Helen, Richard, Chris: are you okay to turn up at the BH and then all of us discuss who is doing what?
Look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow.

Re: Sunday 5 Feb, C run to Bishampton - MAIN RIDE FULL BUT SECOND GROUP MAY FORM
On a more general note, I'm planning to get into a rhythm of leading a run roughly once a month. They'll be C runs (22kph-ish) through the spring, but once we get into the warmer weather, and I'm back on a lighter bike, I'll revert to leading B runs (25-26kph). (I'm not strong enough to lead at B pa...

Re: Sunday 5 Feb, C run to Bishampton
Cedric, my understanding was that the AGM decided that there was no obstacle to you participating as long as it was clear to everyone beforehand that you might occasionally use tri-bars, and that everyone was okay with that. I *am* okay with that, but I want to check that the others are too; that's ...

The annual gathering at the Swan has always been one of my favourite occasions.
