The Endura kit is good stuff and Im sure all CCA members would not wish to change supplier at this stage. The minimum of three garments rule is just too unrealistic for Mark to work in a club of our size (and I would suggest any other similar size …
-
As if poor Mark's job isn't difficult enough ... sounds as though Endura have gone and appointed a new Sales Prevention Manager!
-
Thanks Geoff, I've now whispered both responders with the same draft and details. Good luck guys - hope you find something...!

I know a guy in Potters Bar that has a 21.5 George Longstaff for sale, which he had made for himself late 80s early 90s. Complete bike, down tube shifters, Stronglight Chainset, original 2 colour paint. £400.00 last I heard. I may also know of a guy…

Once again, well done Martin - good choice of sound track too..!
-
If only I had realised Paul I would have been pleased to have had a post ride pint and debrief. When we arrived at KL, I just thought everyone was piling for the train home. I'll know for next time hey...
-
Hats off to you guys that did the Ashwell - Wells - Ashwell 191...!
-
The 123 to Wells next the sea! Particular thanks to Martin and others for bringing this ride together - it must have been like trying to herd cats at times. Thanks also to your other callers and navigators who helped make it all so easy for the ma…

Emma and Susan did a sterling job on the front of this ride and we definitely crossed over the two bridges. Thanks also to Emma and Gary with his penknife for your support with my puncture.

Mercian = Morgan may be....?

Excellent ride David and many thanks from us all once again. We liked the new building and the tea, cake and biscuits - it was just what we all needed after all those hills.
-
I would really like to do this one - seems like it's become a CCA classic - but it would have to be at a tad steadier pace (16s) and probably arriving at Wells for the second sitting of Fish & Peas (Martin L says no chips)! Anyone else around i…
-
Well done David another excellent ride, route and company in every way. Following taking the morning off Emma, just make sure you ride the TT tomorrow....whatever the weather!
-
Okay then Kevin, I'm not going to Graffam Water now and will be on this ride. We'll scoop you up on our way through Barrington around 10.00am. If you ride from Barrington towards Shepreth-Meldreth-Melbourn-Kneesworth, you should meet us 'somewhere'…
-
I'm sure you will be made very welcome Kevin. We normally start arriving at The Three Tuns from about 9.15am ready for the 9.30am off.
-
We haven't seen you for ages - as long as there is no rain forecast, I'll be happy to join you Paul. We could meet outside your place.
-
I also did this wheel building workshop with David Green in Cambridge several years ago and found it to be very good indeed.
-
Thanks everyone for your support and comments - I enjoyed our ride too, particularly on that nice road surface! Andrew R & Holly, I was pleased to learn you were able to get down there again Sunday to continue with the route. Did you stay with t…
-
Thanks Andrew R & BobS - we'll meet you up at Great Chishill at 9.50 am and Bob S at 9.30am Royston Heath. They were busy fixing the pot holes in Saffron Walden earlier this week and according to another sign that I noticed when I was over ther…
-
Oh yes...I can confirm that the ride is definitely on for Saturday (as is the normal 9.30 am club ride). Is someone prepared to navigate from Ashwell to Royston? If so times are as follows: 9.00 am Tuns Ashwell 9.30 am Royston Heath 9.50 am Great …
-
Hi Susan, Thank you for your interest in this ride. Yes, you can join at Royston Heath Sporting Club (free parking) which is where I will be joining the ride from at 9.30 am. For anyone else out this way, we will also have a joining point at Grea…

4 of us followed Tim's route but chopped off the Barley dog leg and this got us back on about 36.5 miles. A good sprint down to the A505. Hope to see you riding with us again Vernon. Thank you for your note to Mr. C C A Chairman - it sound as though …
-
Good luck with your Hilly Sunday 100 David. I can also come up with a second group steady pace ride for those that wish... Looks like it's going to be a no rain day too.
-
Peter, There is at least one ride (possibly two) that go out every Saturday morning at 9.30am
-
Thanks Shaun for the heads up on this one - my son has booked 2 seats for us both on Monday afternoon. I'm using the Trumpington P & R
-
Susan & Olly, I just want to say how sorry I am for you both to lean of this..
-
Well done on the timings and the ride David and well done you photographers. A good buzz around Baldock High Street eh? Nice beer and I hope you liked the lunch. Hope you got home okay Nathan with your wobbly wheel and broken spoke. The only one w…
-
Oh good call David....thanks...
-
Gilgamesh, I would certainly agree with all your suggestions. Mark and I rode with him to Newport, where we tried to persuade to catch the train to Cambridge. (Change at Cambridge for Ashwell or Baldock etc.) This would have been a very easy escape …
