Mirfield Moor 25 development

Apologies for this not being a strictly cycling related matter but just thought it may be worth mentioning on here for all of us that are in any way interested in Mirfield - whether you live there or have family there - that there is going to be planning sub- committee meeting for the proposed 25 development on Mirfield Moor on the 6th November at 1pm at Dewsbury Town Hall. If you wish to make an objection at the meeting you have to get there for 12.45 in order to inform them. I feel this is a really important issue for Mirfield (I know it affects us directly !) but realistically it affects us all in terms of traffic in the area which is already a nightmare for us cyclists. Anyway just thought I’d mention it, we need all the help we can get !

26/10/2008 Club Run to Hambleton Cafe

Good turn out of 8 riders in total - Al, Doug, Brad, Phil, Dave S, Craig Newton, Martyn B and Derek. Derek, Phil and Dave went the shorter route over to Keighley cafe and the rest went over Peckett Well but all meeting up at Hambleton Cafe with very good timing !The weather was not great, blustery and showery with some sunny intervals - making it hard going at times, but fast descents ! Martyn unfortunately had a puncture but overall good time was had by all. 

Calling all artists !

Just wondering if there’s any budding artist out there or anyone who knows one ! Who may be interested in putting together a poster and some flyers that we could distribute to promote the club and hopefully attract new members. Unfortunately we are technologically inept so that rules us out !  

club run

can anyone tell if there is a club run this sunday? looked on the blog and its the club 15 at Selby or does that mean its the club 15 and the club run is to Selby!!!!  Fantastic turn out on recent club runs and great rides as a result so if you have not been out recently come and give it a go soon…

Change of club run meeting point?

Hi everyone, just wondering what your thoughts are regarding changing the meeting point for Sunday club runs from Fir Cottage to Mirfield town centre ? Just thinking its a more central and high profile spot so anyone going past may see the club therefore making us more accessible to new members? Share your thoughts ! We could then put our thoughts forward at the AGM. Cheers 

Linda’s Ride 3rd Aug

Wondering if anyone is interested in doing Linda’s ride - 165 miles covering 4 highest peaks in each county of Yorkshire, in aid of Kirkwood Hospice and organised by Dave Sowerby in honour of his wife. I am doing it and wondered if anyone was free to join me ! I did it last year, a tough but enjoyable day, well supported and a great challenge. Its on Sunday 3rd August. If you can’t join me does anyone fancy sponsoring me ? Cheers.
