Dear All,
In the programme we suggested an evening pub ride this Friday (18th); just realised that conflicts with a crucial football match so thought we had better cancel! if anyone fancies a ride to say the Crettingham Bell on Saturday evening instead (if fine) let us know. Trust people were happy with the suggested programme? Stephen could you possible put it on the web site? Please let us know if you are interested in getting any bikes repaired or serviced on 17th July. Phil and Tig

BIKE SERVICING INFORMATION
We get our bike serviced and repaired by a really nice bloke in Ipswich who trades under the name of the Bicycle Doctor. He has a mobile service facility (in his large red van!) and when I was talking to him the other day I mentioned the Otley Cycle Group and he asked if he might join us for an outing one time. I said yes of course. He also wondered if there was any demand in Otley for bike servicing and / or repair, suggesting that if there was he would be happy to come up to the village hall car park one Saturday morning with his van to do a "surgery". He would need to know who wanted what doing and what makes of bike are involved. I do not have any charges as yet but I know from experience that his rates are very reasonable. If people could let me know if they want any work doing and we can see if it would be worth his while coming out.
