Re: CANCELLED !!! Sunday 18th December - Guided Ride to Earlswood Lakes 28miles at D Ride Pace 9.00am start
Tomorrow will be a difficult day for riding. Be mindful that if the rain starts falling on to sub zero roads the result will be very precarious conditions under-wheel. Of interest is that many of our club are meeting up at the Swan at Chaddesley Corbett at 12 for the annual bike fest. Usually pretty...

Hi Adrian, Anne and I have tried to keep this date clear but to no avail. I am in Newcastle-U-L for track riding (gate starts) and Anne has to stay at home due to builders cutting off water supply that day. (Don't ask)! Sadly I'm not seeing a rush of volunteers on here. We hope all goes well.
