Corners like a pig, but the leather saddle is real comfy..!

Too much snow here to cycle, but going skiing this weekend for some cross training!

See y’all

Beeston CC Introductory Rides

adpugh — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 22:15:26 +0000

Tim and Judy have worked out a route for the introductory rides here

We are looking at this being a 12.5 mph, 2 and a bit hour ride.

The club needs to provide a route leader and someone riding ‘shotgun’ as we will leave no one on the road. The person at the back needs to be able to repair and carry spares. So if you are able to volunteer the rides will be on:

22nd March (Tim, Adrian)

26th April (Richard, Adam )

17th May (Adam)

28th June

19th July

16th August

20th September

(The 3rd Sunday of every month at 2pm (apart from June))

Let me know if you can help and what month ….

Flowers for Randall

adpugh — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 19:59:35 +0000

Having received details for flowers for Randall Lewis’s funeral it seems appropriate that we send some from Beeston CC given his support to the club’s development. Judy has kindly agreed to go and get some. If you wish to donate pass the money on to her or via Richard. Any extra money can go to the Charities that the family have suggested.

Cycle Maintenance.

Does anybody else feel the same as me out there?

I would like to know more about how to maintain my bikes, would any of the more experienced mechanics like to give me/us a lesson in the essentials, especially indexing gears.

I was thinking a couple of hours one Sat/Sun afternoon, i can provide a garage, tea/coffee/beer etc.

Party, Party, Party!

As you know the Brittle Clan are moving to NY early in February.

To mark our departure we have booked the function room at the Commercial for Sunday 1st Feb. 7:30pm to 11pm so it’s an adults only do. Sorry it’s a “school night” but some of you will be nursing sore bits on the Saturday, and timing was getting a bit tight!

We hope as many of you as possible can make it. We will put on a few nibbles, but not too much as it gets in the way of drinking. I overcame my reluctance to blog about boozing on the BCC website when I remembered that beer has featured at least as much as cycling ever since we all started riding together.

All the best

Simon and Ruth
