Introductory Rides 2015
As usual we need a good mix of volunteers for these rides which are proving to be as popular as ever. So can we please, please have some new ride leaders and support riders to ease the burden on those who regularly turn out. We have more than enough competent members that you only need turn out for two Sundays a year, once as leader and once as support. If you don't feel confident as leader then just volunteer as a support rider.

Hi all
As a reminder I'm taking the intro ride this Sunday to The Stables in Earlswood. If conditions are tricky i'll stick to gritted routes as far as possible.
The plan is for a 25 - 30 mile ride with a slightly longer outward leg than return. Depending on the group this can be lengthened or shortened to suit. It'll be a sociable potter and the route will be as flat as i can make it.
I'll be at the Black Horse for 9:15 looking to leave by 9:30 at the latest. I ride a light blue Kinesis but i'll make myself known.
Look forward to seeing you there.

Hi to all
I have put my name down to support the intro ride on the 7th June with mark Finglas. Would anyone else be willing to take my place as I really fancy going on Paul's 100 in 8 hrs as these rides don't come along very often and I don't want to let him down. If no interest I will continue with it.
Thanks

This Sundays April intro. ride will be to the Stables café near Earlswood.
Route is a tad over 30 miles (unless we decide to detour) and will be out past Kings Norton golf club, Tanworth in Arden, Pig Trot Lane, across to Packwood, Hockley Heath and Stables cafe. Return via Wythall.
Support will be provided by Paul Farrel in Helens absence and all are welcome to join for an easy paced ride and back earlier than usual club runs in time for Easter Sunday duties.

Hi Raj - if you can ride for an hour and a half at a steady pace, stop for a cup of tea and a piece of cake and then ride for another hour and a half, you'll be fine.
Looks like its going to be a fine day for a bike ride, judging by the weather forecast, so even less to be nervous about!
I hope you enjoy it!!

Wondering whether to update http://www.beaconrcc.org.uk/club_runs/i ... index.html - is there an intro ride on Sunday?
Eat cake before you're hungry

Re: Intro
I need to sort out arrangements this weekend, but I may be able to support you, Bob. Will let you know soon.bobg wrote:I'm happy to lead the intro this coming Sunday. Was thinking either Cutnall Green, or maybe Whitlenge. May be slightly over the 30 miles but it will be very steady.
EDIT
I will have to say no, unfortunately. This weekend is my only opportunity to test ride The Kidderminster Killer. Given the forecast for Saturday, my ride may now occur on Sunday.

Re: Intro
Bob, have you decided upon which of the two potential destinations you will be using? Lisa may ride out with Thomas to join up with the group at the cafebobg wrote:I'm happy to lead the intro this coming Sunday. Was thinking either Cutnall Green, or maybe Whitlenge.

Intro.
Hi Philip, The plan was, if only a small group then Cutnall Green or a larger group and everyone was happy to do an extra 5 miles or so then Whitlenge.
But quite happy to make it whitlenge whatever. See you in the morning and thanks for your help.

No worries. I'm not strong enough to lead yet, so I've messaged john Dealey and he's agree to lead.Jsexpress wrote:Helen
I'm going to have to back down as leader as I've been in some pain and discomfort which has left me not able to sit on my saddle.
Really sorry
John
I just hope you're feeling better soon, that's the important thing.

Hi all, apologies but I will no longer be able to lead the intro ride on the 1st November due to new job/new shift roster putting me on dayshift over that weekend. The new shift is four on four off so getting out regularly with you all will be a little more sporadic in future. Hopefully not too much though.
Thanks Chas.
