– I can’t stress enough the importance of staying inside the yellow line we received e-mails from unhappy motorists please wear you’re club kit on our Saturday rides so motorists can see we a cycling club who adhere to the rules of the road not a bunch of hooligans wearing different coloured jerseys with a flagrant disregard to the rules of the road
– Steven Wood is still recovering in hospital and we hope his soon home with his family
