MEETING REMINDER: Thursday 25th October – How do we get bums on saddles?
After the normal ‘business’ meeting to catch up on what has been happening, we want to discuss how we, as a group and as individuals, get others cycling. We will start with Veronica from the ‘Breeze’ initiative who is looking to increase the participation of women in cycling – may with some help from our group. We want to consider what are the barriers to getting our own friends and family out on a bike – and what practical things we can do to help. What advice can we offer on the website, on leaflets? What resources are available? Should we run a programme of ‘beginners’ rides? Lots of questions – come along and help provide the answers.
All welcome.
Meet: 8pm Carey Hall, Trinity Church, 15 Nether Street, North Finchley N12 7NN
RIDE REMINDER Sunday 21st October: Autumn Leaves
Last ride before the clocks ‘fall back’ so make the most of it with a little tootle about the lanes. Enjoy the fresher days and a bit of autumn colour – in both the trees and your cheeks! Two routes of differing length will be on offer in the morning – but we will lunch together at The Chequers, Potters Bar. There will be a tea stop in the afternoon – possibly at Shenley Orchard as it is Apple Day.
