Tomorrow's C ride takes us west and then south down to the Stratton Barn for refreshments (at 24 miles) followed by a fairly short leg home with a folowing SW breeze (promise!).
Forecast is for full sun, dry and fairly warm, up to 15 degrees C.

Hi Kirsty - I am not riding but hope to see you for coffee!

SWANS Track Event – Derby Arena Velodrome – Friday 20th January 2023
We have organised an opportunity for those who have never ridden inside a velodrome or would like another go. It is a very different experience to riding on the road – the bikes have one fixed gear and no brakes! But don’t worry, it really is great fun, not to say exhilarating!!!
No equipment necessary – we can hire bikes and shoes (not needed if you have Look/Keo plates)
We will have one hour on the track supervised by a track coach to guide us and help us to get the most out of our session.
Booking:
Our track booking is 8.00 – 9.00 pm on Friday 20th January
Venue:
Derby Arena, Communities and Place, Leisure Culture and Tourism, Derby Arena, Royal Way, Pride Park, Derby, DE24 8JB Tel: 01332 640011 http://www.derby.gov.uk
Car parking is available at the venue.
Costs:
BC Registered Club package
Track Hire (max 16 riders) £152.00
Coach £30.50
Bike £8.50
Shoes £6.90
Cost per rider £26.81

The cost per rider assumes we have 16 riders. Individual cost would be less if you don’t hire shoes.
Bike Hire sizing:

We will need to forward this information nearer the time.
PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INTEREST IN COMING TO DERBY BY HITTING THE ‘I’M ATTENDING’ BUTTON AS USUAL
ANY QUESTIONS – PLEASE ASK!

Maybe wise to think about staying locally the night before to avoid a very early start

Please note revised route to avoid road closure in Steeple Claydon

Hi B Riders
I am posting the B Equinox ride on behalf of Stewart who will lead on the day.

Autumn Equinox time is here - so days slightly darker, definitely cooler!

Hi Midweekers
Late post but thought we should make the effort!
I have given blood today so relatively easy, shortish loop round to the George & Dragon at Quainton.
Route is around 24 miles to cafe stop and then only 12 back home.
If you want to join the ride, please hit the I'm attending button at the top of the post.
Hope to see you in the morning.

Thanks Tim, I’ll update our records

Hi Guys
Just a few points from my recce visit to the Cotswolds today for you to be aware of:
There is a charter fair on in the middle of Chipping Norton tonight/Saturday - but it should all be cleared away by Sunday morning. If it is still there this will mean a slight detour to the New Street car park (OX7 5NF). There were good diversion signs - you can still get into New Street but approach from the A361 side of the T junction (by the end of the fair).
To spend a penny in the public toilets in the car park you will need 20p!
