John has been in touch to let us know that he will be presenting a talk at the Guildford Travel Club (Onslow Village Hall) on Tuesday 7 February (starting 8pm). The talk will feature his incredible 2015 trans-American bike trip, following in the footsteps (or should that be “wheeltracks”?) of Bob Mcleod who also also completed this epic journey. John was originally invited to prepare this talk by Paul Gillingham, who was much involved in GTC.

Limited tickets are available for non-members. Further details can be found at the GTC website:

I have a complete run of ‘Cyclist‘ magazines from Issue 1 (Nov 2012) to Issue 121 (Jan 2022) in excellent condition, looking for a good home. They won’t fit in a saddlebag – the pile is 3 feet (90cm) high. They are aimed at well-heeled cyclists who like trendy gear and outings.

Recently, possibly for the 10th occasion, Elaine and Neil Eason opened up their home and garden in order to support a cancer charity.

Consequently, a gathering of 30, G2/G3 cyclists, having cycled from all directions, met to enjoy a superb Barbecue meal prepared by Elaine, Barbara and Jessica and assisted by master of the BBQ, Laurie Mutch!

The weather was warm and sunny and everyone ate, drank and were merry. All food and drinks were free but everyone was asked to kindly make a donation towards Macmillan Cancer Support. I am very pleased to report the total sum donated was a massive £620! This was way above expectations and we thank you all for supporting this excellent charity.
