Sunday 18 June: East Finchley Festival

We will have a stall at the East Finchley Festival on Sunday 18th June. We will have a cycle jumble box at the stall, like the one we have at meetings though on a bigger scale. If have any cycle jumble, ideally bring it along to the festival yourself. If you are not able to come to the festival but have some cycle jumble you want to contribute, please contact me on 020 8455 5174 / 07961 194 771 or  charles.harvey@hotmail.co.uk and I should be able to collect it.

RIDE: Sunday 11 June Harpsfield circular

A loop from The Spires, Barnet, up to Hatfield for brunch, along the Alban Way, and back to Barnet via the ice cream cafe.

Meet 9:15 to leave 9:30 by the bandstand outside Waitrose, The Spires, Barnet, postcode EN5 5XY.

A 33 mile route via Shenley taking some of our favourite country lanes, with brunch at Harpsfield Hall, Hatfield, followed by a wander along the Alban Way, then a tea stop at the ice cream farm in Galley Lane, Barnet, where the ride will finish around 14:30 (optional mile back to the Spires).

The route is a mixture of quiet roads, well surfaced off road paths, and some busier road sections. This is an intermediate ride, suitable for those who cycle regularly who are used to hills and mixing with traffic as there are some busy roads. Moderate pace c.10 mph. Your bike should be in good working order, please check it before the ride and bring tools and tubes in case of punctures.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Ride led by John Edwards.

NB: We can only take riders over 18 years old on this ride.

BARNET CYCLISTS beat inflation again!

Yes that’s right, despite prices rising everywhere Barnet Cyclists are still offering you cycling enjoyment for the same amount as last year and the years before that.

So for a suggested contribution of as little as £4 if you are a full LCC member or £10 if you are not you can be assisting us in campaigning for better cycling provision in Barnet. Plus access to a year of led rides and monthly cycling related meetings. What joy is in store for such a paltry sum.

Please try and pay by direct bank transfer:

The account name is : London Cycling Campaign Barnet Branch (NOT just Barnet Cyclists)

Sort code:  60 83 01       account number: 20225687 – with your name as the reference.

I look forward to seeing our coffers bulging with your donations. So put it on your to do list, otherwise like me you will probably forget.

Many thanks, peter R. group treasurer.
