web­


site www.scienceinsport.com/events or telephorie Phil on 01254 246060,


•A 08B© Clitheroe Advertiser & Time's, October 24th, 2002 . 7 : New role for eye in the sky


THE work of the police eye-in- the sky.is to be extended in a new operation.


Lancashire Constabulary's Air. , ,


Support Unit is set to tackle crime on the county's industrial. estates in Operation Night Watchman. - •; The task will involve the force


helicopter providing assistance to officers on the ground by flying over industrial estates on patrol when en-route from operational incidents.


■ ;


appropriate and are expected to be as successful as the two previ­ ous-ai rborne crime-tackling schemes Operation Park-Keeper and Operation Caretaker, where helicopter assistance was provid­ ed to parks and schools. They, were considered to be of particu­ lar value in rural areas like the Ribble Valley.


The patrols will be made as : :A police spokesmarisaid that


, industrial estates are often sited on the outskirts of urban areas and back on to fields. As such there are rarely witnesses to any


, crimes and they are difficult to patrol, particularly those that are large and have easy escape routes on to the motorway net­ work.' He added th a t although the


numbers of crimes committed on industrial estates were low.com-


’ pared to other crime locations ■ the value of the property stolen was often very high. ■ Police hope that the sight of


the helicopter overhead, with its cameras and communications


equipment, will deter criminals. The operation will run until


v, .• ;


, the end of March, 2003, when its effectiveness wil be evaluated.
