Re: Club runs - May 6th
Will, There's a Club Runs Route Database in the Club Runs section, though there's not necessarily a standard route to the cafe. The route I took us to Wyre Forest was new though the route back was fairly standard. I did say it wasn't flat! Many people do as I did and post their planned route on the ...

Re: Club runs - May 6th
A wonderful day for a gentle ride through the rolling Worcestershire hills. Si Walker pointed out Long Mynd to me at one stage. I think he was trying to suggest we head out over there next time. I hope everyone enjoyed the ride. The riders today were Neil Evanson Phil Gameson Matt Hale Colin Hall (P...

Re: Club runs - May 6th
I'll lead a C ride to Wyre Forest.
I had planned to do this earlier in the year but the snow defeated me. The forecast looks much better this time.
The route is here https://ridewithgps.com/routes/26664870.
It's 55 Miles, not flat, but the pace will be nice and steady.

Re: Club runs - 21st January
If the weather is poor, the B run may end up doing this shorter and less scenic route to Wyre Forest

Re: A new challenge? A new discipline? Piloting a tandem?
I've volunteered. I've never ridden a tandem however but will be giving it a go and see how I get on at the end of this month. I'm looking forward to it.

Re: Club runs - 21st January
The B run will be a 55 mile route to Wyre Forest with the Cafe at 30 miles. The route is a bit lumpy so the pace will be at the low end of B pace at around 14mph. It should be a perfect opportunity for any of the stronger C riders who wish to come along.

Re: Club runs - 3rd December
I'll be leading a nice leisurely C run to Lavender Hall following this route - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/26516740 It's 51 miles and a nice flat route with the cafe at about 28 miles. Coincidentally, on the way back we'll go past Packwood House which is part of the British Cycle Quest - https://...

Thanks for the ride Matt - It was certainly more adventurous than most C Rides but great fun.

Re: Panniers?!
I commuted for many years with a laptop and uniform in my panniers. I use a padded laptop case to protect the panniers (hard edges inside panniers can cause problems). My track is a Tubus alloy rack. I made my own panniers using Ortlieb accessories. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?url=https%3A%2F%2...

Re: Club runs - 9th July
Andy, Thanks for leading the B run at such short notice. I lost you when you turned right and Dave Hughes carried straight on. I could see Dave in the distance and eventually caught up with him where he explained he was going elsewhere. He very kindly sorted me out with directions before sending me ...

Re: Club runs - 11th June
Hi Simon, let's give it a go and label your ride as this week's B-ride. If no one turns up, you can ride at your own pace as you say above, but Beaconites, if you're considering a longer ride, then join Simon for a more leisurely 100miler than Paul's relentless pace. Simon is an experienced rider w...

Re: Club runs - 11th June
Thanks for the route Paul. Those that have ridden with me before will know that I tend to ride at a more leisurely pace than most. So as long as it's Ok with everyone, I'll start off with everyone and then hopefully catch you all up at the cafe. If there are any C/B riders who fancy a longer ride bu...

Re: Beacon's Brecons 300 - CLUB RUN 28th May
Thanks to everyone that waited for me at Monmouth. Unfortunately I was unable to find the cafe. I'm still plodding along. <@> glad I brought the lights, I'll need them.
