25 days holiday

Once a month a flexi day is permitted, if you do enough overtime

+The_Other_Rob - I can take a flexi day once a month - so I can claim 37 days plus BHs - that is hard to give up

I don't even know that.

Oh, hang on, I remember...

...in the US, health insurance is like a second mortgage and you only get 2 weeks holiday per year.

Free healthcare with the NHS and 5 weeks holiday per year (plus bank holidays) for the win!

Oregon is lovely.

I am dying to do Cycle Oregon.

This is a fully supported 7-day ride, they carry all your stuff, pitch a tent for you and provide food and live music.

Why am I even living here!

+Ben6899 that would be Salem, Massachesetts, where the infamous witch trials took place. Naturally, I don't go there...

This is Salem, Oregon, where witches may live free and there are micro brew beers aplenty.

SBC runs two big (food-related) rides (you can see the attraction to me): The Monster Cookie Century and the Peach of Century. They get about 2,000 riders for each of these!

Hooray!

Salem Bicycle Club is the third

More than 400 members and 11 weekly rides in a town with a 150,000 population.

Love it!

The six times freeloader has been sorted.

To be clear, we very much welcome guests for up to three rides, after which you must join to continue riding with us.

You can be a member of other clubs. (I am a member of three).

Great +aj welcome

Jez - give me 24hrs to process your membership, etc

Ed (alias +user7009) come and see how you do. It is a good challenge, but we do regroup at all hills and turns.

+Smedley make sure you are using the same email you gave us when you joined the club

Welcome, Sam. It sounds like our junior section will be growing in a year it two.

17 May but it is full - there will be one in June. Meanwhile come along to our C ride on a Sunday.

+Brammaldhino you would be welcome at our C group on a Sunday morning SS a good start point in the meantime. Members will be happy to show you the ropes. Also the 8am group in Regents Park on Saturdays would work.

Great news +tmbrntt

The short answer is yes.

Yes. Start out with the C Group on Sunday. And come to our next Intro Ride on 17 May.

Sounds like a good/free way to get some circuit experience in!

In short, no.

As they say, there is no bad weather, only the wrong clothes.

But how 'not right' can the weather be in April?

If it is wet, wear a rain jacket and add mudguards.
If it is really, really wet, we'll run a shorter loop with no stops.

Snow and ice is a different matter.
As are exceptionally high winds.

Yes, there is room! This will be about a 45-mile ride.
