Re: Sunday 27 August 53 miles to Harvington

I've not been out on a club ride in over 3 years & missed it more than I thought I had. Todays ride was brilliant. I met up with a couple of people that I've not seen for ages, plenty of chat & a great coffee stop. My thanks go out to birthday girl Mariana who led the whole thing brilliantly. I can'...

Re: Beacon Legends.

I'm so sorry, I've obviously got the wrong couple. The gent I spoke to now lives in Devon & had a bike parts business up here until he retired. I'm really sorry if I've caused anyone any distress & could now kick myself for not jotting down their names, but it was definitely June Pitchford making up...

Beacon Legends.

Stopped for a cuppa at Crowle cafe yesterday, when a gent recognised my Beacon jersey. It turned out I was talking to June Pitchford & I think the gent was Rod Goodfellow & his wife Chris, (please forgive me if I got that wrong, my memory for names is crap these days). They talked fondly of their ti...

Re: Club Runs - 12th January

Heart felt apologies to Pete & the other C riders for getting lost following a comfort stop, making everyone late. Unfortunately, I got home in plenty of time to watch my team get mauled 6-1 by Man. City! I think I'll take an early night before my day gets any worse. Mark.

Carbon Frames

Hi all, took the bike back to where I bought it, the guy there told me the lacquer had cracked & where I'd washed it, some of the muck had lodged into the cracked lacquer, making it look like a crack. He cleaned the offending area with white spirit & the "crack" disappeared. He also told me that you...

Todays C run

Great C run to leaminton. There were 17 of us so we split into 2 groups, meeting up at the cafe. A couple of minor mechanicals and a constantly slipping seat post, but other than that, it was non eventful. We also had a total of 6 women on the C run today, which was fantastic!

CW Article.

I got my copy at Bham airport, off on a weeks well deserved break. Imagine my surprise when I leafed through the pages & saw some familiar faces looking back at me! Weird!! Great for the profile of the club though.

Membership subs.

Can anyone tell me when & how I pay my 2017 subs. I'm a bit off the pace at the moment as I've missed the last 6 months because of illness, but I will be back on the C runs in the new year, fighting fit. (God willing)!
