I hope you all are well and had a lovely Christmas and New Year, personally I was in Cornwall and only managed 1 ride, so I'm looking forward to some not so crisp winter rides.
****Applogies for the mix up between last quarters ride list and this quarters ride list,
(proof reading /checking issues) In hindsite we should have run with the original start points and not tried to correct or change them****
Club Rides List:- www.northbirminghamcycling.uk/Resources/Rides%20List.pdf
Remember 4 degrees and below there is NO official ride and the ride leader may not turn up.
If you decide to ride good luck. I know some members are not on Facebook but there are rides going out on cold DRY days and they are being organised on our Facebook Page.

Dieppe Raid 2017 -Mike Eades
Full information about the Dieppe Raid 2017 is now on the Dieppe CC website www.dieppetour.com
I have set out below a provisional itinerary for an extended weekend (Friday to Monday) on 23rd June. Booking can commence once I know how many are interested in attending. I expect the cost to be between £200 and £250 for all travel, accommodation, breakfast and evening meal.
If you are interested drop me an email eades.mike@talktalk.net or call me on 01543 483064. I’d like to finalise arrangements and confirm all bookings by the end of January.
Friday 23rd June
Travel to Newhaven for 16:00 ferry which docks at 21:00
Eat on Ferry and check into accommodation on arrival.
Long Stay Parking available at the Ferry terminal at £3.50 per 24 hours
Saturday 24th June
Club style ride of 80 to 100km
Return to Dieppe Town Hall for 5pm for official welcome
Beers and evening meal
Sunday 25th June
Dieppe CC rides at a distances of 40, 100 or 140km with a 40km MTB option available
Return to Dieppe for prize-giving
Optional Dieppe organised meal in the evening, or, Beers and evening meal
Monday 26th June
Club style ride with distance dependant on Ferry return time
Ferry sailing options are 12:30 or 18:00
I suggest we go for 18:00 and eat on the ferry, but return to Birmingham would then be in the early hours.
If we get enough entrants we may be able to arrange some bulk transport to and from Newhaven.
Instead of a hotel we could book apartment(s) which sleep around 8 to10.
Several campsites are also available.
Once the official Dieppe route is known we can plot routes for the Saturday and Monday rides . Thought we could do three loops, one East, one South and one West so that we see as much of the area as possible.
Individuals could extend the weekend to a weeks holiday.
Final arrangements will depend on the number of people wishing to attend. Please contact me ASAP so that I can finalise the planning.
