Limited Edition Cycling is 2 years old this coming Sunday 4th November!
To celebrate this, we are recreating our very first club ride to Hawley. The ride will be a level 3 ride of about 19 miles and will be suitable for most members of the club. But, there is a twist......
We want as many of you as possible to celebrate our birthday, by wearing a crazy sock on the ride and making a £1 donation towards our Wheels For All fund. Let's be the most visual club on the road this weekend!!!
I would also like to ask for your nominations for 'Club Member of the Year', to be awarded at the AGM and Prize Giving in November. Please send a short email to our Membership Secretary, stating the name of the person you are nominating and the reason why.
The AGM and Prize Giving has been postponed until Saturday 24th November 2012. Full details will be posted on Monday.
This is the final call for club clothing orders! Please get them to Ali by 4th November.

Finance Meeting, Weekend Rides, Wheels For All
Thursday 4th October - FINANCE MEETING POSTPONED
Due to unexpected work commitments of the Treasurer, the meeting will now be on Thursday 11th October, 7.30pm, The Cutty Sark Pub in Greenwich.
Sunday 7th October
KOM ride will now start at 9.00am from Eltham Park South Cafe.
Greenwich and Bexley Community Hospice Ride - meet at Eltham Park South Cafe to leave promptly at 9.00am to ride to Greenwich for the signing on point. Alternatively, meet by the Cutty Sark (boat itself) between 9.30am and 9.45am. You can register online via the link on the calendar.
Our first ever 'All Abilities Road Show' is set to go ahead on Friday 19th October. We are borrowing 'Surrey Wheels For All' bikes for the day and have invited lots of interesting people to come and support what we are trying to do.
This could be our first 'Wheels For All' purchase. It costs £399.00 and would allow a rider with balance problems, the opportunity to ride. An adapted seat costs £30 extra and can be added at a later date. We have £35 in the 'Wheels For All' fund, mainly thanks to the Robb family. A big thank you to them all! £364 pound to go, donations greatly appreciated.
Are there any businesses out there that would like to sponsor a trike? We can label it with a name plate for the business, so providing lots of advertising!!!
Please email using the link on the right, or speak to Ollie 07984 200566.

Dr L's Ride Report - Lullingstone 30th September
Dr L ran the level 3 group on an impromptu Lullingstone route on Sunday, we left the park just after the KOM group with MG calling out a cheery “see you at Lullingstone but we’ll probably be leaving as you get there!” Oh how he regretted that later.
It was a small group with Caroline, Tom, Chris, Jayne and Isobel leaving through New Eltham and then through St Mary Cray and up Chelsfield lane – everyone doing well, Isobel just storming every rise, Chris looking impressive on the Allez and Caroline absolutely dogged in her determination.
At Chelsfield village the team had the choice of the Skyride route with its poor surface or a more direct route with a small hill (Dr Livingstone borrowing heavily from the Richard Williams “it’s largely flat” playbook) which was duly chosen – not sure the doctor will get many Christmas cards this year. So we went through the village and then up Rock Hill with Caroline selecting a suitably low gear and churning steadily up stopping only for a breather on a side road and then continuing finally attaining the top – Chapeau Caroline, don’t think I could have done that in my first year.
Fast downhill crack to the café saw us arrive ahead of our team mates although they did experience a puncture, with a poorly Bradders arriving solo after about 10 minutes and so the team was swelled by JB for the return leg and the chase to South Darenth was on with Dr L pushing a faster pace and then we calmed down a bit for the run up to Wilmington where Chris and Jo left us, shedding Jayne and Isobel in Bexley and then there were three for the final leg back to the park arriving just ahead of the KOM group – a good performance from them considering the route they chose.
Special mentions to:
Chris – amazing improvement since the bike change
Isobel – just so impressive
Caroline – the Energizer Bunny.
Combative point to Caroline.
PS much better weather than we were expecting.
