This Weekend 1st and 2nd December 2012

Hi Everyone,

I'm afraid some of this weekends rides will be cancelled. I've not been very well this week and will not be riding the bike this weekend.

Kids Club @ LEC will take place as usual on Saturday at 9.30am, but please make sure the youngsters are dressed appropriately!

There will be an off road ride with Denis on Saturday at 1.00pm, meeting at the cafe.

Fit Camp at 1.00pm is CANCELLED.

At the moment, there is NO SUNDAY RIDE unless I have a volunteer to lead it. If anyone has a route they would like to do, please let me know and I will pop it up here for every one to see.

If you do go out over the weekend, make sure you wrap up warm and be careful of the smaller lanes, they stay icy all day!

We need more people to come forward and act as Ride Captains from time to time, otherwise we will have to cancel rides. I have led rides most weeks and frankly guys, I'm worn out and run down and need help!

AGM, Prize Giving and Weekend Rides

7.00pm onwards this evening.

Raffle prizes include, a bottle of scotch signed by David Cameron, a John Lewis hamper, a bottle of Jack Daniels, Eddie Merckx - The Cannibal book and more!

Weekend Rides

Both Kids Club and the Fit Camp ride on Saturday 24th November are cancelled due to more expected heavy rain and gale force winds.

There will be a 1.00pm Off Road Ride with Denis, meeting at Eltham Park Cafe.

Sunday 25th November - will be weather dependent. Although the wind and rain is set to ease, we need to take into account localised flooding in the lanes. We will try and make a decision on Saturday evening.

We look forward to seeing you this evening!

AGM and Prize Giving Final Arrangements!

Due to the hire of the room, we have had to change the date of the AGM and Prize Giving.

The final arrangements are as follows:

AGM and Prize Giving

Friday 23rd November 2012, 7.00pm for a 7.30pm start

RED BARN PUB
Barnehurst Road
Bexleyheath
DA7 6HG
.
We are in the downstairs room (right side of the pub, down in the garden). The manager very kindly lets us have this room at no charge when it is not booked for a paid event, hence us moving the AGM forward a day to Friday.

Please have your 'Club Member of the Year' nomination to Steph by Monday 19th November 2012. The three top nominations will be put to the vote on the evening.

We would love to make the evening more of an event than last year, so please could you donate a raffle prize or bring along an item of food (sausage rolls, sandwiches, cakes, crisps) contact me to find out what we need more of.

Sean has started the raffle prizes with a bottle of very nice scotch, with the label personally autographed by the Prime Minister David Cameron. Many thanks Sean! All proceeds towards the trikes.

Snazzy Socks

Well done TeamLEC!

Sunday saw 29 riders take to the road in snazzy socks, to celebrate 2 years of LEC. Horizontal stripes, vertical stripes, spots, football socks, snowmen, muppets, you name it, we wore it! Ali's LEC legwarmers were a hoot!

Together we raised £57.50 for the 'Wheels For All' trike fund, taking us up to a grand total of £92.85. That is a quarter of our first trike!

A big well done to Matthew, India, Kim and Trudy! (Fit Camp Graduates and Kids Club riders)

RIDE CANCELLED

Sunday 4th November - RIDE CANCELLED

Due to the continued rain and surface water, we have no choice but to postpone our Anniversary ride until next week.
