Club runs - 2nd April
So we did go from having no A-run to having no B-run, but it's early days on the 'Great move up' experiment, and things are looking good for this week.
On Sunday we had 31 people out on the two rides despite it being Mother's Day, which was a good effort. There were a couple of mechanicals resulting in abandoned rides, which was unfortunate, but hopefully everyone made it back home safely without too much of a dent in their bank balances.
We're into April now, with summer bikes and sunny dispositions not too far away...so come along this week and ride over four different rides, which are:
A: Malvern - Paul Johnson (08:15 start)
B: Arley - Andy Terry
C: Volunteer required
Intro Ride: Volunteer and support required.
This is a perfect week for some C-riders to ride out with Andy on the B-ride, which will no doubt be a textbook B-ride, so close to the guidelines that you'd need an electron microscope to spot any differences. However, it does need one of the 16-20 regulars on the C-ride to volunteer to lead this Sunday. Also good if we can have a volunteer for the Intro ride, as we have 2-3 people emailing as to joining the club with the intention of turning up this week.

On this week's reclassified ride we are not going to try and make a silk purse out of sow's ear so anyone who has rode on my B run's before it will be exactly the same pace no faster or slower. Anyway this week's route will be 86 miles with 6,000ft of climbing we will go out via Stourport and Knightwick stop at the British Camp Malvern and return via Upton and Droitwich lumpy on the way out flat on the way back.

Good ride Paul. Really enjoyable. I think Ryan's name needs adding.
For the sanity of fellow riders, I have just replaced my bottom brackets.

Second B / C group
A lovely sunny day broke out after the initial chilly start. Lots of riders at the BH this morning, too many for one B group, so a bit of organisation was required to accommodate some Intro riders, some new B riders and the usual C group. Special thanks to Dave Little for taking a small group of new riders to Droitwich (3 points and chapeau, I think!)
Riders to day (C) were as follows;
Si Walker (Leading)
Mark McConkey
Mark Gardner
Neil Evanson
Vincent Bulso
Gemma Johnson
Adrian McHugh
Alberto Recchioni (welcome to the Beacon and well done meeting up with us after only flying into the country yesterday!)
