Supporting both competitive and non-competitive, on and off-road cycling
John’s family have asked me to confirm that in accordance with John’s wishes, his funeral is just for his immediate family, with no flowers or donations. Nonetheless, his family are also planning to hold a celebration of John’s life event, probably in the Spring/Summer, when, hopefully, the current restrictions have been lifted and everybody has been vaccinated, at which donations may then be invited. Further details are to be posted in due course.

As the rules and guidance have changed, all club rides are once again, suspended. A review will take place on 3rd December.
Sorry to announce that life member and club stalwart Les Archer passed away on 6th August.
Les was known and liked by so many people, was a very decent rider, organised several road races including the British National Championships in Dudley and managed the Stourbridge Elite Squad from 2000 until 2008. He will be missed and our condolences go to his wife, Pat and son and daughter, Nick and Alison.
Stourbridge stalwart, Wally Fowler set a new World Best Hour Record at Newport velodrome today. Competing in the 85-89 age category, Wally covered an amazing 34.602km/21.5miles in the hour.
This is the second time that Wally has set an hour best, riding 35.772km in 2015, when in the 80-84 age group.
Can you please find time to sign the on-line petition to support the building of a West Midlands Velodrome for the Commonwealth Games 2022.
