The weather's not looking good for the prospects of club runs tomorrow, but we do have a club Zwift session planned. beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/…

We now also have a B run heading to Astwood Bank. See the link above for details.

We currently have just a Beacon Burst planned for tomorrow, but other club run proposals are welcome. It looks like being dry for the last Sunday riding opportunity of 2024. beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/…

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We hope you have a lovely festive season. If you feel like getting out on your bike on Boxing Day, we have a nice set of rides planned, which should get you home in plenty of time for lunch. beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/…

The plan for Sunday is for club runs to converge on Whitlenge for a pre-Christmas gathering, but the forecast is currently for high winds again. Please keep an eye on the message board for updates. A Zwift ride is being planned in case of poor weather. beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/…

It's the traditional local cycling clubs' Christmas drinks at the Swan in Chaddesley Corbett this Sunday, and we have several club run options to get you there. The forecast is for it to be dry and a bit warmer than it's been so far this week. beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/…

It might not be the weather for club runs, or even cyclo-cross, but you can still join your club-mates online for some virtual social cycling. Sunday's group Zwift ride starts at 09:00. beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/…

For anyone keen to get a ride in this weekend, Alan Weaver has organised a group Zwift ride for 09:00 on Saturday. beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/…

Thanks to everyone who'd volunteered to help out over the weekend and especially to Ade Ravenscroft for all his work on this event. We hope you have a safe and restful weekend.

Unfortunately, due to the field being waterlogged and having significant amounts of standing water even before Storm Darragh arrives, a decision has been made to cancel our round of the WMCCL this weekend. Entrants should look out for a message being sent out via RiderHQ.

There are no club runs this Sunday because we're co-organising a round of the @wmccl with @Stourbridge_cc. Some additional volunteers to help load a van with equipment in Wythall on Saturday morning would be appreciated. beaconrcc.org.uk/2024-beacon-rc…

Uncertainty over the weather on Sunday means we don't have many club run options proposed so far. A mountain bike ride in the Clent Hills is now taking place on Saturday and on Sunday we have a short D run to Chaddesley Corbett. beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/…

This year's Annual General Meeting will take place at 18:30 on Thursday 12 December 2024, via Zoom. beaconrcc.org.uk/2024-annual-ge…

Fed up with today's weather and stuck indoors? Here's something to cheer you up: an irreverent new touring report from George Barker. beaconrcc.org.uk/touring-report…

Unsurprisingly given the weather, we have just the one club run proposed for Sunday. Providing the weather isn't too bad, a C run will be heading to Lavender Hall Fishery. beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/…

The weather forecast for Sunday has been changing quite a lot, but it currently looks like being sunny for at least parts of the morning. At present, we have a C run to Bewdley and a D run to Kinver Edge planned. beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/…

It's just five days until our Annual Awards Night this Saturday evening at the Black Horse. Thanks to a change of venue, we've been able to slash the cost of tickets this year. If you've not got yours yet, tickets are still available! beaconrcc.org.uk/2024-annual-aw…

We now have a full set, with an A run heading to Evesham.

This Sunday, we currently have a B run to Droitwich, a C run to Astood Bank, a D run to Bishampton and an off-road ride to Dudley planned. Further details are on the message board as usual. beaconrcc.org.uk/message_board/…
