Disappointing turn out again yesterday afternoon at Newport, just myself and Simon Woodward. So on that basis l shall no longer continue with them as their is clearly no interest

AlanW

This Sundays track sessions are both fully booked with riders from other clubs now, so unless you have pre booked via the PDQ Coaching website please DO NOT just turn up and expect to ride.

To be fair you might just strike lucky, on the other hand you might not and its a long way to go to chance it

AlanW

You need to book on the session via the PDQ Coaching website - www.pdqcyclecoaching.co.uk Then simply create an account which will then give you access to the calender. Select the correct date and time of the event and also which category (group) you want to ride in based on your track experience. B...

Plus not forgetting of course a track session at Newport starting at 3pm till 6pm, everyone welcome. Fancy giving the track a go, well now is your chance....c'mon down

AlanW

Sunday 1st December 3pm to 6pm, but it seems pretty pointless trying to promote it to be honest

AlanW

Rather dissappointingly but not one single person from Beacon on last night's track session

Good day,

I'm going to try and make this one (10th Nov), can I invite someone?

Hi Stu

Sorry for the delay, for some unknown reason I was locked out of the message board?

But yes, the more the merrier to be honest

AlanW

We have 9 booked on the intermediate and 8 on the beginners/novice sessions, but still need a few more really.

AlanW

As far as l know if you can ride a bike, then you are in. But let me ask the question. What ages are we talking Tim?

AlanW

Just bumping this back up to the top in case people have forgotten about it?

Yes, I've entered.

I thought you were doing the club 500 Simon?

AlanW

Next Saturday 6th July, anyone entered?

AlanW

I used one for a while when commuting, great at keeping you dry until:
a) its a headwind
b) you need to do a hand signal

Needless to say it went on ebay shortly after the initial purchase!

Over 30 riders on the four club runs last week, and despite the best efforts of Alan Weaver to get zwift rides and local audaxes registered as club runs, Parliament has again rejected his proposals. A list of interventions will be discussed this week, but it is still the club run deal that is the o...

Winter Track Sessions @ Newport So......a question to those that have already expressed an interest, but also to those that might be interested but not on a Saturday night. So, would a Sunday afternoon be better, 3pm to 6pm. As it stands, booking a Saturday is possible but could prove problematic an...

Did you have to point out holes and signal left Al?

AlanW

Do I get a club run point for leading a group around the velodrome on Saturday....

AlanW

Agreed, the distance is a ball ache. But the more that we can encourage to go then the more we can car share

AlanW

Well done to everyone at last night's track event at Newport, certainly a good night's work out with varied exercises.

Pity that we cannot get more people interested?

AlanW

Plus, a track session at Newport Saturday 6pm to 9pm and I'm still looking for people for the beginner/novice session.
Time to try something new and different maybe?

AlanW

Personally l would prefer a couple of rear pockets, but happy to go with the flow

AlanW

Just to throw another item in the mix, gillets?

AlanW

Still looking for numbers, all levels catered for even complete newbies, c'mon and join the fun

For this week's light hearted club run chat, Alan Weaver will introduce a discussion on the great Norwegian playwright and poet, best known for his middle class tragedies such as The Wild Duck, Hedda Gabler, A Doll's House and An Enemy of the People.

Will I........

AlanW

Hi Graham, only two left but will drop you a PM shortly if that's ok?

AlanW

Brand new and unused Mavic Yksion Pro Powerlink tyres 700 x 23mm

I have four of them up for grabs at just £10 each.

AlanW

If you are heading Redditch way, please be warned it's -4 and a proper hard frost!

AlanW

All ready entered, terrific route ever year, not to be missed!

Track bikes are available to hire, but you will need to have Look Keo cleats fitted to your shoes. You are NOT allowed to change the pedals on the track bikes. If you don't have Look Keo cleats, you can ride in trainers as the hire bikes have toe straps. You will also need your helmet and gloves, ne...

Yep, l had it confirmed last night. New thread created and also put on the FB page

AlanW

6pm to 9pm Novice/first timers and intermediate sessions.

Booking via the PDQ Coaching website and please make sure that you book on the appropriate session.

AlanW

We also had a discussion on the A-run as to how far away we were from accepting indoor rides as a club run. It was fair to say, that's it's still an awful long way away. I know I said you can organise anything as a club run, but the vote of 0-8 to include turbo and zwift rides in this suggests club...

And I quote...

Beacon Z ride - Watophia Alan Weaver (L) To be eligible for club run points, you have to arrive at the cafe. Which virtual cafe stop did you use? If it was Croome Park, they do a line in virtual Bacon rolls. The one on the sea front in Watophia, on the right hand side, can I have my points now?

I am booked on the intermediate session 17:00 Sunday 27th January. Anyone else interested and want to share travel costs get in touch. I would like to join you, but at some point towards the end of the month I have to return my son and all his Uni stuff back to Cardiff. So if the dates don't clash ...

AlanW

Yes you can.

But can l suggest that if anyone does book on one of Jasons sessions then maybe post it on here and FB as lm sure that others may want to join in?

Is there a plan to choose another one of their sessions and book again on mass?

Yes, Saturday 16th March 6pm to 9pm, but this has to be confirmed in due course

AlanW

Thanks to all those that attended the track session at Newport last night.

A huge congratulations and well done to all the first timers, hopefully you enjoyed your first experience on the track?

And a big thank you once again to Jason for a quality session.

AlanW

Hi Alan, any chance I could tag on to the event? If there’s a spare space? Charles w Hi Charles, lm pretty sure that all the spaces are taken. But to double check and stake your claim as a reserve in the event that people drop out, go to the PDQ Coaching website make an account. It's just your name...

How's this going Alan? Enough signed up?

Yes Pete, the intermediate session is full with reserves, and the begineers session has just a couple of spaces left l believe.

But I have had to open the session to others in order to get the numbers so confirm the slot.

On today’s blustery A Run to Alcester were: Nick Shenton (Leading) Andy (Audax) Wrightson Ben Crone Neil Lynch Vince Tenant Phil Elwell Matt Reagan Spencer Tapia Nothing out of the ordinary on today’s ride. Phil had a flat on the way out and the mythical tail wind was short lived on the return home...

AlanW

Need people to sign up for this ASAP please, otherwise we risk losing the slot
