Today 9 riders turned up for a windy ride at Bird Hills golf club this week.  The riders being: Ian, Mark, Jonny, Danuta, Mike, Matt, Dominic, Gary and myself.   While at the golf club it was noticed that the tube on Marks rear tyre was trying to escape through a slit in the side wall, so a repair was required. During the discussion about route, 3 people wanted to be home around 11am for various reasons.  Danuta suggested going up the hill out the back of Henley with a large communications / satellite dish on the left.

The minutes of January's committee meeting can be found here.

We have just learned that MDCC having completed all the necessary qualifications has now been granted Clubmark status by British Cycling. We will be receiving our Clubmark Certificate at a Go-Ride Conference later in the year.

Many thanks to Andrew Small who started the process, Paul Richardson who completed the bulk of the work, Nigel Shurben, Andrew Richardson our Go-Ride coaches and  all members who assisted in delivering Go-Ride sessions

A group of nine (Danuta, Andy, Ian, Gary, John, Mark, Matt, Simon, and myself) braved the cold, ice and bitter wind that periodically hit the group for the BH Sunday morning ride.

Leaving BH we headed out through Bray and on to Maidenhead at a steady pace. Not sure who was leading as Andy and I were enjoying the ride sitting at the back talking about the merits of the if it ain’t broke don’t fix it philosophy and the wasteful throwaway society of today. We probably sounded like a couple of grumpy old men).
