We were fortunate to have Brian Robinson speak at our centenary dinner in 2019, about racing the Tour alongside Harry Reynolds and our own Stan Brittain. He'll be sorely missed.

Terrible news, Darren Maironis, cycling friend to many passed away early this morning due to injuries suffered on J2/9 yesterday after a collision.
Our thoughts with his family at this difficult time.

All of us at the Phoenix are distraught to hear the news about Darren Maironis, our thoughts are with his family and everyone at @WRCCycling.

A Phoenix rider crashed at Rainford tonight. He's okay but in need of a new skinsuit. Doing 30mph downhill, a driver came past at 80 or more, causing a speed wobble.

Spring kit order arrives tomorrow. Give us a shout if you've ordered and want to arrange collection.

Shay Elliot died 50 years ago today: the first English-speaking cyclist to win stages in all three grand tours.

Not that they were called grand tours just then, mind!

@JoshOwenMorris Anyway, all club rides are suspended. So that's that for now then.

[Liverpool Phoenix @PhoenixCC1919]

There are a number of reasons including medical, practical and personal.

We will also need new volunteers for next season if the series is to continue as currently organised.

[Liverpool Phoenix @PhoenixCC1919]

Liverpool Phoenix will unfortunately not be able to run what would have been in any other year the remaining four Tuesday evening 10s at Bickerstaffe.

@Cyclocross2019 Not yet. They're being run jointly with Wigan, but it won't be the first week of July now after yesterday's update from CTT

[Liverpool Phoenix @PhoenixCC1919]

Club runs start back next weekend. We'll be split into a maximum of six riders in each group.
