Please take the time to read the following pamphlet – Code of Conduct for Equestrians and Cyclists.

Frank, one of the club’s vice presidents, died yesterday in a Redcar Nursing Home. Not sure of his exact age but I can remember piling into a Stokesley cafe after a Sunday Club Run when I was about 16 for his 40th ‘birthday party’ and that was 41 years ago!

He was one of the first members of the club back in 1958 and has been a club member ever since, held various club positions, organised races, was part of the Spokesman team in early years, however the support he gave for us youngsters in the early part of my cycling career was immense more so after my brother was killed. He also raced although he packed in racing in the late 1970’s. He became a keen photographer and regularly won the CTC photographer trophy.

Funeral details will be posted once they are known.

Stockton Wheelers are running a Bring and Buy Sale on Sunday 20th July at 2.30pm at the Wilson Centre, (Community Building) Long Newton, TS21 1DD.

The Centre is near the Londonderry Arms pub.

It’s the same format as our Autumn event. Refreshments are available.

Please see the statement below about the recent total closure of Morton Carr crossing near Nunthorpe by Network Rail.

The statement has been put together by two local cyclists – Keith Duncan and Andy Edwards.

Welcome to Le Tour weekend a la Network Rail and welcome to Le Tour A171 for Network Rail and Office of the Rail Regulator from local cyclists !!

Network Rail celebrated the Le Tour cycling week end by erecting 1.8 m high palisade steel fencing to finally stop all cyclists and walkers using a crossing to Guisborough Forest Walkway.

Hi Wheelers, I have been to see Brian tonight and he’s well on with recovering after his accident in Ayton nearly 2 weeks ago. Hes back at home and walking about o.k although still a bit bruised and battered and his back hurts. He has asked me to pass on his thanks for all the kind get well messages and cards. I have given him a new Cleveland wheelers cap as a present ( although it’s a dodgy purple colour). By the looks of him I’m sure he will be back in action soon and he seems in good spirits although he still can’t remember the accident.
