New bikes, new members and no wind for a change
Submitted by Sarah Davies on 29 January 2012 - 2:47pmIt was cold and grey, but 7 of us turned up this morning for the Clock Tower run. David and myself both a year older than this time last week. It was great to see new member Liz again - we didn't put her off with the faster ride back at the beginning of the month! Mike was back again after his chain and gears so spectacularly broke, but although that bike is fixed, he was sporting a lovely new black carbon Canyon. I was back on the old bike this week - the weather needs to look a bit better to get the Pinarello out again!
We now have a Photo Library
Submitted by Paul Richardson on 26 January 2012 - 11:49pmAfter much delay, I have finally got my act together and created a module that can integrate the photo sets that I have been posting to Flickr over the years with the MDCC website.
You can find a link in the main menu on the left, or click here.
I have just added sets for this year's Annual Dinner and also the ones from last year and 2009.
22nd Jan 2012 windy with a number of sprints.
Submitted by Andrew Payne on 22 January 2012 - 6:23pmBefore setting off on todays ride the group had a discussion about BB30 bottom brackets and the fitting of oval chainrings to a compact SRM. All very technical and only of direct interest to a couple of the group.
Clock tower run 15th Jan
Submitted by Sarah Davies on 16 January 2012 - 7:21pmApart from me, it was a completely different turn out this week - nice to see Lewis back, but we missed Malcolm. As it was somehow decided that I was leading the run, as there was no-one from last week I decided we could do the same route as no-one would notice!
Bird Hills ride 15/1/12 - a cold day and green lights
Submitted by Andrew Payne on 15 January 2012 - 7:18pmOn a frosty cold day 9 riders braved the conditions for a brisk ride. Before setting off a discussion took place about the conditions with the general view that due to the lack of rain, recent gritting of roads, that if we kept off small lanes we should be ok. Without much debate everyone appeared happy with the standard Pishill route.
Bird Hills club ride - 8th Jan 2012
Submitted by Andrew Payne on 8 January 2012 - 7:40pmWith no one reporting time pressures today and Simon G not with us the group set off heading towards Bray to meet Simon on route. Others in the group consisted of Danuta and Robert, Callum, Mike, a returning Chris Stocks and new guys Neil (an ex cat 1 racer) and Sam (getting ready for the Swiss Iron man in July, he’d recently completed a 30mile run - yes run and not bike ride!).
8th Jan Clock Tower Run
Submitted by Sarah Davies on 8 January 2012 - 2:40pmQuite a fast one for the Clock Tower run this morning - and I have to say Liz, our newest member, did an amazing job keeping up.
