This weekend's club runs

Last weekend loads of members tweeted about their Sunday runs, this weekend why not head over to the Cross in Linlithgow for 9.00am and ride with your club mates?

Before setting off on a club run please read our ride guidelines:

And information on how to ride in a group:

Club Captain Neil Greer sends in the details for this weekeknd's rides:

The forecast is currently showing: Clear, 11C, but with a very strong SW of 28 mph, gusting to 53 mph.
This is, IMO, verging on the very dangerous, so all riders should watch the latest forecasts closely and be prepared to abandon riding if there is no improvement in these conditions.

Crosswinds can be particularly hazardous at these wind speeds and the last thing we need is a group pile up.

There will always be another day to get out with your fellow riders and those turbos would no doubt welcome another session too!

Please, let's all take sensible, informed decisions this week-end.

I am as keen as the next person to get out this w/e, but trust you agree with my take on the weather…

If there is a vast improvement, I shall be out, but not if it stays as forecast….
