Hello to all the Wannabees

Two major events happening this week. Firstly our family ride Saturday and secondly only to that, the Epic.

Please look on the BLOG for info regarding the family ride. This replaces the Saturday LSD ride. We had to change to the Saturday doe to the Lourensford ride and the final stage of the Epic that happens on the Sunday. Come and join the benefits of being a club member and get a coffee and muffin at the end.

Our prize winners have been notified and will receive their white tops on Saturday

The Epic can be followed by going to the Epic webpage and then clicking on the live streaming which then shows the progress of the leaders on a real time basis.
Obviously the end at Lourensford with the associated mountain bike rides on the day. It is really worth while going to the finish line


Saturday saw a big group starting off on a mountain bike ride. Thanks to Clayton for coordinating the ride and taking initiative.

The BLOG is full of news., My letter is a reminder to have a good look at the BLOG. Michel puts a lot of effort into this real show piece. Please add comments or send photos and articles. All the details are on the BLOG

Weekly Safety Tip on Bunch Riding

Calling out!

Using hand signals is very useful when pointing out obstacles and hazard along the road. It’s even better if you call out the danger at the same time. Particularly when you need to keep your hands on the brakes to slow down for a red light or a stop it’s much safer to call out “light or robot” instead of trying to brake with one hand and signalling the danger with your other hand!

PLEASE NOTE

Winter start time begins now. LSD rides on weekends will start at 07h00

AN URGENT APPEAL ONCE AGAIN TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR M/AID DETAILS AND ICE CONTACT DETAILS ARE IN YOUR SADDLE BAG AND ON YOUR CELL

At the club ride we noticed some members who have not renewed their membership for 2010. If you have not received your membership card, you might have paid but we have not picked it up on the bank statements. Please contact Charles to rectify charlesnesbitt@woolworths.co.za

CLUB REMINDERS

Please remember to order the long sleeve cycling tops from Pieter. Winter is on the doorstep, do not get caught ‘cold armed’

The club will also present a hill climb/king of the mountain handicap race on the 1st of May. We hope to make this an annual event. Please diarise.
