Thanks for leading a very enjoyable club run Steve.

On this ride were two new riders, Brendon who lives just down the road from me and his friend Karena (not to be confused with the other Karena who does the epic Audaxes)…..:.Welcome to The Beacons both!

Hi George

Just to confirm I’m happy to Marshal and I’d quite like to do the Lower Broadheath junction.

Thanks

Chris

I placed an Order on the 28th April and haven’t heard anything from Santini. When I checked progress it just said it was on ‘back order’ . Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks for leading Adrian.

Next time I will take some food so I don't run empty and make my own way home.

chris ankcorn

Count me in Ade.

Great choice of Cafe btw… Bartley SC have a hose near the slipway if our bikes get caked!

Although weather forecast cast looks dry so unlikely to need the hose.

chris ankcorn

Thanks Adrian for organising a very enjoyable ride.

chris ankcorn

Please sign me up.

You make a compelling argument for not stopping for food.

Thanks

Chris

Apologies to everyone who were forced to witness the ugly side of my neurodiversity when those cars jumped the 3 way control traffic lights. Can’t promise that it won’t happen again but I felt ashamed of my behaviour.

Back in the day we had a list of gritted routes that we frequently rode on the colder days. Anyone for Cobhouse Fisheries via main roads this weekend?

That would be me and Alex.

Thanks for organising and leading a brilliant club run although your choice of weather could have been better

Hi Pete.

Please count me in, I’ve now got a wider cassette for my bike so St Kenelms will be a good test.

Thanks

Chris

chris ankcorn

How was the Roukie Chris?? It’s very nice Dave. The Reynolds 653 frame is compliant smoothing out the bumps. Everything works flawlessly. The rear 8 speed 13-23 cassette isn’t brilliant I must admit but I’m planning to swap this for one with wider ratios. I would encourage anyone to experience vint...
