South Bucks CTC are running a weekend of rides (October 22nd/23rd) that they would be happy for Reading CTC members to join. More information on their website: http://www.southbuckscycling.org.uk/events/index.html
A reminder for members, you can sign up to the Reading CTC Google group here. The more of us that sign up the more useful it will be!
We have now opened entries for the South Oxfordshire Off-road Tour (SOOT) on Saturday 1st October 2011 – a 50km ride through the west Chilterns. More details can be found here: http://www.readingctc.co.uk/soot/
Leaders may have been having trouble updating ride numbers, or updating other ride information. This has now been fixed.
You will find that destinations in the rides list are now links. Clicking these links will show a OS map of the destination courtesy of Streetmap.
Some destinations are not linked (those not on landranger maps 173,174 or 175). This will be fixed in the coming weeks.
There is a bike related update from Gorrick here .
The gist is that Swinley forest and Crowthorne wood are closed, but will probably be open for the weekend.
Leaders can now update rides on the online runs list, so if you have any changes to make you can do them yourselves using the leader login. Follow the instructions for updating ride numbers, the same form now lets you update other ride details.
If you lead rides you should have had an email letting you know how to login, post messages and update ride numbers. If you haven’t then it’s probably because I didn’t have your correct email address, email webmaster@readingctc.co.uk and I’ll let you know, after some cursory checks that you are a leader and not a stranger!
You may have noticed that the new site no longer has a forums section. After the site was hacked the forums could not be reloaded without significant effort.
As they were not heavily used we’ve decided not to try and continue with having forums actually on the Reading CTC site, instead we’ve created a group on Google Groups for Reading CTC use. You can find it at http://groups.google.com/group/readingctc
You will need to join the group to post messages, just click ‘Join this group’ on the right side of the page and follow the instructions.
We’re not committed to this, we can see how things work out over the next few months and decide whether or not we need to do something different then.
