Royal Oak

On the 21st December 2015 the annual AGM meeting was held at the Royal Oak pub in Beverley. There were many topics discussed with some questions raised of which to focus on for this year.

A message from our Club Chairman Neil Gregory:

‘Hope you are all well and managing to get out on your bikes. Just thought I’d put out an update after the AGM.

For those who have ordered the new kit, by now you should have your SS tops and Bib shorts, the LS tops should be with me in 4 weeks. When they arrive I’ll arrange to get them to you, and let you know how much you owe, sorry it’s taken so long.

The Slack App seems to be working well, if anyone hasn’t uploaded it yet, please speak to Andy for all of the Techy info?

The Christmas party and live band has been booked. If you want to stay at the Cave Castle Hotel on the night, I’ve arranged a special rate of £70 B&B for a room for 2. Please phone the Hotel and say you’re with the ‘Cycling party’ and reserve your room?

A trip abroad has been arranged and 7 Knights are off to Annecy in France for a week in June.’

If there are any questions regarding the minutes and any questions raised please contact one of the Committee via club email or slack, details are shown below:

James Gilbert – Treasurer

Neil Gregory – Chairman

Andrew Smith – Secretary

Brett Waterhouse – Web Editor (and all round nice guy).

Ok, so it wasn’t quite the longest day of the year but that didn’t stop people from the Beverley Cycling club the knights turning out for the annual Summer Solstice ride. The weather had been on and off all day with it threatening to rain however when the clock got to 6.30pm and the Knights began to congregate at Market Square the sun came out and a beautiful British summer evening emerged.

Attendance was high with 22 riders turning up to join in on the leisurely jaunt to Hornsea sea front and back. A nice flat ride with a decent average speed (my Strava said 18.2mph) the conditions were perfect as we took in some of the gorgeous scenery this part of the country can offer. We really are lucky to live where we live and the abundance of country lanes in the area are just asking to be ridden by any keen cyclist.

Forty miles later and we were back at the pub met by partners and some funny looks from the locals (not you Mike) there was curry and chilli on offer and of course plenty of ale for everyone. But the star of the show had to be the complimentary cheese board at the end!

Many thanks to the staff at the Royal Oak not only for accommodating a load of sweaty cyclists in lycra but for the great food and full stomachs!

Now, I’m sure there is a cycling event starting next week?? Allez!
