Enjoy a hearty breakfast, put the Archers omnibus on the radio, get out your biggest bowls and you are ready for Stir Up Sunday. A few hours later you have embryonic Christmas pud or cake or both. You can then settle down for an early viewing of It’s A Wonderful Life. Festive season started. Or you can get your bike togs on and log a few miles on a dank November day.

We held our Annual General Meeting at Allenburys last Sunday. Marcia produced an excellent presentation showing the highlights of the club's year. You can view it here.

After last weeks postponement in the face of a dire (and mostly inaccurate) weather forecast the Wheelers' hill climbers re-convened at Digswell. The weather was not very encouraging but, fortunately, there was next to no rain during the event. Gareth put everyone else in the shade with a time that bettered his 2017 effort by 2 seconds and equaling Karl Willis's 2014 time on the same course. Next came Barry, who had only come to spectate, but produced a very creditable time on his utility bike.

Category 6 ride led by Tony Dos Santos

What a beautiful day! 14 riders turned up; I was terrified! Lovely to see Franco. 

We had a great first half of the ride. Everyone was brimming with confidence and vitality. Then, Mick “the chain” Gornall, the inevitable happened - yes his chain came off! 

Mark taught me about the gravitational pull of the moon and earth. 

Up to Thremhall Park Cafe, and no incidents.
