Further to my earlier message about potholes (where aren't there any?) More are (or potentially) opening up between Norway and Devoran. Just be aware! I know this should be obvious - Grandmother and eggs etc., but you need to keep a careful eye on the road ahead. Sorry to nag! R753 If anyone does not know, 753 refers to the particular Reynolds tubing. R

We are hoping to arrange a social night at BR adventure, Halvasso.
The Cornish Barista cafe will open just for us in the evening. Provided we have a minimum of twenty people, all meals will be pre- ordered in advance. Suggest we go for Friday the 18th or 25th of November or 2nd December. We'd like to confirm the date at our October meeting.

Sadly, my Royce large flange hubs will be going to the Cycling Club in the sky! One flange in the rear one has cracked - I guess it has suffered 40 years of hard use/abuse and all good things come to an end. At least I can still rely on Hope (hubs, that is) - they just don't look as good! I am now in mourning.

Richard 572 has reported serious potholes on main road from Devoran to Norway Inn, making this even more dangerous than usual. Take care.

Falmouth to Lands End Ride - Friday 10th Sept.
A small group of friends from my old club in Bromley are doing a 400mile ride from Bromley to Lands End. A bit of a retirement celebration for Andrew (who cycled with the Wheelers a couple of times in the summer). I’m planning to join them for the last couple of days on 9th and 10th September.
On the last day, Friday 10th Sept, we’ll be setting off at 9/9.30am and riding from Falmouth to LE, We’d welcome any Wheelers who’d like to join us for the day. The plan is to catch the 4.15pm train from Penzance back to Truro/London. Anyone interested, drop me a line to arrange the meeting point. Sarah .

That should have read “post lockdown pubbing”! 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. 😃🚴🏽🍺🍷🍹🚴🏽🤪
