Thanks Paul, a most enjoyable ride and a rewarding 10 minute delay. My second flat appears to have been due to a faulty (new) tube so at least the thorn I removed first time was the right thorn.

I'm long overdue a Beacon ride, hope to join you tomorrow Paul.

Hello Leigh - welcome to the Beacon.

You can enter club TTs via https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/club-tim ... 0806536447

Not visited but they contacted the club.... We are a tearoom in the South Shropshire hills serving cakes, cream teas, coffee and light lunches. We would love you to have us on your list of tearoom stops for your cycling events. We are at a crossroads half-way between Clun and Craven Arms. Our number...

From Rebecca Lea I am carrying out some research at the University of Wolverhampton into the effects of crank length on cycling performance. I was woundering if there would be any cyclists interested in taking part. This would involve a vo2 max and some other tests performed at the university. I can...

Welcome back Neil!

Don't forget to renew subs before the season kicks off folks.

Please forgive my direct approach; I wanted to introduce Archies Attic to you as a potential stop-off or jump off point for the clubs rides. We are a coffee shop located in Enville on the A458 Stourbridge to Bridgnorth road. We are cyclist friendly (counting a keen cyclist amongst our business partn...

Dear Club Secretaries and Contacts, In my endeavours to keep the discipline of time trialling healthy in the Midland District I took on organisation of the only remaining open 50 mile time trial last year. This year I am promoting it on behalf of the Midland District Committee on the 15th of July. T...

Well done Si. I've amended the old site page so it's up to date when it's added to the new site.

Hello, it’s Heather from The Cafe at Clives Fruit Farm In Upton upon Severn at the foot of the Malvern Hills! I’m writing to remind you that we’re open all year round and to tell you that I have some super offers for tired cyclists in need of refreshment and replenishment We seem to be on many cycle...

I've fixed the problem that was preventing voting on this forum.

Bon voyage Neil!

John hasn't announced details for this year's page yet but from my archive of old pages.... A very important and popular option, our Roadman category will again feature this year. We will award prizes for the fastest riders completing the course using a standard road bike with only traditional-style...

Thanks Tim, that was from 2013, I've removed year specific stuff from that page.

Where is it listed as 16th April? Is something somewhere on our web site incorrect? I didn't think we'd publicised the closing date yet.

Good idea Si - thanks.

Patch used to do this but I can do it if the dates are confirmed?

Here's the spreadsheet...

I've got a 12-27 Shimano CS6600 if that's any good to you. It's used and a bit mucky but knowing me changed before absolutely necessary or when I decided 11-28 would be a far better idea. It has the lockring and spacers between the sprockets but not the thin spacer for the very inside. I'll be at Re...

Given the target audience tend to prefer to be out racing than posting about what they're doing I'm not sure offering yet another medium is the answer. Given FB maybe is possibly easier for most I was wondering whether it's events feature could be used, either associated with the Beacon FB group or ...

Go Dave!

Congratulations - third time, amazing.

Brilliant - well done Anne.

Jamie is no longer a Beacon member so can be excluded from the handicap points calculation.

Apart from canal towpaths and NCN off-road routes I've struggled to put any decent routes together. Public bridleways have varied from rideable off-road trails and beds of streams to muddy quagmires and heavy undergrowth in a fairly short distance. I've found a few decent sections but they're just s...

Link added above, I'm not familiar with that file type so let me know if anyone has a problem with it.

Bishampton have been in touch. They're doing this to raise funds for their church. The church doesn't have a service every Sunday and when it does they're at 09:30 so they'd probably be able to accommodate a club run. They could also look after mid-week rides. They need to know we're coming in advan...

How come I got DNF as I completed the hill climb? Regards Ryan :) Three cyclists without numbers went past me (halfway up the hill) between numbers 2 and 4. The 2nd & 3rd thought I was a madman when I clapped and cheered but the first (who had an open red jacket) didn't seem to so was probably Ryan...

Good effort George.

Amazing ride - hope to read an account of the experience some time.

Presumably Richard Bussell doesn't factor in the handicap points calculation anyway?

Congratulations Simon!

Parking in the no-through road right by the start/finish.

Had to wait about 30 minutes for a slot too I think, I was wondering why he bothered stopping at the start.

I'm sure you'll be fine John but I wouldn't bother taking the clubs this year if I were you.

Enjoy the ride - I look forward to following the blog.

Nice photos George.

A prize for the first person to snap Matt not smiling or looking as though he's putting in the slightest bit of effort

For first-timers, where's the usual place?

Link to CTT for K34/25C needs to be changed either way.

Is the spreadsheet available yet Chris / Simon?
