2008

So whats in store for 2008, have you guys been working on the 2008 Calendar with some new and exciting Cyclone rides Are we going to get an update to the web site with the George in place of the Swan and will we get our 100th member in 2008

Hey Graham,

Great to see you and Jennifer at the party although I didn't get a chance to speak to you.

I have put forward a couple of suggestions for next year to ride in the Lake District and the Brecon Beacons. Rob (Filthy Habit) or Imperial Rob as his new Non de Plume seems to be has a mate who lives up there and would probably be happy to show us around or I've got a really good guide book with 22 rides in.

The Brecon Beacons has 16 different trails to ride and they're graded like ski-ing, so Green, Blue, Red , Black etc and its one of the few trails I haven't ridden with the club.

I'd like to visit the lakes


Ive ridden the Gap at Brecon. Ive got the route maps for all the other routes "somewhere" as well I know I bought one anyway.

When are we going to Scotland? I want a re-match with the slab and innerleithan as well

I'm thinking that the August bank hole trip should be either to the lakes or the Brecons. I've got a mate who rides up there-Garbon Pass needs to be riden to be believed! The other option is to hire a guide-I know a good guide company up there. As its a fair trek away, I'll plan for Fri-Tues.

Details of the 2008 Merida's are out now for those interested, although the dates may need to be checked!

after spending most of 2007 either with a major illness or with ligament damage to my knee. i will be working on my fitness to come and ride with you guys and not be wheezing around at the back of the pack. plus ive just ordered my self a new scott reflex.
