0 Comments

 
The design for the Rocko Retro shirt is in - some small tweaks to logos, wording are likely but here's the basic design.
13 so far are interested.  If we get a few more then the Jersey prices would be 
  • Matrix £32 plus vat
  • Bodyfit £39 plus vat
  • Race proven bodyfit £42 plus vat.
  • Race proven mesh £46 plus vat. (This is a summer top for really hot days like the pros use.)

Last Saturday I rode the Tin Can 10  time trial (10.4 miles ); I only came 5th  (31.53), while the winner did a 28 minute.
I was thinking that next year more riders could enter from the Rocko ?? 
Have You got a hub geared bike?  Any type will do - Shopper, Brompton , Hetchins even a Chopper!  As long as the gears are in the HUB  (Sturmley Archer etc.) 
You have about a year to source one out; check out  http://www.bikejumbles.co.uk/tincanten/index.html
Let me know if your interested, next years event is July 7th 2018.  Just turn up on the day  -  entry £3, free teas /cakes  (donations).
It's a nice afternoon out  
Regards John Dainty

Rockingham Primary School

24/6/2017

0 Comments

 
We helped Rockingham Primary School run their Big Bike Day event today (24-June).  They are developing interest in cycling in their children, and this event challenged them to ride as many laps of a 1 km course we had laid in West Glebe Park.  There were almost 30 who accepted the challenge, and rode/scooted or even ran around the loop.  A number managed lap counts in double figures, which was pretty good going for the age group!

Thanks to the members who helped; Arthur, David H, Eileen, Johnny, Julian, Nathan, Norman N, Paul B and Paul F.  We hope to continue this relationship with the school, and a couple more in the area to enable us to build a youth group over the coming 12 months.

We now have Wi-Fi at the Clubhouse

3/3/2017

0 Comments

 
The club now has broadband with wi-fi.  The wi-fi id is PLUSNET-79T6 and the password is peloton17.  

Any 'early adopters' who already linked with the password provided by PlusNet will have to get their phones to forget the network and rejoin with the new password.

We'll try and change the clubhouse closure procedure to keep the network on so it can be available before a club ride without having to enter the clubhouse and power up the hub.
