BICYCLIST  OF THE WEEK

Zhou Changchun dressed as Santa Claus performs bike stunt in Changchun, capital of northeast China's Jilin Province aimed at drawing people's attention to environmental protection. More stunt pics here: http://en.chinagate.cn/photos/2009-12/24/content_19123933.htm

 

BICYCLE  OF THE WEEK

A fixie for your Christmas stocking. Designed by Aurumania, each one of the 10 limited-edition GOLD bikes represent a cornucopia of delights for any feinschmecker. Each bike is hand-built, and then plated with 24-carat gold and generously adorned with more than 600 fine Swarovski crystals.  The handlebar grips are made of hand-sewn, chocolate-brown leather. If you have approximately $134,000 this will be a nice treat/gift! Enjoy!

CHRISTMAS RIDE TOMORROW [SATURDAY 23rd]

The last ride before Christmas with dry balmy weather. Last chance to get in shape for the festivities.

Pete S is leading the gang on a short, easy and steady ride out to BIke Beans at Ashtead. Nice route via Tattenham corner and back via Walton on the Hill. About 30 miles. Meet 10.00 am at Shurguard/501 Brighton Road. Hip flasks optional ...

 

FLASH RIDES

There is no planned Sunday or Tuesday rides on the 24th, 26th or 31st. However if the weather is good and the legs need stretching why not sort a route and invite a few club members along? Just drop me a line and i'll send out a ride update to spread the word.
