The Peter Bissell Memorial Ride will take place this year on Sunday 14 March.
This is a departure from previous years' rides which have been in early January but badly affected by icy weather. We hope for more clement conditions on this date (14 March is the closest date to Peter's birthday).
There will be several led groups following (broadly) predefined routes and catering for multiple ages/abilities of rider. Routes will be 25/30 miles (10-12mph) up to 60+ miles (fast group). Rides will start and finish at Gosling Sports Park (parking and shower facilities available). Welwyn Wheelers and guest riders are invited to join club, family and friends for lunch after the ride in the Gosling Cafe Bar.
Start: 9:15am
Finish: 12-12:30pm (target)
Further details to follow on the Welwyn Wheelers website. If you would like to advertise this elsewhere, click here for a flyer.

The next Newport Track Session will take place on 14th February. It has been booked from 12 noon until 4pm.
Following the last session’s record attendance, we have limited the number to 32.
We would like to achieve some form of progression with these sessions, so this will be run for senior and indoor track experienced youths only. Sorry if this causes any disappointment.
Unfortunately, due to price increases, we will have to increase the charges for the session.
Adult -- £15. Youth -- £10.

In addition to the Wednesday evening Winter track sessions the club also has indoor Turbo sessions as an alternative if the track is un-rideable. This option is available from WEDNESDAY December 16th. Due to space constraints these are only open to first claim members of Welwyn Wheelers only. The turbo sessions will be run in the Creche (part of the Puma Centre) at Gosling Sports Park and will now start at 7.00pm (rather than at 7.45 pm) and finishing at 9.00pm. Meet at the trackside first to see which session will be running. Access to the creche is via the back door NOT via Gosling Reception. The club only has a very limited number of turbo trainers so riders should bring their own. Rollers are also acceptable.
Please bring a base cloth/towel on which to set up your Turbo trainer or rollers. It is essential that we keep the creche clean and tidy if we are to retain this facility through the Winter period. So if you usually come down to the road session on the track and you are a club member it would make sense to put your turbo in the car just in case. |
