ditto - so that's a good 1/2 dozen so far

AdeR

I'll second that. Nice work!

AdeR

This is the first time I've set off on a ride pondering the words of Ruskin. They turned out to be entirely appropriate! Thanks for a great ride.

AdeR

Top work Hels!

AdeR

Halloween Special race night. It looks like 28th October is the last chance we'll have to use the wheels park so let's go out on a high. I'll organise a race night for club members. No cost. 7pm to 9pm. The programme will be like a track league night - but we'll be on road bikes. Please sign up beca...

AdeR

Sorry all. The adults’ session at the wheels park is cancelled for this week. I’m off at a funeral, I’m afraid. Kids’ session can still go ahead. All being well we’ll be back on next week (7th).

AdeR

Thanks Kyle - glad you enjoyed it. See you Thurs. Looks like it might be a wet one so methinks a mudguards week. Out of interest what did you have on the clock? I know you could have pushed the pace on further - so thanks for looking after the line behind on the last bit of the session!

AdeR

AdeR

Provisionally I'm thinking a hybrid should be ok Helen. I'm going to see clarification though(I must confess this isn't something I'd considered). Would you be able to send a pic over? (academy@beaconrcc.org.uk) All the best, Ade

AdeR

We had a venue in mind for our race and undertook a risk assessment. Following this the new regulations for the 2021/2 season were announced by the WMCCL including reintroducing two bikes. This made our proposal unworkable for two reasons i) potential noise of jetwashers in a residential area ii) di...

AdeR

I have done my knee in. On holiday on the Irish North Coast I did the Portrush park run - 1st back after lockdown. It was on the beach & I decided barefoot would be the way to go. Bad move. Following day I could barely walk. I'm back riding ok (ish) but would like to do the cross. Could do with some...
