That should have read โpost lockdown pubbingโ! Obviously a new word. Not to be confused with pubing.
Post lockdown punning.
I suggest that everybody turns up at 6:00 tmrw at HQ and a decision made then regarding numbers and venues. Amanda has booked a table for 6 wheelers at the Royal Standard which may suit us all - or arrival times could be staggered. Or sit at different tables. Or use the Seven Stars. Or the Lemon.
The fact is we rarely get more than a handful turn up for a pub ride these days. ๐๐ด๐ฝ๐บ๐ท๐น๐ด๐ฝ๐คช
Hi all, I'm part of a research project on cycling infrastructure in Falmouth and Penryn. If you live in/regularly visit Falmouth & Penryn via any means of transport we'd like to hear from you! Please share your views on current cycling infrastructure through this short anonymous survey or feel free to ask any questions via the email address listed in the survey.
Many thanks and happy cycling!

Hi everyone and hope you're all well and got out on the bikes over the Easter weekend in the lovely weather-
I was asked by Phil Samuels to write a reminder to you all to join Cycling UK if not members already as it gives you Bike and personal accident insurance as well as third party liability , legal help and retail discounts and six great cycling magazines !
I used my cover when involved in a collision in 2014 and Slater Gordon - a top law firm - handled my case superbly and made the whole experience stress free - I was able to recoup my lost earnings as well as receiving compensation for my injuries.
I highly recommend joining at a cost of ยฃ48 adult membership or ยฃ75 joint per year. It makes you feel safer when out on the roads and I also belong to ETA ( The Ethical Choice ) bike rescue for ยฃ24 a year in case of mechanical failure!!
Happy cycling
Paula
Thank you all for the beautiful flowers I received today. It's been reassuring for me having you there and helping Steve and myself while I was away with Mum. All the messages have been really supportive for me.
It's not just about cycling (and beer!) Looking forward to getting back with the groups cycling.
I hear that Richard753 has been in the wars again, although he escaped with only bruised ear lobes. The driver of an Electric Toyota attempted to over take him at a far too narrow point along the road from Devoran to Point. Far from apologising she suggested that Richard was in her way. Seems that road is jinxed for him.

The road from Point to Devoran is becoming my nemesis, Badly bitten by a dog along there last Friday! Had to get medical aid which is ongoing so not riding at the moment, po!ice involved etc, so take care along there! R753
HNY to all Wheelers, Only cycling solo for now as riding in a group inadvisable! Just doing frequent 20ish miles at a time,looking forward to better times? R753
