NOW CANCELLED
Our dear friend and fellow club member Colin Birch very sadly passed away on the 10th of January after a very brave fight against cancer, and this Sunday we are having a rideout in his honour.
We will be riding to Wells, which is where Colin lived, and we'll be parking up in the Square around midday for a spot of lunch and raise a glass in Colin's memory.
MEET UP AT THE ARNOLFINI
THIS SUNDAY 10TH AUGUST
AT 10:30AM FOR 11:00 DEPARTURE
TO RIDE TO WELLS TO REMEMBER COLIN
You can of course, ride direct to Wells and meet up with us there.
Colin was such a keen supporter of this club, so please try and attend this ride to commemorate a really great guy.
Thank - you.
NOW CANCELLED

Going by the weather forecast, Sunday is not looking too good, with things like an "ex hurricane" hanging around the UK! I know these forecasts can sometimes be a bit inaccurate and somewhat exaggerated, but high winds and heavy rain don't really make for a good rideout!
We are not actually cancelling Sunday's proposed ride, as you never know, it might turn out to be dry and sunny! But it will be down to each man on Sunday morning whether to get the scoot out and ride to the Arnolfini, and then decide with whoever turns up if the ride to Wells is to continue, or give this one a miss! I guess it largely depends on what the weather is doing around 11:00am!
So, with this in mind, and the weather turns out as bad as they say it's going to be and not many (if any) turn up, we will definitely give this ride another go in September!
Let's see what happens on Sunday morning!
Good luck!

Apparently there`s a 60% chance that the UK will get the tail end of `Hurricane Bertha` currently heading across the atlantic. Fierce winds and torrential rain is forecast here Sunday morning.
There is a chance that the storm will veer off course and miss Britain completely!
However, the Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for most of England & Wales, warning of `volatile` conditions
I think postponing this ride until September is probably a good shout Jim

CANCELLED
WE WILL RESCHEDULE THIS RIDE

I'm not very keen on cancelling rides, but going by the weather warnings, I think on this occasion it is the best thing to do!
