EDITORIAL We’ve seen another busy season, with the dry weather encouraging good attendances on club rides, sport rides, chain gangs and evening time trials. The only disappointing turn out was a small field for the Club’s open time trial, though this was compensated by full fields in the road races. Speaking of these, we’ll be looking for fresh organizers next year. Volunteers will be welcomed and supported so please think about putting your name forward at the AGM on October 2nd. Alas, not all our events have passed without incident. Some unlucky members have even experienced hospital visits and broken bones. We wish them all full and speedy recoveries. As the weather deteriorates and the road conditions worsen (see right) let’s all remember to keep eyes open for hazards, indicating or calling them for the riders behind, and to keep a sensible distance from our fellow riders.
