Re: Club runs - 30th July
That's great Gemma, I hope to join you if my back ache clears up. Gardening or anything involving ladders is definitely not good for you. My bike can find its own way to Flyford so we won't get lost.

Re: Reporting potholes
Don't forget to use the Fill That Hole app or weblink if you are outside Birmingham. It automatically locates the relevant authority.

Re: A, B and C & Intro Club runs July, August and September 2017
Great idea George. I'm doing the Eroica Britannia next Sunday. I could probably do a ride on either 20th or 27th but former is more likely to be free from holiday negotiations because I know I am going to Edgbaston on the day before.

Re: Club Runs - 4th June
We really do need a June Intro Ride this Sunday - this is what brings new members and generates the B and A riders of the future. If no one else steps up I'll lead one and be there at 9.00 to meet any new riders who want to find out about the Beacon - probably go to Earlswood.
