Club runs - 7th February
Obviously the wet start to Sunday meant that some riders decided on a duvet day, but there was a healthy turnout of 28 riders (19 on the two-café C-ride) across the three rides nonetheless. This weeks club runs are:
A: Charlecote GC - Ian Taylor
B: Kenilworth - Colin Groves
C: Lavender Hall Fisheries - Steve Smith
Intro Ride: Gary Macintosh as Leader, John Deeley in support
Gary, please take a quick glance at the new guidelines for Intro rides here

Sundays B run to Kenilworth will be around 58 miles and not particularly hilly.
I don't have many miles in my legs so far this year so the pace will probably sit towards the lower end of the B run guidelines. This might be a good opportunity for any confident C runners who want to try a B run to tag along.
I intend to go to Escape Café. If we're a big group it's worth having another Café up our sleeve to decant into if anyone can recommend one?
Bike locks are probably a good idea.

B Run
I fancy a crack at a B run, be gentle with me though.
Jordan - you'll probably surprise yourself. 14 - 15 mph average is fairly easily achievable in a group on a flatter route, although the wind might slow us down a bit.
Might be an idea for anyone who hasn't been on a B run before to make themselves known to me at the Blackhorse so as a group we can keep an eye on them.

Claire Fudge
Jordan Steven
Phil Gameson
Paul Robinson
Andy Wrightson
Paul Knox
Neil Lynch
Chris Thompson
2 flats but no issues besides considering it was more cyclocross than anything else. Cafe was ok, we all fitted in nicely and considering there were so many of us the service wasn't that bad - albeit for a couple of hiccups.
Well done to the B run first timers. I made the average 14.4mph although the floods hampered progess.
Thanks all for your company today.

On today's intro. Ride were
Gary Mackintosh (lead)
John Deeley (s)
Sue Roberts (second intro.outing)
Andy Nott
Mark McConkey
A very busy Stables cafe but good food as ever.
Regretfully Sue had an unscheduled dismount just after Seafield Lane resulting in some damaged clothing and a very sore thumb making gear shifting increasingly difficult. Thanks to Gary and Michelle for sorting a lift home from the cafe for Sue (any excuse for a second bacon sandwich Gary!!).
Sue, glad you got back on the bike and made it to the cafe, hope you're ok and hope to see you again.
As per the revised guidelines, I have Sues email address, who should this be forwarded to?
