Ok Steve thanks again. Just caught up with this topic. I want to go to Wedges and will check routes etc tomorrow. Avoncroft will be up to its eyes in Xmas treats I fancy!

Dave Cox

Hi, assuming that the weather continues to be warm and only light rain I intend to lead a run to Wedges and adjust the route depending on who turns up. Be grateful for some back up from an experienced rider as well.

Please post here if you fancy coming along.

Dave Cox

Well done Simon on your first time as Captain!

Dave Cox

Thanks Simon see you tomorrow

I will be at the Black Horse tomorrow for the C run. Happy to lead but if will choose destination on the morning depending on conditions.

Hi, A friend of mine who is also the Honorary Legal Advisor to CTC Council lives locally and is beginning a campaign to improve routes to Schools in the Bournville Area. A bit late for me as my children are 40 and 43 but I certainly support this of the next generation. If you live in the area whethe...

Dave Cox

Another ***flat from that lane when I went to get the bike out yesterday! At least it stayed up to get me home. I've switched to winter touring bike.

Dave Cox

Sorry I can't join you Pete I have to be at a CTC AGM in Shropshire

Dave Cox

We went to the Village Shop in Bishampton this morning they've opened a cafe with a Cyclists Pit Stop theme. Open Sundays also. Ideal for winter rides would struggle if A B and C arrived together.

Dave Cox

Many thanks Steve

Dave Cox

On the 13th December there is a short Cyclists Carol Service in Meriden compete with mince pies courtesy of John Bennett. Not my usual scene but I want to discuss the May Meriden Cyclists Memorial Service with the Vicar. Happy to lead a C run over there. I'll get the timings closer to the event. We ...

Dave Cox

Hi I've not done an Intro Ride for a while but will do the 6th December probably to Avoncroft Museum - I'll need to check that they still allow you in to the cafe and haven't been taken over by Father Xmas. Also subject to weather conditions. Be good to have some support.

Dave Cox

Its Amelia Rouse - she had to take the train for last few miles acc to Strava

Dave Cox

Well done again Richard. A Beacon rider on Paddy Power odds must be a first?

Dave Cox

Hi I've also been given clearance to ride tomorrow. Lavender Hall is one of our steadiest rides. Be great to see Helen again and be good to meet Mark. It's a good route and easy to retrace.

Dave Cox

C run to Bewdley Dave Cox Leading Amelia Rouse Dennis Snape Kim Shapiro Mark Russell John Deeley Colin Hall Sweeping Andy Wrightson Generally a pleasant pootle through the season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Good to welcome two new riders Amelia and Mark both fit and competent having no problem...

Dave Cox

Yes I think I rode the Offa's Dyke Classic a couple of times from a village hall in Chaddesley Corbett certainly Alan organised it. I'll check my Brevet Cards. Bridgenorth, Craven Arms, Knighton, Tenbury, Martley featured but I may be confusing two different routes.

Dave Cox

Emergency C Run to Warwick Iconoclassic MTB Show sun and nostalgia. Everything from 1980s newspaper delivery MTBs to exotic and colourful race machines.

Dave Cox

Would you like us to bring a salad or a sweet?

Dave Cox

Great Val and Derek Reynolds would like to come as well

Dave Cox

I was pleased to do it in good weather and get the full route. Box Hill is magnificent with great views. But I was in the massive traffic jam on Leith Hill lost an hour or so and we then had to walk it under police supervision. A rider ahead had a heart attack alas. Air Ambulance came but he couldn'...

Dave Cox

Yes I met Bennie recently at the start of a Bournville Gentle Cycling trip he looked in good form and his usual cheerful self. Very sad to see him afflicted like this

Dave Cox

Many thanks for leading Andy one of your most intriguing routes and a great day out on the bike once the rain had eased!

Dave Cox

Great ride Steve thanks for organising it and to you and occasionally Andy for leading. Coach and Horses well worth the extra climb up Weatheroak! My abiding memory is of the riders drying wet socks on hot tarmac and leaving foot prints while Paul fixed his flat!

Dave Cox

Hi Phil I'll come back and help with the final shift.

Dave Cox

Hi Bob - please add me and Sue looking forward to it. Thanks

Dave Cox

Pity about Ride London Helen but I was looking at the forms today and there is a process to transfer to 2016 if you unable to start this year. Good job that you are young!

Dave Cox

Hi Helen, really sorry to hear about the crash and the injuries (John had photos on Sunday - ouch) best wishes for a speedy recovery we will miss you on the 100 miler Dave

Dave Cox

Tim I'm coming back from a meeting in Manchester and will be walking past Rowheath. But I can't guarantee being in time to do the signing on.
