A record 12 riders made it in for this evening's turbo and we welcomed Chris to the group. Kath joined us for her first virtual turbo of the season (until the technical gremlins took her away again!). An excellent workout, spoilt only by NUFC's failure to get a point at Sheffield Utd (I was concentrating honest!). See you all again next week I hope

We've done lots of hills recently, so it was time for some cadence training with 'The Flying Shorties'. It got hot . The quiz almost made us forget the pain, though kudos to Jan for still being able to write notes whilst pedalling at 100 rpm Lisa, you know your Monopoly board .

Total fitness for mind and body! This week's winner was Jan, and only one point behind her, Lisa. (Total riders 12, Chris Lawrence too)

Virtual Pub Night

Leader: Steve Swanton	Start Time: 8:00 pm	Start Location: Online
Description: The return of the Virtual Pub Night is here While lockdown-3 continues and we are unable to ride as a group, a chance to meet online for a convivial chat. The plan is to have a themed evening on alternate weeks, starting next week - so please keep an eye on the website or group Facebook page for further details. Please BYOB...
Riders: Brian Hipwell Carin Tranter David Bridge David Jackson Des Higgs Gareth Smith Jan McCabe John Tranter Katherine Boyce Lorna Swanton Nick Portsmouth Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Steve Swanton Susan Holdroyd Val Smith Riders = 16 Report: Lovely to see so many on our first club social of Lockdown 3.0. A very enjoyable discussion (despite a brief interruption by a Zoom bomber) and a few us had a lot of fun playing around with Zoom backgrounds and masks before we finally called it a day. During the evening we hatched the idea of having a "Snowdrop Ride" challenge over the next few weeks - details to come on the Rides and Events page and Facebook shortly. A few riders also shared their recent impressions of the state of the Icknield Greenway route from Ardington to Harwell, which has now been officially opened. Although there have been some significant improvements, the jury is still out, it seems. HarBUG are collecting feedback to pass back to the County Council, so if you have cycled that way since the New Year do pass thoughts back to HarBUG or through John T. See you same time next week for an online quiz.
