Cotswold Audax- request for help
I would be grateful if any club members who are available and could help out with the Audax (in particular, car park attendants in the morning) would contact Pete Marshall, to offer their help. Thanks in anticipation.

Pete, I went the course about a year ago and found it really interesting. I had 'one to one' tuition (just me on the course) and it lasted the best part of a day. I've not built a wheel since, it was something I fancied doing just for the 'hell of it'. In doing the course it did teach me quite a bit...

Is there anyone going to the dinner, from the Harborne area, that would like to share a taxi? Si, assuming tickets are still available (I've just sent Gary Mac a text), will it save a few pennies if Helen gets one from bearwood, calling at harborne and Middle Park Road en route? Any idea what time ...

My first one too, great photos via the link, it really captures the moment, possible when some shouted 'dig deep', I though 6ft feels about right. It wasn't the length or gradient of the hill that was the problem more the width as I wobbled from side to side. Nevertheless, great fun, I'm now looking...

If it is corrupt then it might be posssible to fix it using First Object XML Editor.

There are literally hundreds of bikes to one car, however most of them stationary in the bike parks. I guess every one who is capable if riding a bike has one judging by the numbers parked outside the houses and flats.
