Committee meeting: Wed 2nd July 7.30pm at Hereford Rowing Club. All members welcome.

Note: E = elevenses L = lunch T = tea (See Audax UK handbook for Audax info.)

We are pleased to extend a warm welcome to the following new members: Ben Adcocks, Benjamin Andrews, Simon Bremner, Paul Brooks, Peter Crowther, John Duggan, Paul Evans, Nicola Goodwin, Nigel Holden, Ewan Holland, Debbie Meredith, James Mills, Les Morris, Paul Morris, Bryn North, Emily Palmer, Jason Palmer and Mark Watkins. The committee is also pleased to announce that our former president Adrian Pudsey has agreed to become an Honorary Life Member of the club.

A big thank you is due to all those keen members who came along to help with this year's “Come-and-Try-It” time trial at Allensmore, making it a success one again. 58 keen riders all got round within the hour, nearly half taking under 35 minutes. Many enjoyed the experience so much that they promptly joined the club so that they could take part in the rest of the season's events. Fastest overall was Kevin May (25min 52sec), fastest novice was Ewan Holland (29min 18sec), best lady was Sharon Colley (30min 11sec), youngest was James Hudson, 14 (30min 13sec) and the oldest was our own David Newman, 82 (53min 44sec).

On Sunday 27th July there will be a 30~45 mile afternoon touring run for those who might like a more relaxed, sociable ride, but who don't want to start out in the morning or ride all day.

Do you have family members, friends, colleagues or neighbours who, although not particularly interested in club or competitive cycling, are nevertheless attracted by the convenience and health benefits using a bicycle, perhaps just for local journeys or around town? Do they lack the confidence to just go for it? Are they deterred by traffic or their lack of recent cycling experience? Two bits of good news for them! Herefordshire Council offers professional one-to-one adult cycle training with experienced CTC instructors (male and female) and secondly, for a limited period, this is free!
