A pretty spot on observation from Billy. There are currently many different small groups of people riding different bikes at different times. As club members we really should be be trying to ride together as much as possible. In the past the planned diary of club runs and events have defined what you needed to do as an active club member but that model is not getting participation and we are now looking for a new way to do things. As time is progressing on this matter I will put up a provisional diary based on what we would normally have done, a starting point from where we can work from. Quickly following on the next task is to decide what we should keep and what we should change out with. Darryl has proposed a working group for discussing this and the invite is still open to everyone. Widespread contribution is vital, we all want to ride our bikes as club members, what would get us doing it together? This may also involve doing it over a video conference call that I have zero knowledge of setting up! I would rather bribe/encourage everyone with a drink at Amaretto.

You know the problem is the club is made up of loads of different groups ( not a bad thing ) which all go out in their own separate groups and currently Traditional Sunday Club Runs and Time Trials are not really that important to the current membership . Maybe we should deliver something different and bin testing maybe do Timed Gravel Rides ( not races) would save the committee some time and stop trying to get a non racing club racing . At the moment we have one racing track , maybe one racing road and at best 2 doing time trials , we have more riding gravel than riders racing . So maybe we should focus our time getting all the bunches back out on a Sunday , jus a thought
