Hi Stuart

Thanks for doing this. Unfortunately, whilst I could do with a replacement pair of Beacon bibshorts, £75 is just too expensive for me to justify.

The intro rides are the first Sunday of the month; unfortunately that's bad timing as the next one is on 6th May. You could perhaps come to a C run and peel off if it's too hard going; besides we go at the pace of the slowest rider so if anyone struggles they don't get left behind.
