In order to run the TT events on the 1st and 8th August, we require a volunteer to Marshal each event. Unfortunately, if no one comes forward by 18:00 hrs on the Wednesday before the event on the Thursday, then I will have to cancel.  I cannot wait until the Thursday as I need to give notice to relevant people involved with the event.

Fingers crossed, I do not need to cancel!

Saturday 14 mph, Intro ride volunteer leaders required

We have just completed the latest rotation of 14 mph intro rides

We are looking to see if there are riders not currently volunteering who would like to give something back to help fellow cyclist

Are there any riders who have benefited from this volunteer lead 14mph ride who will put there hands up and join the rota

Women members are there any of you that would volunteer to lead these Saturday rides

The more volunteers we have the fewer times you end up leading this volunteer lead ride

Thanks in advance to those who put there hand up and volunteer

We trialled having an XC ride on every first Saturday of the month. Although these have been well attended, it has proved too difficult to find enough leaders to have these rides as a regular offering so I have removed that from the website. Any ride leader can choose to plan an XC ride on any date.

The intro rides are promoted as being on the third Saturday every month. Plan A is a 15ish mile ride that is less demanding technically and physically. Of course, if no riders turn up wanting that, and the group agrees, Plan B can be whatever the leader fancies. Although I have begun to promote the club MTB rides a bit more, we don’t get enough new riders to justify the second meeting point on every ride. I have modified the MTB page on the website to ask those that would like to meet us at the top of the first climb to let me know in advance.
