It's the Windlass. Go straight on instead of crossing the canal and you'll find it beside the canal basin

Most people going for discs but some are better than others apparently. I've not got my head around them so have stuck to callipers

Dave Cox

Hi Faye - it's great that you are thinking of returning to cycling.You will be very welcome. Many of us come back to cycling and to the Beacon after long breaks. Yes you'll need a bike though and probably worth getting used to it a bit before you try a group ride. I'm sure Red Kite can advise you if...

Dave Cox

Thanks Ash that's great

Dave Cox

I'll lead an Intro Ride to Earlswood about 25 miles or so

Dave Cox

Thanks Dave an excellent run and interesting route around lanes I'd forgotten and handy survey of the new housing estates around Droitwich !

Dave Cox

Dave Cox

Thanks for leading Si and nice to ride up your (100 year old) Grandad's favourite climb.

Dave Cox

Dave Cox

You've done a marvellous job Dave and helped the club achieve so much. Be very sorry to see you stand down but can understand reasoning.

Dave Cox

Blimey Dave that's brilliant

Dave Cox

So did I

Dave Cox

It fits well as a medium George thanks. I'll post the cheque.

Dave Cox

It would be good to have a leader for the Intro this Sunday. I'll be away so can't lead. We do have at least one rider, Hamaad Raja has posted on Facebook that he would like to do one more Intro.

Dave Cox

Wonderful achievement Anne well done

Dave Cox

23rd would be good because I'm out with Roger on the 25th. Dave

Dave Cox

If it's a medium it should fit me George. Would £25 be acceptable?

Re Meriden run on 20th May. I've checked what we did last year and we need to LEAVE at 8.30 to be sure of arriving in time. More details later.

Dave Cox

Weather looks good for Sunday's Intro Ride about 30 miles - anyone wanting to try a Beacon Club run will be most welcome, also good way back if you've been resting through the bad weather. It provides an option of a shorter ride and easier pace than the C run leaving you less tired for afternoon com...

Dave Cox

Well today we were riding with a Champion - well done Dave !

Dave Cox

Well done Phil for following this up and getting an appropriate reply from the Company. Glad it wasn't worse but this sort of driving will put off many new cyclists.

Dave Cox

May 20th is the 97th Meriden Cyclists Memorial Service on the green. I'll lead a C Run at moderate pace leaving at 9.00 to give us plenty of time. There's cakes in the Village Hall afterwards or the option of just riding to Lavender Hall which is on the route.
