Due to the rain forecast tomorrow the G3 ride has been postponed until the following day.
Hope to see you in Micheldever on Thursday, same time.

We are considering cancelling the ride tomorrow in view of forecast heavy rain. Please check this site later after 10:00pm
Thanks, Chris
With a record 90 riders taking part in the three events and a forecast of 25 degrees the day was a roaring success.
Teamwork moved up a gear to meet the high numbers with Peter and Christine Hackman still producing their high catering standards; Elizabeth Weatherburn and Marion Davison gave valuable assistance in the kitchen whilst Bob and Nick handled the record keeping.
It was a great day for the Club with eight riders from the Sunday All Day Group on the Danebury 150k event.
I have long believed that we should be providing short and quite quick weekend rides for our members, and also believe that the demand is there. However, in order to add such rides to the programme, we need ride leaders prepared to take on such rides.
My proposal is that we add rides on a Saturday morning, starting at 9.30, c 35 miles, at a pace of about 15 mph. No coffee stop, so you should be back by 12.00. By arranging these for a Saturday, it should not affect all the regular Sunday rides.
I would be happy to lead such rides once a month, but naturally require further ride leader volunteers. Please let me know if you are happy to take this on, if I can get 3 more volunteers then it will a commitment for only once a month. If you are not already a registered ride leader, please do not think that you cannot put your name forward, we are always needing new ride leaders, and the procedure for adding new ride leaders is straightforward, designed simply to make sure that those who are lead on rides are protected by a responsible and experienced rider.
Please contact me direct if you are happy to volunteer. Once I have the necessary commitment I will draw up a rides programme, which will be shown on the Rides Calendar.

It is with immense sadness that I need to advise members that David Wood passed away last Sunday.
He
had been battling cancer over the past 6 years. I personally saw him quite
recently, and it was absolutely clear that his enthusiasm for life,
determination, and humour were undimmed.

I know that our thoughts will be with Angela at this sad time.
