More sportives anyone?
So, after the runaway success of the Forest of Dean outing - where next? Chris and I fancy the Gran Fondo Cymru on 25th May, if we can fit it in our family diaries, but you need to be quick to enter as it closes on 16th May. Other local-ish events in the next couple of months include the Iron Mountain on 21st June and Wyre Forest Stinger on 6th July. Anyone doing any of these or planning to do any others in the next few weeks?
Update: As sportives are proving such a hit with club folks I have added a permanent page listing events people are attending or thinking about - see “sportive outings” on the menu bar under the banner at the top of the site…

Road race venture
Hi all,
Just picking your brains, I fancy an experimental venture into road racing ! I have raced as a junior and 1st year senior, however everything was in black and white back in the day ;-( Sportives are keeping me happy and motivated but still tempted by the challenge. LVRC seem the best option for me (old git) and I expect to do some speed work on the turbo ;-( Can anyone please give some “pearls” that may help ?
Don’t bother is not an option I want 
Dave
Last week it was a meet up outside the entrance to the Park and Ride in Ludlow (next to Sheet Island on the A49) at 7pm…this week?

Beat the Burway
Anybody got any plans for a ride on Sunday? Simon and myself are thinking of incorporating the Burway into a reasonably long ride in the morning. Sounds like you boys are going to need to get some miles in your legs for the GFC… which I will be on holiday for! Shame, shame 
Here is the proposed route. Meet at the Sheet Road roundabout, Ludlow at 9am.
The FOD is this Sunday, with sign on from 7am in Chippenham Fields in Monmouth. We have a big group of riders meeting up at the start - aiming to get going around 8.30am. Please come and join up with us - whether you are a club member or not. We will be pretty obvious in the Epic Cycles kit…

Welcome
Welcome to the blogsite of Epic Cycles Road Club. As we have only just formed as a club there isn’t a lot to see just yet, so please write a post!!
It is easy to do - all you need is a WordPress account and you are up and running. Takes a minute (if that) - no junk email will be kicked off and no private details will be asked for. Once you have opened an account please send us your email address using the Contact Us page and we’ll add you as a contributor.
All types of posting would be appreciated - ride stories, planned rides and socials, races you have entered, articles you have read, requetsts for a ride buddy, advice given or wanted…anything!
Epic Cycles RC is based at Epic Cycles shop, but isn’t exclusive in any way - it grew out of informal rides from the shop, so everyone is welcome.

Club Kit Order
The nice people at BioRacer have given us a slot to get a summer kit order processed for delivery at the start of July. As we are late in year in starting the club up we can’t get it any earlier than this. The items we could order are short sleeved jerseys (£30 - same design as the ones in store, but in BioRacer fabric), long sleeved lightweight jerseys Continue reading ‘Club Kit Order’
