MEETING REMINDER

Thursday 25th April

Monthly Meeting: AGM followed by talk on the ‘M25 Ride’

The AGM should be relatively swift and painless – once you have volunteered to help! See notice elsewhere in the newsletter. After the coffee break we will have an illustrated talk from Doug Nevell about his cycle route that mirrors the M25 round London. Doug has led groups on this ride several times, including one from Barnet Cyclists, and without cycling on the hard shoulder! All welcome.

Meet: 8pm Carey Hall, Trinity Church Centre, Nether Street, North Finchley N12

EXTRA RIDE: Sunday 31st March – To Hertford

Celebrate the leap forward into spring (remember the clocks go forward this weekend) with an extra ride in the programme. The pace won’t be super-fast but it will be reasonable and there will be hills (so not one for beginners). Back in Barnet early afternoon.

Meet: 9.30am outside Waitrose, The Spires, Barnet – Stapylton Road entrance, by the bandstand

Ride leader: Ray Thorn
