Advice please - do we want make tomorrow's C Run a retro ride as per George's original intention or shall we leave that till the Autumn???

That's awful George

I'll be turning out on Sunday and will lead to Charlecote if necessary.

Yes it was Ade McHugh !

Dave Cox

Great run Andy, very enjoyable. Good to see Steve Smith at the Coach and Horses too

Dave Cox

Sorry Ash it doesn't look as though we have a volunteer leader for an Intro Ride tomorrow. I've led the last two but am committed to the 100 miles ride.

Dave Cox

Good call Andy thanks for confirming

That’s right and we can adjust speed and distance. They will be very welcome. Be great to see you Helen. Start at 9.15 meet at 9.00.

Dave Cox

Many thanks Huan that's great

Dave Cox

Intro Ride will be the usual <30 mile potter suitable for people wanting to do a first group ride or returning after a break. Be good to have a support rider please.

Dave Cox

I'll lead an Intro ride probably to Akamba

Dave Cox

Thanks for leading Matt great route and the Cafe was excellent!

Dave Cox

Hi Phil, I'm entered for the Clee to Heaven and should be able to help with the clear up as usual.

Derek Reynolds support

Dave Cox

Many thanks Phil and I hope you recover soon

Dave Cox

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.

Dave Cox

Thanks for the heads up Phil. Pity I use this regularly but last time went to Riverside because of some train and cameras festival.

Dave Cox

I'll lead an Intro Ride on 6th May probably to Avoncroft

Dave Cox

There is a consultation out until March 21st on City Centre Road Improvements. These are designed to smooth the flow of bus traffic in the City Centre which is generally a good thing. However the Birmingham City Council and the West Midlands Combined Authority have neglected their own commitments to...

Dave Cox

Good call thanks for letting us know

Dave Cox

Thanks Colin. I was at Aunty Ritas on Friday. They have had some problem with a large group of club cyclists (c20) who overwhelmed the cafe unannounced and then posted negative stuff on Trip Advisor. Given the size of a C group on a good day I wouldn't go there without giving them a phone call. Warw...

Dave Cox

So good to have Colin stepping up nice and early to the plate (of bake beans probably) Never really understood the baseball? metaphor!

Dave Cox

Thanks for leading Simon a classic Spring club run

Dave Cox

New member Judy Smart is coming on the C ride tomorrow - be good to have a leader volunteer and to see some other women riders out to keep her company.

Dave Cox

I'm really interested in doing the circuit of Birmingham ride at a C pace. Can't yet commit to lead because not yet sure about family visits.

Dave Cox

Keep it up Oscar !

Dave Cox

Sorry Dave my daughter is over from the States so I can't help this year

Dave Cox

Great day out on the bike yesterday. Many thanks to Phil and friends who did all the organising, stamped out cards etc. And to Matt Ball who helped me round while I navigated with the trusty cue sheets

Dave Cox

Weather permitting I'm doing this next Sunday [url]https://www.riderhq.com/events/75606/co ... ortive[url] I thought Coventry CTC would be coming but they've decided it's going to be too fast ! You can still enter if anyone fancies it.

Dave Cox

Happy as long as I get my points !! Good to be near the conveniences though it's a bike ride from the Tuckery. I also saw some other stealth black Beacon jerseys including Keith Adcock - secret no stop training ????

Dave Cox

All his own work beside the cafe he is no longer the lad with a hammer in his tool kit

Dave Cox

Thanks Simon, I managed to screw in the stop on the rear mech to a middling gear and then set off for Warwick using the triple as a 3 speed as in days of yore. Got to The Tuckery to find it full of the A group who'd been delayed by a **flat** and a wheel rebuild from Vince ! Which cafe did you choos...

Dave Cox

Hope you feel better soon Colin. We will I am sure manage to set up the C Run tomorrow

Dave Cox

Amazing well done Dave - we will want to see pictures !

Dave Cox

No takers for the Intro ride this morning so I joined Si's Lavender Adventure - thanks Si great route out
