Don’t worry if you don’t know the way; choose somewhere else instead.  I’m sure the Blue Bell won’t mind.

A cold night with the threat of further downpours, so course shortened to one lap rather than the traditional two.

Many thanks to: Alan Hillier – timekeeper. Paul Morrissey – ‘pusher’, and John Day, Malcolm Freeman, Marion Freeman, Penny Morrison, Pip Jones, Margaret and Bob Lambert, Lisa Morrissey and sacrificing a sub-20 minute lap, Alasdair MacVarish.

Marshalls for next week are Andy Colsell, Dan Strange, Andy Bland and Carlos Escorcio.

Overall Points

Each week there will be a Latest News item on the front page of the website letting people know where the club run is going and giving an approximate route.

All are welcome to ride with us.  If you are not a member, but would like to ride with us regularly, we will ask you to join the club.

Clun runs are social affairs, though to get the most out of them you should be reasonably fit and capable of riding 50+ miles.

Rides are usually about 50 to 60 miles with a café stop, though some rides are over 70 miles.  The average speed is 15 to 17mph (24 to 27kph).

We ride as a close group, two abreast where it’s safe.  We regroup at the tops of hills, or if the bunch gets broken up for any reason.  No one gets left behind.  They are a great way to learn how to ride in a bunch.

If you are a member, please wear your club kit – it looks great.

For more details contact the Club Captain, Andrew Mullis, on 01494 452289.

There are easier rides for beginners that are based on Thame.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to ask permission to join your rides?

No, just turn up, introduce yourself and ride.

Is there more than one group on a Sunday?

Sometimes there are enough riders for us to split into a ‘training’ group and a ‘café’ group.

Is there anywhere to park if I drive to the Guildhall?

There is free parking in the High Street on Sundays.

Do I have to use a road bike?

We would strongly recommend that you do and that it’s in good working order.

Do I have to have mud guards in bad weather?

We don’t insist on it, though the rider behind you might.

Do I need insurance?

You should accept responsibility for your own conduct and safety (including the safety of your bicycle and other equipment) during Club activities.  You take part in Club rides entirely at your own risk.  We strongly recommend that you take out third party insurance for your own sake.  Membership of British Cycling or the CTC can offer you this form of cover and you’re supporting cycling in this country too.

What equipment do I need to bring?

Bring two inner tubes and patches, a pump, some money, a phone, food and drink.

It’s a short, 4mile, time-trial followed by a tough 70mile road race. With the weather forecast improving, come and support the chaps.

Thanks to Steve Golla, Rob Barrett and the timekeepers, Brian and Alan.

Three laps for most.

Standards used for all riders except Pip was 18miles. As Pip did two laps, I used the 12mile standard.
Note that Standards assume a flat course, so no surprise that no-one beat standard!

Overall Points

Marshals for Sunday 6^th are Malcolm & Marion Freeman, Jo Gundle, Margaret Lambert and Alasdair MacVarish.

For Tuesday 8^th. Steve Golla, John Day, Andrew Colsell and Malcolm Binns.

Many Thanks to John Francis ( signing on ) , Rob Barrett, John Ewans, Carlos Escorcio, Alan Hillier and Brian Murphy

5th May – Two corrections to times : Dena Ford (30:15) and Jacky Harding (30:19), both were recorded incorrectly as short 31′s. Apologies.
