Club runs - 2nd June
Posted: 28 May 2019 09:31
So we now meander into the month of June, the prime month for cycling given nice weather and long days...and as a club we're after people who can give a few moments to help out and make us the most varied club in the area. It is a struggle to get people to help out 'out of hours' as it were, and we tend to rely on the same people every time, so if you're a Beacon member, why not give a little back....Here's where you can help.
- Jess is organising our Open 10mile Time Trial this year on Saturday 15th June, one of our landmark events...so if you're not intending to ride Nick Shenton's 'Chase the Cat' 300kms club run that same day, then please help out for a couple of hours on the Saturday afternoon. See Jess' post on the message board for what is required.
- Also, Adrian R has posted about getting someone along to the Rowheath AGM on Wednesday 5th June in the evening. Be good if someone can go along to this to see their plans and to feedback both what we want and what they intend to do going forward.
- Club run leaders...we've started to get in a rut of organising rides on the day for virtually everything except the A-ride, which continues to have several volunteers to lead taking it in turns...be good if we can get this culture going for the C-ride in particular...why not start the ball rolling.
Onto club runs, the Bank Holiday weekend passed with well over 20 riders out on club runs, and unlucky for the few that had mechanicals and had to end their ride early. Thanks to the leaders for taking the rides to the various cafes around the shires. There were lots of other things going on of course, races around Abergavenny, and five of us rode our first 600kms audax over the weekend over most of the roads in mid-Wales...and thanks to my co-audaxers for the company, humour and determination to ride for two days...and excellent to see Simon Woodward and his amazingly laden-down bike heading south towards Devon as we were nearly finishing...
This weeks' rides are as follows:
A: Ludlow - Nick Shenton (meet at 08:00 for 08:15 start)
B: Volunteer required
C: Wootton Wawen - Simon White
Intro Ride: Volunteer and support rider required
Details of Saturday's women's ride will be posted here and on Facebook
