Weekly Chat Wednesday 27th November 2013

I thought it would be a good idea to try and keep everyone in the loop by letting you know what's just been discussed at the weekly chat. These are very informal affairs over a cuppa lasting around an hour and are open to everyone.

• Saturday's ride will include a coffee stop at Riffs Bar, Greatfield, near Wootton Bassett, which incorporates an independent coffee shop.

• How best to manage two groups on the Saturday morning rides. (A formula which meets everyone's individual requirements must be found).

• Tim H is keen to organise a 100 mile MCCC cycle ride for next Summer. The trip will include the Avonmouth Bridge and refreshments at Tim's Mother's house in Portishead. It might be possible to incorporate parts of the Avon Cycleway which follows a similar route. http://avoncycleway.info/

• The possibility of holding one or more closed MCCC time trials in 2014. This would of course depend very much on the level of interest from members. (Although we're only a small club, my personal feeling is that establishing our own records is an important step in the long term development of the club).

• MCCC membership cards. There are plans to negotiate discount for members with local cycling/fitness related businesses. These will require the production of a membership card. The design now needs to be printed.
