20-plus for the ‘clubriders’ group plus 18 ‘easyriders’ meant a good turnout today despite 4〫and murky skies. According to Jonathan leader of the ‘easyriders’ with over 1,000 meters of climbing in just about 50km it was the hardest yet for the new group and yet the smoothest with a solid pack starting to ride as-one like a proper ‘peloton’. There was even a Cav-style lead-out train and sprint for the end of the Railway Path. Coffee at the Chelsea Rd Cafe in Bath seemed well-deserved. Lots of new members and potential members asking about the awesome club kit and where they can send their subs. The answers to those questions are: email club sec and kit-meister Laurie on enquiries@vc-walcot.com to express your interest in kit because he’s planning on placing an order and needs to gauge the support to satisfy minimum-order requirements with our rather spiffy kit supplier in the Czech Republic. As for subs, you can now pay your frankly-paltry £10 subs for the year through to March 31st 2014 ie 14 months for the price of 12. Just download the form over on the right column and email it to Laurie while transferring the dosh to the bank details thereon. Job done and you’ll be member of the cycling club in Bath that gets least punctures.*

*Good luck suing us if this turns out not to be entirely true
