Sat 11 July: Helpers needed in Haslingfield
Can you help? We need helpers for our Audax event at Haslingfield Methodist Hall on Saturday 11 July.
Helpers are needed at the hall, morning, afternoon and evening, and later on for the "tidy squad". Jobs include serving food and drinks to the weary riders, keeping the hall tidy, being on dury in the car park, and meeting and greeting.
We'd also welcome help with baking cakes and are looking for people to travel to our various "controls" to stamp the brevet cards of our riders as they pass through.
Please contact Yasmin if you can help.
New women riders welcome
Sarah writes: We're always excited to welcome more women into our cycling community. Whether you are completely new to riding in a group or just looking for friendly faces to ride with, you'll be supported from the start.
If you'd like a bit of extra confidence on your first few rides, Yasmin or I would be delighted to be your buddy to help you settle in, answer questions and make sure you feel comfortable and included.
No pressure, no judgement - just great rides and good company. Get in touch with me if you'd like to join. sarahcarlyle58@yahoo.com Sarah Carlyle
