Thanks again to the committee for the ideas and energy they commit to the club.

In terms of Christmas meal, agree it would be nice to have a change from Prezzo. As well as the options mentioned, maybe worth considering the Turkish place in Cornwalls Place?

Yes definitely up for it, happy to drive and can take three others. Will let Pat sort out the logistics of who, when, etc!

I'm pre-registered!

Looks like they are going to run another 100 mile event in Birmingham next May:

Last time was a decent route, let down by poor feed stops, but they acknowledged the feedback so hopefully will sort it out this time.

@PaulW, All - when I spoke to the marshall at the end of the session last night, he said they were thinking about running an extra session in September. So there may yet be a further round! He advised us to keep an eye on the Silverstone Running and Cycling Club website in case they do announce an extra session.

Looks a good ride - especially the section along the M40!

Should see you there.

@TallTim when I click on the link above I get the message "the page you're looking for no longer exists"!

Good to see so many events! Thanks Committee.

Am interested but could only do 16th, so understand if not this time.

Happy to drive and take passengers if you do go for 16th. 63 miles fine. (Could take me plus three passengers; I have Thule roof bike carriers for four bikes.)

Thanks Committee, I am sure I am not the only member/rider who appreciates that you have stepped up to run the club and progressing the various activities and discussions going on.

Don't be disheartened if no member shows up to the committee meetings - I expect most of us are very happy with how things are and have no burning issues to raise! The renewal numbers (49 - well done) and attendance at the rides demonstrate the support.

So 7am at the Swan Pool?

This is a great idea and would love to have come, unfortunately have something else on tonight. Please don't be put off if numbers are low, hopefully will make it another time.

Looks like the men in September are going over some of the same roads as the women in June: stage 4 of the OVO Energy Tour of Britain climbs up Edge Hill and rides through Burton Dassett on Wed 5 September.

This is the only stage that comes near to us, so potentially a date in the diary for a club/informal ride? (But despite posting this I probably won't be able to come!)

Afraid I can't make it again this week - family day out instead! Have a good ride.

Order placed!

Will give this a go, though could be a challenge!

Great ride @GuyWood, thanks.

Looks good. Thanks @PatH and @PaulW

Sorry but I won't make it either, doing the Evans MK ride tomorrow so will spend Sunday with my feet up (or painting a bit more of the fence). Looks a good ride and with a new stop - enjoy!

All,

The Women's Tour is passing close to us on stage 2, Thursday 14 June:

http://www.womenstour.co.uk/stages/stage-2/

Starting in Rushen (Northants), it comes through Stony Stratford, Deanshanger, Whittlebury, and north up towards Daventry, on some of the roads we know well.

I doubt I will be able to go and see it due to work, but wanted to highlight it in case some members wanted to cycle over and see it somewhere along the route.

I would love to do this but foolishly am on holiday this year for the ride. Maybe next year!

If for some reason there aren't four people going for it let me know and I'll go for it and defer a place - but fully expecting lots of you to want to do it this year!

Just got an email from BC saying that my payment is "not a guarantee of acceptance of club membership" and this will only happen "if the club secretary approves your subscription"! Let's hope the club secretary looks favourably on my application!

And me!

I was hoping to come along but now I can't make it. Have a good ride and hopefully see you next week.

I was just thinking a trip to Upper Stow would be nice... hope the table by the fire is free when we get there.
