Club news

Wow - the 2009 season is about to begin. Hope everyone is eager to get back on our bikes and ride!

The Annual Club General Meeting was held on March 18, 2009 with a very positive feeling.

Wednesday night Mille is back. We will be taking a survey at the first two Wednesday rides of April to get feedback on ideas around if everyone is happy with Wednesday's for these rides or if another night would be preferred, ride distance, ride pace and having a captain for each ride to ensure the pack stays together and keeps a reasonable pace.

Also for some social fun - casually orgnaized pub nights or restaurant nights are proposed - we will get a feel for what members would like to do during the first few pre-season rides.

Thursday rides are back too - with some new ideas like having a neutral ride for a set distance, try to keep the pace for as long as you can after this distance, and having a designanted sweep that rounds up all the riders dropped by the main back to ensure these riders make it to the finish of the ride together.

Much interest was expressed to try to do more weekend touring rides - these rides will be casually organized so please watch your email posts or check this website for details.

Also more details will follow on this but lets try a bring a friend(newbie) night for a short distance ride to try to introduce more people interseted in cycling to the sport.

The club will be affiliated with the OCA again this year - OCA insurance is mandatory.

Can't wait to see everyone on the road!
Safe and fun riding.
