The clocks have changed, good bikes are making an appearance, spring is in the air. So it's time to start the midweek runs again from 3rd April - Wednesday Carse Loop from Invergowrie Meeting Place at 6pm. All welcome.

Will be split into ability groups, so the more riders the better this works out for everyone.
 
The aim of the run is to ride at a training pace that keeps the group together. The speeds are usually around Group 1- 21mph; Group 2 - 19mph; Group 3 - 17mph. Speeds will depend on who's all there!
 
The loop is here, decide on the evening if it is clockwise or anti-clockwise, usually depends on the wind direction!
 
Hope to see you there.

Following the AGM (minutes to follow), the 2024 membership is now due, held at the bargain price of £15.

Please pay electronically into the Wheelers account with your name as reference.

If you can't pay electronically then cold hard cash is also accepted. hand it to one of the committee.
