The Sun Shone on the Elstead Audaxes

A hot sunny day provided ideal conditions for the Elstead, Danebury and Stonehenge Audax events run from Elstead Village Hall by our club members on Sunday. Unfortunately entries were down this year, which may have been due to an Evans Sportive from Woking. The Club Sunday All Day Riders turned out in force on the Danebury and only just made the control time due to stopping at too many ice cream parlours!

G-BUG meeting 11 June

Help Guildford Borough Council and Surrey County Council improve cycling infrastructure and make cycling safer – 6pm 11th June, Guildford Council Chamber.

Your chance to learn about planned cycling infrastructure (or the lack of) in the Guildford (Borough) Transport Strategy and ask the leading councillor questions.

Number count, so your presence is important.

Assume 60 to 90 minutes for the meeting.

There is secure cycle parking outside the chamber, if the fixed loops are full, chain up to the railings.  The Suffragettes did, and they got the vote.  Make yours count.

 

Mayday Midweek 2018 – photos

Nine cyclists and three non-cyclists enjoyed a Tuesday-Friday ‘weekend’ (we’re nearly all retired these days) at The Bell House Hotel in Sutton Benger, near Chippenham in Wiltshire.  Here are a few of my photographs.  There are more (and larger) photos at https://www.flickr.com/photos/chris_jeggo/albums/72157695067222391.
