Re: INTRO RIDE SUNDAY 3RD JULY 9 AM- The Boat Shack, Aztec Adventure Centre, Upton Warren - 30 miles
Hello, Chris. I plan to stop by at the café to say hello. I reckon you'll be there by about 10:45, so that's the time I'll aim for unless you tell me otherwise.

However, I'm mulling over ways of linking up with you briefly on one or both rides or...

The name Nancy Lamb doesn't ring a bell with me. However, Jack and Jean Clements' daughter Avril became Avril Lamb when she married. Probably just coincidence, but possibly there's a link of some kind. Alan Nicholls, Tony Webb, Mavis Williams or someone like that might know.

Weekly club update and club runs for the week 16-22 May
A wet start to Sunday failed to dampen the spirits of five intrepid club run groups. The A group rode a few swells on the way to Brewood and back in four-and-a-half hours. The ride was sadly marred by leader Nick taking a dive. Whether the incident was facilitated by any newly qualified first-aiders...
