CTC Membership & Insurance

For those of you still wondering about the best deal for 3rd party liability insurance whilst out riding, the CTC do a very good deal for club members. Their normal adult rate is over £40 but if you quote our club affiliation number you can get it for just £18. This will give you £10 million quid of liability cover, and they also offer a host of other insurance options for bikes & bike related travel. The relevant CTC web page is here.

If anyone is interested and would like the affiliation number just contact me here.

A Good Weekend

Its been a  good weekend of club runs this weekend. 16 or so for both days of the Very Steady group (with some people out both days), and 14 or so in both the Steady and Fast groups today. Good riding, well disciplined with little or no incident (one minor tangle in the Very Steadies today) and importantly no one being left behind to fend for themselves. In addition there was an excellent turn out for Marcus’s Strength Training Program in Saltburn.
Well done and a big thank you to all those ride leaders who turned up.
On another note, winter is most definitely coming, so it’s time for everyone to get mudguards fitted. In fact they’re a requirement if you’re coming on a club run in winter. Crud RoadRacer are my preferred guards, though some prefer SKS Raceblades. Others are also probably available. You pays your money and you takes your choice…

Easy paced rides. Sat 25th, Sun 26th

Hi wheelers and guests. We are going to run the easy paced group this Saturday and Sunday again after some success last week. This group is aimed at those who would like to ride with us but haven’t the speed or confidence to go with our existing steady group which does 16/17mph. This weekend looks a bit windy again but should be rideable. Meet both days at Ayton tourist info car park. Saturday will change to 10.30am depart to give some people time to get from the park run so please be there about 10.20. On Sunday I’m going to make it 09.30 start again so it doesn’t clash with the established club run groups as this will cause confusion so please be there Sunday for 09.20. Both rides will be aprox 14 to 15mph or the pace of the steadiest rider and will be in a group formation taking turns at the front in to the wind, about 2 hrs with cafe stop at the end. I’m unable to attend this weekend but experienced hands Paul Christon and Shaun O’Shea will be there to look after the group. It’s my intention that once established this group will manage itself. Enjoy your ride. Dave k
