Despite most of the UK being in high-risk tiers cycling seems to be carrying on with, where I live, lots of riders on their own and club groups of six.

Unfortunately the lack of pubs and cafes (other than takeaways) has rather taken the edge off riding for me but hopefully the stringent regulations coupled with the vaccine and commonsense will bring the situation under control not too far into 2021.

Subject to the weather I plan to have a ride, only about 20 miles or so, on Christmas morning - I have a small wager with a friend that I'll wear shorts (as at today I have yet to wear longs this winter)

. . . and a bit of whimsy with a shot of the snowmen on the fence at the webmaster's house.

A big thank you to Shaun at CycleChat.net for his generous hosting of the site, managing the recent upgrade to the latest version of the software and a move to new, faster, server. 

I have made some changes to the overall structure to make it less cluttered and easier to navigate - a lot of the site has been re-written but a few items still need checking and editing.  It should all appear correctly - the key resources like The Journals are available together with the ONLINE SHOP and The Directory.

As of 5 November 2020 people in England (and various other rules for Wales, Scotland & Northern Ireland) must stay at home if they can until - until (at least) 2 December 2020 . . . with any cycing activity limited to riding with no more than one other person.

So, perhaps time to sit down and plan that End-to-End cycle ride you've said you will always do - lots of resources on the website and Journals to browse.

Hopefully we'll see whatever the new normal will be by Spring 2021 and be able to get out on our bikes in the meantime I'll be trying to stick to my "ride every other day" regime to occupy my mind and for fitness.

The News items that are below date back some time - there's been little added since 2012.   That's not to say nothing has happened - the website has been live and seeing thousands of visitors - it's just that I've not got round to adding news etc.

I've reinstated the old news items just for interest, if there is any.

As may be expected in the current situation there is very little activity on the E2E - hopefully that will change for 2021 .... the website remains live for all the resources and planning guidance for YOUR ride.
