Members' Section
Club members are reminded that there is a section of the website which is only available to those Club members who have registered. The contents include the up to date Club database and other material which is really private to Club members and shouldn't be available to the whole world wide web. To enter the section you will need to register and this can be done by clicking on Login in the left hand menubar.

Warning - Stolen Manhole Covers
A number of local riders have reported that manhole covers are being stolen for scrap metal, leaving open holes in the road. Clearly this causes a great hazard should a cyclist hit one of these holes. Please take care out there and should you see one missing then report it to the local Council in order that it can be replaced.

Alert - Stolen Bikes
Will all Club members please be aware of a recent spate of bikes being stolen in Essex from outside pubs/cafes whilst Club Run's are taking refreshment inside. Either padlock the bikes or keep them in sight, preferably both. Alternatively don't stop and just keep riding!
