Christchurch Bicycle Club
Dorset, England
Many of our ride groups use GPX files to show the intended route for the day - this helps people prepare, as well as enabling those leading to follow the route on a cycle computer (such as a Garmin). We have planned 2-3 sessions explaining how to create, view and follow GPX routes.
We have decided to extend the opening of the club kit shop until end of the day on Monday 12th February in case there are any members who intended to order but haven't yet done so.
As you are well aware there are some nasty potholes out there at the moment. If you see any in the BCP area please use the link in this announcement to report, with a photo if possible.

Following various surveys amongst our membership, we can now announce the preferred design option and feedback. Also answers to questions raised have been added.
Michael House is a homeless charity in Boscombe Bournemouth with a reconditioning bike project. The residents have been busy reconditioning unwanted bikes for rough sleepers and people within our local community for a nominal donation to cover the cost of parts.

For many of us, Terry, you changed our lives. Our heavy, old, rusty bikes were gradually exchanged for shiny, new, super-light models and our baggy shorts and t-shirts were replaced by figure-hugging lycra bikewear – like you we had become “hooked on cycling”. Some of us even went on to take part in time trials and competitions.
