Thursday Catch-up

Leader: Carin Tranter	Start Time: 10:30 am	Start Location: Zoom
Description: As we cannot ride our bikes as a group under the Covid regulations at the moment, we are going to put on a zoom video call instead. We will probably have a coffee and a biscuit ready on the session so we can pretend we are all in a cafe together! Steph, Di and myself will be hosting. Further sessions can be set up depending upon the response to this one. We hope we can chat and share news in the comfort of our own homes whilst still being able to go out and exercise at other times on our bikes solo or with members of our households. Anyone who has done a Thursday ride in the last few months has been sent an invitation. If anyone else is interested, please contact me.
Riders: Carin Tranter David Bridge Diana Whidborne Lorna Swanton Roger Postbeschild Stephanie Haddrell Val Smith Riders = 7 Report: We had a fun catch up with 7 people on the zoom call. We voiced our frustration at not being able to ride together but agreed we needed to stick with Government regulations and Cycling UK advice. We agreed to try a socially distanced ride the following Thursday using Stanford coffee shop as our meeting place for take away coffee. We would ride solo or in socially distanced pairs and meet up at Stanford followed by completing our rides back home. The group would be 6 of us from the zoom call (excluding Val who couldn't make it). We would offer this out to further Thursday riders if this was successful.
