Good ride thanks Paul and interesting variation on the standard routes. I don't think I've ridden up Baccabox Lane before. So good to be out again and meeting people. Nice to catch up with Mick Cullingham at Wedges. Also thanks to Bike Man Dan for tweaking Ruth's bike at Packwood.

Suitable from as soon as they can sit up with full harness and then can be used with a seat belt as child gets older. We bought it 4 years ago pr...

Dave Cox

Many thanks to Paul D Run and Ced C Run for making sure there was a good Beacon turnout at the Meriden gathering of the cycling clans. We had some fun walking for a mile or so through the Knowle half marathon. My fault for suggesting what is usually the fastest route back. The WI Village Hall tea an...

Dave Cox

Dave Cox

This takes place in May each year (since 1921!) at the Cyclists' War Memorial on Meriden Green at 11.00. We have a Beacon RCC wreath and usually a group of us ride out. It is in remembrance of cyclists killed in the two World Wars and subsequent conflicts. There's a brass band and tea in the Village...

Dave Cox

I remember it well Tour of the Fords TT was a regular event in early '80s. I never rode but did marshal it once I think. Oscar is right the secret was to slow down ride straight through the fords but I recall that even a marshal came off. I do think that the fords have got more slippery over the yea...

Dave Cox

Thanks Mike for posting these classic photos. 20 years before my time with the Beacon but good to see youthful shots of Oscar Hopkins and Tony Webb and some great photos of your parents. Also good to be reminded of those times and those bikes !!

Dave Cox

Remember this Run is a 10.00 start

Dave Cox

Hi Ruth and Ellie it's about 38 miles and not too hilly. I did it in the reverse direction on Tuesday. Be good if you came along.
