Balls out

CCCP is a group of like minded underachieving cyclists - enthusiastic to the extreme but limited in natural talent. Stereotypical MAMILS (Middle aged men in Lycra) this happy band of weekend warriors plan the summers "projects" with meticulous precision over a pint in the pub usually on a Friday evening.

One of this years escapades has been decided upon which has all the hallmarks of a "Right Laugh" - and I'm not just talking about the outfits. The outfit cannot be purchased, it has to be "Earned" and we are planning to do so by taking part in a gruelling East to west journey from Southend on Sea to Galway West Ireland. - 12th - 18 August 2013 

This is tough, BALLS OUT tough, mentally and physically. 580 miles in 6 days.  This is the ultimate way to earn the Near Naked Man Status, we're signing up and pledging to raise at least £600 for the male cancer charity. Its an all male affair from the CCCP but ladies can join in . We'll be cycling through England, Wales and Republic of Ireland on possibly our toughest great cycling adventure to date . If anyone wants to join up contact info@malecancer.org Limited places available.

"Pound for pound the best cycling challenge around whilst wearing the most eye catching cycling suits" Near Naked Man, Glenn.

Its got a serious side to it, and to quote the charity's website www.malecancer.org/nnm
"Near Naked Man is the champion for MCAC’s campaign to combat the embarrassment that prevents men from discussing their bodily functions and getting tested for prostate cancer.
We want to reach a mass audience of men and those who care about them - whatever their age, culture, religion or sexuality. If we can get the message across to younger men then perhaps they’ll remember it when they’re older and recognise the early warning signs in their older friends and relatives."

Check out their promotional video, its thought provoking.

CCCP are currently looking for like minded lunatics to join the club. Of varying abilities and ages, we plan our events around charities, but stress that to be a member of the CCCP (Cannock Crap Cycling Party) the primary objective is to have a laugh and enjoy what we do, from a 20 mile sprint out on a Sunday morning to 100 mile day trip. No ego's allowed except for the odd "Yellow Jerky" ie anyone who insists on belting off on the rivet leaving the rest of the group in their wake. This is allowed as long as we all meet up at some point to take the piss and heckle the member(s) involved. If you think you have what it takes to become a CCCPer then just like us for honary membership at http://www.facebook.com/pages/CCCP-Cannock-Crap-Cycling-Party/209038349140401?ref=ts&fref=ts
