Rides Resume.

The Summer Supper is nearly upon us, and it may even be to late to book as I write. The rides committee has come up with another interesting program, helped by some significant mile-stones. Ken Nichols celebrates 50 years of cycling in Suffolk with a mystery tour at the end of July. Jim Long has a big birthday coming up 7th September and I am sure his breakfast ride will not be one to miss. Early August we have slotted in breakfast rides to the Bury st Edmunds area. There's a social event (BBQ) at Blaxhall village hall Friday evening 8th Aug.
The Mildenhall cycle rally and camping weekend is the 23rd/24th August and Paul Broom is taking bookings. The 31st of August sees the regular Presidents Picnic, this year at Thorpe-ness. It should be nice by the mere or even on the beach. Last but not least Paul Fenton is organising a hostel weekend to Cambridge and Saffron Walden at the end of September.
On a serious note, now that summer is coming some may be tempted to stretch themselves on a harder ride, and I would ask that if you do and can't keep up, be prepared to go it alone for the sake of not spoiling others enjoyment.
Still on a serious note, many if not all of you will have heard of Ken Saunders and Mick pepper's accidents, unashamedly I am taking this opportunity to ask you to read my piece about safety in this issue. The next Rides committee meeting will be 16th July at my place.
P S Could anyone on Email who does not get email messages about ride changes from me please send me their Email address so I can keep you informed.
