Chat session

Instead of a ride, a meeting at Rowheath to discuss plans for rides in 2017 and to answer questions on bike maintenance, including a puncture repair demonstration from John P.

There was support for:

(i)  a monthly longer ride (in addition to the regular ride) on the first Saturday of the month, starting on 4th February

(ii)  a longer ride on the third Sunday of each month

(iii)  a car assisted ride.  Possible start points mentioned were Derbyshire and Rutland.

(iv)  a mid-week ride from Rowheath.  John B will investigate.

Queen Elizabeth Hospital

Eighteen riders on a mild damp day to the QE for coffee, via a route which took in Manor Farm and Victoria Parks.
