Dear Club and All Precious Members,
Most of you may have heard of or participated in the recent excellent discussions about Tuesday rides.
Several weeks ago a poll was thrown up for our Gravel Riders to choose their preference of Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday for riding Fastermediate Gravel.
This poll was written in such a way that appeared to misrepresent the entirety of the club, with the inability for everyone to add their vote which would truly reflect whether the majority of the club think its a good idea to introduce a competing ride on Tuesdays.
Just look at the comments in that topic (thank you all for your input) and you will see how it is a hot debate.
Ultimately, the Board of Directors took the results of this poll and announced Gravel Rides will start up on Tuesdays.
Yes the Board of Directors had long discussions and did not make the decision lightly.
Despite their best intentions, there are many in the club who were not contacted in any way by the Board of Directors and were not actively heard by the Board of Directors.
I am raising this anonymous poll to see where the interest truly lies.
