Hi $FIRSTNAME$
Here's your weekly roundup of news from the club.
- Note for your diary: The next club meeting will be on Monday 4th, 7pm at the The Rising Sun, Windmill Hill. You can bring your bike inside. All welcome.
- No Way! Might not mean a lot to you if you're under 40 and strictly road-orientated, but untick both those boxes and you'll probably remember Hans 'No Way' Rey. He's coming to Bristol's Redgrave Theatre on Friday 29 March, where he will present a talk about everything that goes wrong on big mountain bike adventures. Dates and venues can be found here.
- Audaxing: Well done to our Audax riders who braved the mucky flooded lanes to complete the Goats Head Soup Century Ride: Esther Ive, Russell Day and Tim Woodhead, and the Mendip Flop: Mathew Jones. Sorry if I've missed you, I use the Strava club to find people.
- Feedback: We saw this video from Francis Cade this week, and wondered what thoughts it prompted for you?
- New members: A big #upthesouth welcome to Alan Ward, Matthew James and James Roberson.
