I was interviewed by the local paper this week as they asked ‘is there a knock-on effect from the Olympics’. I had to reply that although I had seen many cyclists around town, we had not experienced a lot of new riders and that perhaps they had all joined Crawley Wheelers to go racing. But that was before our beginners ride where we had eleven riders! I had quite forgotten what it is like to lead such a large group and being on the tandem made this a little bit harder, but it was a delight to see so many people out on their bikes. We followed our, now quite regular, route to Redhill Aerodrome. Many people had not done this before and we got the opportunity to see 200 tons of jet aircraft fly over our head at Gatwick and the light aircraft and helicopters buzzing around at the Aerodrome. We had a warm day and fulfilled our promise not to leave anyone behind, even though we had a wide range of capability in our group. The watch-word with Horsham/Crawley CTC is social, leisure riding and so we hope to see you out on your bike soon.
