Back on your bike April 4th 2021
Here we Go! Boris says you can Get on Your Bike and ride with us! April 4th 2021
Hello everyone! I hope you are all well and enjoying the start of Spring and warmer toes when on the bike! Good News! Boris says YES to groups of six (and more if from the same household), so let’s get going again from 9am April 4th 2021. Not sure if Easter Sunday is a popular start day or if the sun will be shining, however if you want to burn a few calories before tucking into chocolate treats then I am sure there will be a few who fancy a ride. So… either get onto the Club Facebook page and start a conversation about getting a group together or just turn up for a 9am start (08.50!) on April 4th and we can organise ourselves. We have a few new members who have joined in lock-down so it may be an opportunity to take some newcomers on your favourite ride! If you haven’t been out for a while, don’t beat yourself up, nor hesitate to come – I’ve been out five times since October (!), we can help each other get back to cycling fitness.
Looking forward to seeing you all again.
Let’s Go!

Covid-19 Update
The club is looking to the first weekend in September as a possible weekend to restart club rides. Of course things may change between then and now, however we will put a mark in the sand and aim to find a way to meet 9am Sunday September 6th 2020
We will be mindful as things unfold over the Summer and review if our Sunday in September plan is safe and unoffensive in the light of what unfolds.
