Winter 24/25 Socials

This year’s social programme is a busy one. We have lots organised with more to come. Put the dates in your diary!

Tuesday, November 12th, 7.30 pm at the Lescar, Sharrow Vale Road
Professional cycling photographer Joolze Dymond will talk to us about the stories behind her career as a photographer and the striking images she will share with us. She’ll also judge our annual photography competition. Watch out for the details of how to enter your pictures. 

Sunday, December 15th, 1.30 pm at the Broadfield on Abbeydale Road.
Xmas meal, £30 for three courses. Booking details and rides coming soon.

Tuesday, January 14th, 7.30 pm at the Lescar, Sharrow Vale Road
Mark Beckles-Willson (Heike’s partner) will talk to us about their off-the-beaten-track tour of the Rhine Massif last summer.

Wednesday, February 5th, 7.30 pm at the Riverside Kelham, Mowbray Street
An innovation for this year – an open mic night! We’ve all got tales to tell from our cycling adventures but preparing a talk for a big crowd is not for everyone. So, at this event you can tell us about something you’ve done with as little as one picture and as short a talk as you like – but no longer than ten minutes. So, there’ll be lots of variety and everyone will be in the same boat, but of course with a very supportive audience. 

Tuesday, February 25th, 7.30 pm at the Lescar, Sharrow Vale Road
Paul Wilson will talk to us about the annual escape for some winter sun in Denia, on the east coast of Spain. And as a bonus, he’ll teach us how to build our own bike box!

Both pubs serve good food and excellent beer so come early!
