Didn't get in the ballot again Richard but am doing it for Macmillan.
Dammit - failed to get on the Ride London 100 via the ballot! Any other Wheelers successful or otherwise? Thinking of trying for a charity place, but most expect you to raise so much money - cannot ask in our village again and certainly for a large amount! R753
Saturday rides - as mentioned in the meeting; some wheelers would like the option of riding on a Saturday. Thereโs no set times for these rides as theyโll be ad hoc. Iโve been tasked to create the Saturday WattsApp group. If youโd like to be included please let me know when you see me on Sundays or message me (Facebook) Thanks.
Nigel's funeral will be at 10am on the 10 February, to be held in the Trelawney Chapel at Penmount. Family flowers only and donations to the Brain Tumour Charity. A collection box will be in the chapel.
Looking like it will be wet tmrw morning. Iโll organise a WattBike session at Falmouth Sports Hub if a few are interested instead of riding. Suggest 10:00 oโclock.
Attention, everyone who comes on the winter Sunday 10 O'clock ride - it was agreed today that we'll meet at 9.30am from now on, as the mornings are much lighter on fine days, unless it's really gloomy and damp, when we might revert to 10am. If you're not sure, text Sonjia or Denise to find out what's happening. Thanks!
Is anyone driving over to Robin and gills tomorrow that could drop by Budock Water and give steve a lift please? If so, please give me a call or message. Thanks.
New Years Day ride. I'll be at HQ at 9am if anyone fancies a ride before heading to Robin and Gill's place

Minutes of the October meeting now in the members area of the Forum.
As I mentioned at the meeting, and now put up on the Audax Kernow site, there is an AUK offer that essentially gives you your ยฃ3 supplement back if you rode on the Celtic Coastal/Canter as a non-AUK member and now want to join. The direct AUK link for details is https://www.audax.uk/join-us/. Benefits: the magazine is a good read/inspiring/terrifying, you save the ยฃ3 each ride, and you get to buy an Audax Kernow jersey if you want one.
Weโve managed to secure the studio at Falmouth school Sports Hub for WattBike training on both Wednesday evenings at 6:30 and Friday evenings at 6:00. Let me know whether you want to attend either session.
Interesting article - What's in a name. A territory familiar to me and near to where I used to live and cycle. Trewherry, Tregustick, Nanswhyden, Trerice, Rialton, Talskiddy and others - you may not know or recall, but I am sure Wheelers have been through these at some time since I have been riding with the club.

A bit of trivia. On the return from Sunday's ride (my part of it) I thought I would recheck the so-called "4-mile hill" - have I got nothing better to do you may say! Starting at the very bottom where the road crosses the stream - after about half a mile there is a very slight dip (enough to freewheel for a few yards), then the 'climb' continues until 2,7 miles when it definitely goes downhill. So, "4-mile hill is pure fiction! Does anyone else have any other local myths they wish to dispel? R753
The Irish Recce. Our apologies for the lack of a report and any photos covering the four days we spent in the Wicklow Mountains - but good news! Iโm hoping to give a short presentation with the help of the club projector at this weeks meeting. Donโt miss it. Trip planned for September next year.
Can I please have the remainder of the Christmas house party (20th December at The Merchants Manor Hotel) money in at the next meeting on 31st October please. ยฃ15pp.
There are some places available still so if anyone would like to join us, just let me have the full payment of ยฃ25.
