Cambridge University Cycling Club - comic 2
Welcome to the second edition of this occasional information loaded newsletter. Sorry if you didn't get the first one, but working out who and where everyone is takes a bit of sorting. Hopefully everyone is reading this.
The term has gone well so far, with the new members settling in, and the regulars continuing as normal. With at least four official club rides a week to choose from, there seems to be enough to suit everybody, from the muddy emteebee'ers to the serious roadies. And the touring rides, with some much needed proper organisation this term from Edward Lipman, are proving to be one of the most popular events.
WOMEN'S CYCLING
Helen Clark has kindly offered to start some women's cycling activities to try and encourage more participation in what is a quite male dominated sport. The first event is a ride this Sunday (17 Nov), leaving Brookside at 1pm. There is also a meeting organised for seeing what the interest is like - this will be on Tuesday 27 November, 7.30pm at Wolfson - directions will be at the porters lodge.
FULL BLUE MIKE
I am delighted to announce that Mike Hutchinson has been awarded a Full Blue for cycling. This discreionary award was made due to outstanding acheivement in time triallling this season. Well done!
TOURING RIDES
Tuesday/Thursday rides leave 1:30pm from Brookside until further notice. Average speed 16-17mph, about 40 miles, lights necessary.
Sunday: 9:30am Brookside, either a straight loop or ride out and return by train. Lights recommended in either case. Pace slower, distance longer - more relaxed than Tuesday/Thursday.
Watch the list, or contact Edward Lipman for details (ewjl2@cam.ac.uk or 339780).
