Yes every weds - 6.30pm at the Rosette Public House on Scalby Road, Scarborough.  This is a 2 hour ride and every level of cyclist is welcome. 

The run co ordinator is Andy Browne who you can contact for any more info tel : 07880711376   

Sorry will not be able to make it this evening…I am on nights so I am just going back to bed.  Hope everyone has a good ride.

Staff ill will have to work late this evening…. Sorry all its always a good ride  Wednesday for me… See you all on the Sunday Ride Rex.

Please can we have a volunteer to lead tomorrow Weds (3rd June) evening ride from the Rossette? 

I cannot make it this week? 

Also can anyone do this weeks Sunday morning run?

I will be out riding with Lewis on the the club run, not sure on routes but everything will be ok.

Good ride tonight.  14 riders for the evening road ride with Andy Brown…a mixture of experienced and new riders. 

These club rides are very popular and last week the numbers topped 17 riders!   

my god has brendan turned to a stiff back roadie?

Smiler said:

Nah. Roadies i hear are a bit wierd. I hear they point out pebbles and pot holes.

But on a lighter note……………..I'll be picking a road bike up this week and shall be out on the tarmac(that still dont sound right) enjoying cafes without the mud clagged onto me legs.

Smiler's idea of a road bike isn't the same as ours…. he'll be the one on the 140hp Ducati. Don't let the little bell on the handlebar fool you!

Yes 6.30pm at the Rosette on Scallby road.

Forgive me for being Devil's advocate (I'm not really spoiling for an argument, I've just had an annoying day at work ) but…

People DID wait. And if gaps between riders put people off a lot, there wouldn't be 18 out. I hear what you're saying, and it's valid, but let's keep it in perspective. 

Also, if it was pitch black, the colour of kit is irrelevant. If it's dark, you need lights and reflectives. A yellow jersey won't matter diddly. Light colours can help in dim light but not in actual darkness. (Conversely, on a bright sunny day a black jersey can provide greater contrast. The worst colour is probably 'hedge green' or 'tarmac grey'. )

Well Dan you was not there last night so you can't say that people DID wait, because they didn't until the the gap was massive between front and back.

And the colour of the kit does matter because on the way back through forge valley there was two other people with us wearing dark kit and i could only really see my dad wearing yellow.

The point which I was trying to get over is that if people are going to be out as it is getting dark they should be wearing some kind of light or reflective items, have rear/front lights as stated in the highway code and not hope that there is someone going to be there with a back light to sit at the back of 18+ riders. That is just unsafe.

Thats just what I thought, but i enjoyed the ride last night, maybe as the nights are drawing in it could start half an hour earlier.

This coming Weds 1st Sept will be the last Weds evening ride until Spring 2011.  The usual format is a short ride and drink in the Rosette at the end of the ride. 

Dont forget the last wed night ride tomorrow. Meet the Rosette at 6.30pm for a short ride and a drink in the pub afterwards.  

Me and my dad got to the Rosette just before half past and waited for about 5-10 mins and a lad and his dad turned up and nobody else turned up, so they went home and me and my dad went out on a ride.

There were 9 riders out tonight and we waited until after 6.30pm. 

Yeah Im happy to put my mountain bike lights on and continue riding with a group on a wednesday night. Its a safer alternative to going out on my own and its a good way for me to keep in touch with the riders Ive met this summer. Bring it on
