Q: When did you start and what made you start cycling 

A: I started cycling “properly” in 2008. Had bikes on a couple of occasions previous to that but did not cycle much. I was a keen squash, cricket and football player but age caught up with me so was looking for another sport. A work colleague encouraged me. Squash damaged me a bit as I have had two hip operations. Like Andy Murray has had.

Q: What sort of riding do you enjoy 

The first weekend of Spring brought out lots of us this morning - finally the wind has dropped, the sun is out and the temperature is rising.  A couple of the usual clock tower riders took the opportunity to ride out with the Bird Hills group and by all accounts cruised round the 60 miles plus at a speed of over 19mph.  The rest of us met at the Clock Tower at the usual time.  Tom had offered to take a medium-fast group over a hilly 55 miles (average 16-5mph), and the rest of us were set to do a 40 mile route (average 14-16mph).

As agreed at the AGM the club have purchased a more up to date bike box.

The black Bonza box that we now have, and which is free to use for Club Members, features:

In the early hours of Sunday morning one of our members, who lives in Shurlock Row, had their garage broken into and three valuable bikes were stolen. The bikes are those in the photos attached to this post, and the details of their spec is below:
