STC wedding bells:  many congratulations to club member Beth Doling and her fiance Peter Ingason who are getting married on Saturday 13th February.  We wish you both all the very best and hope the day is as perfect as you would wish for.

Club ride this Sunday 7th Feb. This is a repeat of last week's cancelled ride,  starting from Otterbourne and this week it will be at 0915. Dave Ardley is leading the ride in my absence. The route this week is slightly hilly, and is 31 miles.  We will be heading anticlockwise on the route attached.  There is the option of cutting off down the road towards Romsey when we get to Kings Somborne, saving a few miles. The meeting point is HERE at Otterbourne Village Hall (SO21 2ET)

Interactive map of route (anticlockwise) CLICK HERE , or for a PDF of the route CLICK HERE 

As before our aim is to ensure that no-one is left behind.  If you have any concerns about your fitness/cycling ability contact Julian to see how we can help you!  You may wish to print out the map in case you decide to slope off early and make your own way back

The route planned is 31.5 miles and should be around 2hrs or a little longer.  Our intention is that you can have a fun/challenging ride and still have time for your family/friends/running/swimming!

If the ride needs to be cancelled for any reason Dave will post this on the club website on Sunday morning
