Another week, another storm... This time Dennis is forecasted to be bad enough to make us postpone the weekly club runs on account of rider safety.
Apologies again, but this always has to be our priority.
Youth Session Update
All Friday youth sessions are now suspended until further notice and when the whole Coronavirus situation improves and the outcome becomes much clearer.
While it is still permissible to cycle away from others you may still be able to get your cycling in with some care, or you may decide keeping fit indoors works for you, either way i'm sure we'll all be looking forward to getting things back to normal.
In the meantime, stay safe
