Calendar

As the November ride was cancelled due to the bad weather, a delayed 2015 ride for the 3rd Sunday of the month

The annual November ride through the Mersey tunnel, across the Wirral to the famous Eureka cycle cafe. A run across the Wirral to New Brighton ( maybe an ice cream stop somewhere) and then back through the Tunnel.

Recommended to have lights (at the least a rear light for the trip through the tunnel) as it may well be going dark by the time we are coming home.

See here for a description of the 2014 ride.

Please note, ride now leaving the Plough at 8:30

Colin will be hosting the informal forum.

An opportunity for all members to express their views and make suggestions as to how our club can get better.

Come along and join in the fun.

PS: There are plans for the traditional (well we’ve done it for the last 2 years at least) ride to Ribchester on Bank Holiday Monday, starting at the Plough at 8:30. This is about a 60 mile ride. There may be an option for some to go on to Sabden, via the Nick o’Pendle, which adds about 20 miles to the ride and involves a hilly loop.

Thanks,

Geoff
