Now that mornings are lighter. Can we go back to starting at 8 ?

That would get my vote. It will either allow us to go further afield or finish a little earlier.

Hi @JohnnyG

I've been back through the calendar (both current and the BC one) but can't find any record of rides starting at 8 before. The original start time was 09:45 on the first rides but this got put back to 08:45 in the summer last year where it's stayed.

I can understand the rationale and desire for an earlier start for some, particularly for those of us with young families, but it may not be ideal for all.

At the social last week there was a suggestion that once a month the rides are longer (eg 50-60 miles) and that those have an earlier start to accommodate the extra distance. Perhaps this would be a fair compromise? Unless of course there is a large majority in favour of changing the start time.

Cheers

Matt

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
