Saturday Club Ride : 19th October 2019

Unfortunately, although the weather may be OK, we are short of a ride leader for this week's Saturday club ride.

So, at the moment, there is no planned ride this Saturday.

If any of the Saturday regulars want to ride and would like some company perhaps (can't promise anything) email the Secretary and we can put a post on the Facebook page to tempt people out.

Saturday Club Ride : 12th October 2019

The weather is fairly changeable at the moment, the Met office certainly having difficulty in making a forecast of any accuracy.

So, this week shouldn't be too windy, but it might be damp.

The route is fairly flat, and if the weather is worse than expected, we might be able to shorten it a little. Maybe.

Meet up, as usual, outside Priory School, at 8:30am.
