Hi Everyone

This is the first time i have posted anything on a message board. I recently met a couple of the club members at the York cycle weekend at rowntrees park. I have been interested in joining a cycling club for some time and finally the long and boring rides on my own have go to much.

Unfortunatley with my profession i work a lot of weekends and seem to get a lot time off in the week, and the weekend i do have free are spent with the family. I would class myself as more of an intermediate rider, riding anywhere between 40-80 miles depending on terrain but just getting out there and riding is my made interest. So if anyone else has the same problem with unsocial hours then drop me a buzz. :D

Hi Rob

Before the school holidays a number of us used to go out on a Tuesday morning for a few hours. Not sure how many wil be able to restart this once schools restart but if this does start again you'd be more than welcome!

Over the autumn/winter there is also a Wednesday weekly training ride at 6:30 in the evening for 25-30 miles approx. Not sure when these will begin though.

8th looking OK at the moment.

Are we still aiming for 9:30ish at the Square, brief cafe stop and 2:30 back to York?

9.30am at the square sounds good, I can make it for any time after 8.30?
Really looking forward to Tuesdays again. :D

I have a massage at 0930, but if you tell me where your going I'll go on intercept mode.

Timing is an issue - I suppose it depends on whether the ride is going to be a regular one as it became before. If we start at the same time every week it is easier to manage and also to recommend/promote. On the other hand it means less flexibility.

I think I can reasonably make it 2 weeks out of 3 for the foreseeable future and maybe 3 out of 4. I'd guess that 9:30 might be easier for some people than earlier although it does restrict the time (and therefore distance) we have available.

Can others post on their ideas/preferences?

EDIT: I'm going to start a separate thread to make this more visible
