Tomorrow’s ride – press coverage

I have been advised that the Surrey Advertiser are planning to publish an article on John Weatherburn’s ride across America, and intend to send a photographer to the start of our ride tomorrow, to show John riding with our group.  I have agreed to this, it will be a great  opportunity to publicise the ride, or more specifically the fact that he will be raising money, for very personal reasons, for Cancer Research UK.   Our wish must be that this “goes viral” (I think that is the phrase!) and John can then get support from far and wide.
The photo shoot will also be an opportunity, perhaps, to publicise our Club, so I think it would be a good idea for as many of us as possible to wear club jerseys, even if we cover up again later if it is too cold; those who do wear club jerseys can feature at the front of any pictures, which might be an incentive (or not, depending on how you feel!).
It will naturally take time for photos to be taken, so if you can turn up promptly, that would be great.  I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Annual Dinner 28th February

Thank you to those who have already responded and booked their places at the dinner on 28th February, which this year will feature not only the presentation of awards, some expected and some with an element of surprise, but also a short talk by Chris Juden, who no doubt has a fund of interesting stories from his 30 years working with CTC.
This is a final reminder for those who have not yet booked; please contact me by e-mail (ridessecretary@westsurreyctc.co.uk) or phone to reserve your place and advise your menu choices; see post of 15 January for all further details.
 

Tomorrow’s ride

The weather forecast indicates that it will remain very cold overnight and into tomorrow, with rain during the morning highly likely.  Rico will be unable to ride, sensibly taking another week to recuperate – and hoping for warmer weather next Wednesday!  If there is ice likely tomorrow (and the forecast rain makes that more of a possibility) then I, too, would think that it is more sensible not to ride, and will therefore not be leading.  I will decide tomorrow, and will post any notice of cancellation on this site by 8.30 latest, so please keep a look out.  Alternatively, you may wish to phone me (01276-68113101276-681131)
