Winter 24/25 Socials

Tuesday, November 12th, 7.30 pm at the Lescar, Sharrow Vale Road

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!
