Hello everyone
Spring is upon us, warmer mornings, nice bit of South Easter wind and earlier sunlight
NOTE NEW STARTING TIME FOR WEEKEND RIDES
Good group rides this weekend past, ride to Rooi Els just for Danie Malan we organised some wind and Sunday the turnout was more than 30 riders
With the groups getting bigger splits will happen. Try and be sensible. Select a group that fits your abilities and if you then feel stronger than the group, take on the front end and pull the others.
If you feel that the group you are in is to strong, please tell the others in the group that you are going to fall back to a slower group. We want to accommodate everyone and we want to ensure that everyone gets home safely
We had a our Kermesse’s wrap-up meeting last night.
The attendance was poor despite a lot of effort put in by club members and the organising committee
We shall report back to WPCA and see what the future holds
As for now the focus is on the DC
This weekend is DC grouptraining time again. Make sure what time your group is leaving and enjoy
A few teams are looking at the ONETONNER as a traing ride. Enter in time if your team is going to do this.
Mid September should see the morning sessions start up. More about that later
CLUBRACE
Michel is looking into setting up a ‘hill climb handicap race’ for club members. Most of you will remember that this was a very popular and fun event two years ago. Gives the old and or overweight riders a fair chance to compete (a downhill race would be better suited for Robbie and myself)
Keep an eye on the blog for dates and details
AGM
For practical reasons the AGM will be held in mid October 2009.
We need good attendance and a venue. If anyone has any contacts for a venue that could accommodate about 60 people, please contact me.
A date will be set in the next newsletter
Anyone wishing to stand for any position on the club committee, please contact me. We will then get a nomination form sent out
