I’ll be riding from Bloomfield. Setting off from there soon after 8.00 am for a gentle warm-up. Anybody else riding from Narberth apart from Mat?

[Julian MT]

Ill be there.

[Julian MT]

Can’t do this week but definitely up for a few of these. Keep us posted Mike.

[Julian MT]

I’m in, but on recent performance may need the broom wagon!

[Julian MT]

It’s my other half’s birthday, so just put me down as a maybe for now !!!

[Julian MT]

I’ll be riding in from home, via Carew. Be good to know whether you’ll be doing the Carew loop or going straight to the quay from Jeff, presumably taking the direct route via Cresselly, so that I can meet you at some point along the way.

[Julian MT]

Was planning to do it, but due to recent events have reluctantly decided to give it a miss. Good luck to everybody who’s riding – should be a cracker.

[Julian MT]

I’ll be there.

[Julian MT]

Presume it’s a 9.00 start as usual, not 8.00 as posted?

[Julian MT]

A reminder about this one – just a month to go. I know a few Dynamos fancy it, but haven’t registered yet (I’m one of them). Some new roads to ride and should be fun. Lets try to have a decent Dyno presence!

[Julian MT]

I’m up for a longer ride Simon. Tenby and the south coast will be busy though, so we may need to have a re-think on the extended route?

[Julian MT]

Oh, go on then! Please book me in. If work gets in the way I’ll let you know Andrew.

[Julian MT]

Five! I’ll probably ride in via Carew and turn off for home at the Cleddau bridge on the way back assuming the route will be as posted.

[Julian MT]

Thanks Pete. Tonight would have been a good training ride!

[Julian MT]

Pete – continue to post the Sunday rides please. As you’ll have gathered from previous posts, a lot of us really appreciate the efforts you have been making for the club- thank you!

As Simon has said, a lot of us have been working towards various sportives over the last few months (and, for the elite few, Ironman) and sometimes the length/timing of the posted Sunday rides do not always tie in with everybody’s needs or personal commitments for the weekend.

Perhaps it would help if two alternative routes were posted (one medium length, one longer/hillier) for Sunday, or maybe alternative routes for Saturday and Sunday, to allow people to chose the one most suitable for the individual.

I, and others, have sometimes suggested some alternative routes/start times on the forum from time to time, to try and add some variety, but the response to these has for the most part been quite limited, as is the response to most forum posts. For me, the forum is a good communication tool for the club, as I look at it every day, but maybe we should look at an alternative and more immediate means of communication for the club, such as Whatsapp or something similar, as it seems a lot of members don’t look regularly at the forum?

I know it’s off topic, Pete, but the two sportives Simon has mentioned should be good and it would be great to have a decent Dynamos representation at them.

I think that as a club we should take strength from the generally good turn outs for the week day rides and build on that, with everybody making an effort to ride as a Dynamos group on weekends, either on Saturday or Sunday (or both).

With the Long Course this weekend, I won’t be out this Sunday, but am planning to ride as many Sundays as I can for the rest of the summer.
