George

Hello, Chris. I plan to stop by at the café to say hello. I reckon you'll be there by about 10:45, so that's the time I'll aim for unless you tell me otherwise.

George

Sorry you missed your top ten, Kyle, but I'm sure the points will come. Good luck and thanks for the report.

George

Glad to hear it went well. Many thanks for organising, Mick.

George

Excellent! Well done, both.

George

Congratulations, all!

George

Sorry; over-hurried editing. You have both done this before, so I'm assuming you don't really need much support from me. If you do need anything, please shout. Laurence will publicise everything, but you can obviously do your own plugging as well. I've been a bit preoccupied the last couple of month...

George

Thanks for volunteering, both!

George

Thanks for organising/leading, Kamran and Si. Good to see a few people I haven't seen in a while, not least Vincenti the Invincible, who had us all worried for a few weeks but is hopefully on the path to full recovery now. One of several reasons I had for popping up at the café today was to make the...

George who said cycling was supposed to be enjoyable!!

Me!

George

I hope you have a great two days on this epic, Paul. Unfortunately, the rides look a bit beyond the limits of what I personally would find enjoyable, and they also clash with things such as the track championships. However, I'm mulling over ways of linking up with you briefly on one or both rides or...

George

All being well, I'll join you at the café, Kamran. I guess you'll get there about 11? (Last time I visited, it took a lifetime to get served there!)

George

Brilliant effort. Well done all!

George

I night be interested in doing this, Mick. However, a lot depends on the details of where and when I would be expected to lead rides. Also, I wouldn't want to take a place on the course away from someone younger, with more opportunity to make use of the qualification. So, if there is a lot of intere...

Hi George

I can lead the June 5th Intro ride

Mick

Thanks, Mick. I've DMed you.

Anyone available to support?

George · Re: Mallory Park 10 mile TT 23-05-22 Well done, Ed!

Well done, Ed!

George

The name Nancy Lamb doesn't ring a bell with me. However, Jack and Jean Clements' daughter Avril became Avril Lamb when she married. Probably just coincidence, but possibly there's a link of some kind. Alan Nicholls, Tony Webb, Mavis Williams or someone like that might know.

George

Good to catch up with a few old friends and makes one or two new ones. Thanks for organising, Matt, and for letting me tag along for a few minutes.

George

What was the cafe like? It looks rather splendid on the internet. Very pleasant, Phil. Nice setting, easy bike parking, friendly staff and reasonably quick service. Food not quite up there with the very best cafés in my view, and the portions were not overly generous, but I would certainly rate thi...

George

Might see you at the café, Matt, but have a social engagement the night before, so will have to see.

George

A wet start to Sunday failed to dampen the spirits of five intrepid club run groups. The A group rode a few swells on the way to Brewood and back in four-and-a-half hours. The ride was sadly marred by leader Nick taking a dive. Whether the incident was facilitated by any newly qualified first-aiders...

George

Mariana, there's a problem with the first link.

George

Good to see you out there, Dave!

George

Dave, apologies if this is stating the obvious to an experienced old hand... but have you double-checked that none of the settings are resulting in extreme battery drain? For example, if the backlight is permanently on, that can drain the battery very quickly, and on a sunny day I don't think that I...

Hello
I can assist the May intro
Thanks

Thanks, Mariana.

George

David, it's several years since I last made a detailed comparison. So possibly my experiences are no longer valid... but here goes anyway. I've looked into separate insurance v. home insurance a number of times in the past, and always came to the conclusion that putting your bikes on your home polic...

George

Great, thanks.

George

Kyle, when we turn up, is there some sort of HQ area or similar that we report to? Also, is the start time you've given for the shift the time we need to be there, or the time that everything gets going (implying that we need to be there, say, 15 minutes before that)?

George

Hopefully, everyone already knows that the Beacon's Little Mountain Time Trial is coming up on Sunday 24 April. If you're one of the many who have already entered or volunteered to help, many thanks. See you on the 24th! If not, please take a couple of minutes to read this message. http://brcc.haywo...

George

Many thanks, Dave, for organising what sounds like a successful ride.

George

How unpleasant. Glad no one was hurt. Is it worth reporting to the police? They almost certainly won't follow up, but if a pattern emerges...

George

Congratulations to everyone involved, but especially George Lazenby on a successful first TT promotion. A big turnout and the smoothly run event, by the look of it.

George

Good to see everybody, but vaguely embarrassed to see from Strava that apparently you dropped the pace by about 2kph to enable me to keep up for ten minutes. Thanks for your courtesy!

George

Dave, I'll join you at the café if I'm not excessively hung over from a social engagement the night before.

George

Would have loved to join you, Si, but I've arranged to ride with Roger that day. I cancelled my last ride with him because of the gales, so I don't want to let him down again.

George

Good to meet John and see a few others I haven't ridden with for a few months. Thanks for coming along, everybody.

Hi George, I would like to join tommorow. What time is the start, please.

Great, look forward to seeing you. We'll meet at about 09:00-09:05, so that we can have a quick chat before starting about 09:15.

George

Those of you who were at the 75th anniversary dinner last November may recall a display of historical menu covers. Mick Kedian has been designing the cover of the menu for the annual dinner since the 1970s. Each year, he produces a hand-drawn image reflecting a topical aspect of club life. Together,...

George

Anyone looking out of the window and thinking they don't much fancy it?

Forecast for Sunday is dry all day, a light NE breeze and a positively balmy 7 degrees!

Could i join this! I was on the September intro ride but have been out with an injury so would be good to get back into it

Marc

Yes, of course, Marc. It'll be great to have you along.

George

Kyle, In principle I'm happy to do whatever job you'd like me to do. I have a general preference for the afternoon, but I'm willing to do the morning if needs be.

George

Hi George,
I can lead the ride in May.
Cheers
Richard Chaplin

Great, thanks!

George

Thanks, Matt. Sorry to hear about the injury. Hope it was nothing too serious. After a quiet January, when I was able to get a few things done, I've been pretty busy on the work front throughout Feb, so I'm hopelessly late getting info out about this ride, which might affect attendance, but hopefull...

George

This coming Sunday, 6 March, Matt and I will be leading an introductory ride of 48km/30mi with a café stop at Rowberry's Garden Centre, Chaddesley Corbett. We'll go at the pace of the slowest rider, which is typically 16-20kph/10-12mph. It'll be a fun, sociable ride through some pretty Worcestershir...

George

Count me in, Phil. Suddenly seems like a topic one might want to know a little about.

George

Huge thanks to Phil and all the team.

George

I'm definitely around to help, Chris, but I'm not sure whether John wants me to do photos or timekeeping or something like that.

George

Next week, Roger Shayes will be 90. I'm organising a big card for him, onto which I plan to paste messages of congratulations from club members. If you'd like to have a message included, please post it below. Deadline is this coming Sunday, 27 February. Say whatever you like (within reason!), but pr...

A friend of mine is involved in a project to convert the disused Worcester-Bromyard-Leominster railway line to a greenway for shared use by cyclists, pedestrians and others.
