Today's 'burst' ended with a bit of a bang! We were descending Rose Hill (+ 40mph) when a driver decided to pull out of the rose and crown hotel straight into the path of Ian Taylor, Ian ended up mounting the kerb and down a grass bank just missing a lamp post, luckily Ian doesn't seem too bad and h...

The weather isn't looking too bad for tomorrow morning so the burst will be around 40ish miles returning before 12 o clock, like I said above whoever turns up will determine the pace.

neilo

I can help out Ade, don't leave me in charge of a stopwatch though!

neilo

I'll lead another 'burst' this week as its fathers day (weather permitting) depending on who turns up will determine whether it'll be A or B pace, or even a combined A/B.

I'll lead an A run on the 23rd June, destination tbc.

Another glorious day for riding a bicycle! That was until James Bendle came down pretty hard on a corner just coming out of Kenilworth, luckily a very nice couple had stopped and took James to hospital, pretty bad facial injuries and I've since learnt he has no recollection of how he got there. Ride...

I'll lead a B run to Kenilworth this week.

10 of us on the A run today which looked like it was going to be a soggy one at first, it rained for about the first half hour then a yellow thing appeared in the sky! Just 1 flat which was when we'd stopped at the cafe and Neil Lynch had a small problem with his mudguard (cable ties to the rescue) ...

I'll lead an A run 'burst' depending on the weather, a few main roads to start but should still be quiet, 40ish miles and back before 12.
I'll make a final decision by 8.15 so watch this space!

I'll lead an A run on the 10th February to Warwick.

A well disciplined group of 7 enjoyed the spring sun (and wind) on the A run today, a smooth ride with no incidents apart from a tractor who's driver caught site of Andy Wrightsons ears in his rear view mirror and lost control momentarily through total amazement! <@> A runners in alphabetical order ...

neilo

Hope to see you then George.

neilo

It was going to be coffee and more George as the owner said he'd open up for us a couple of weeks ago, turns out he's in Lanzarote now so it'll have to be coffee #1 or the pub opposite does breakfast.
