| Starting the rides from the Stockgrove Cafe
Everyone agreed it would be good to start riding from the Stockgrove Café. There are pros and cons to this suggestion:
Pros: We get to start from a café every ride. Start with some breakfast and finish with a brew. Idea is to make the rides more sociable once we have finished. There are some great (legal) trails we rarely ride over in the Stockgrove area Could possibly get a bike wash up and running (hose pipe) More secure parking (its free, but donations accepted) Meet up with other riders (Woburn Crankers Club ride from the café)
Cons: It will eliminate a 10:00 and 11:00 start, as to loop back after starting from the café would be difficult. It’s a 15 min / 20 min ride to the top of the golf course hill.
Everyone agreed it would be good to at least trial the Stockgrove Café ride. Maybe start by riding one Sunday a month from the café. This could be the Sunday after the Club Night, at least we can remind the members we see.
Also, I was thinking about adding a calendar / date reminder on the front page of the website or on the forum. This way people can quickly see where we are riding from on the coming Sunday. Also I can email / text people the week leading up to the café start, informing them of the format. This is a suggestion, so open to discussion.
What do we think about the idea? _________________ Ride it like you've stolen it......... Litespeed Niota |
