Club Kit update
The initial promotional window saw a good response. The first orders for new club kit in the recreational design have gone to Kalas, with a target delivery to a single address around mid November. Orders for the revamped race kit were lower, so we have held these back until the 2nd and final promotional window opens at the beginning of November.
Kalas will bring samples of all the jerseys on offer in the promotion to the Bring & Buy sale on Thursday 7 November at Woodbourne Sports & Social Club, Earlswood. This will be the start of the 2nd promotion.
Road closures
We received a complaint that an SCC club rider cycled over Bidford bridge contrary to the mandatory road closure notice. We understand there have also been similar complaints about other cyclists not walking across the bridge.
Our club code of conduct expects us to respond to any challenge in a courteous and polite manner, even if this appears to be unreasonable, or there is provocation.

Could You Be A Cycling Coach?
Solihull Cycling Club already has a great team of British Cycling-trained coaches who deliver group sessions, mainly at Tudor Grange Park, to develop our member’s cycling skills and fitness.
The sessions cater for young and old - beginner to elite. But we need more coaches.
The sessions, which take place on weekday evenings during the Spring and Summer, are greatly valued by members, and they have been the launch pad for successful cycling careers including World Champions and Pro Tour riders.
But they sometimes stretch our resources, and occasionally sessions have to be cancelled due to coach unavailability.
Would you like to join the team?
You can find out more here:

or email coaching@solihullcc.org.uk.
As a cycling club, we actively promote all aspects of cycling from social riding for pleasure and health, to racing and participation in organized competitive events.
Our younger members and youth are especially important to the club. We are lucky to have a good selection of coaches to help our younger members develop their skills and identify their strengths.
We now have 3 suppliers of Club clothing to suit every need. A wide range of items are available in men's, women's and children's specific sizes and fits.
We are working with a new kit supplier to revamp the range - hopefully this will be available in good time for Christmas
Our club magazine AWheel has been one of the main ways we let our diverse membership know what is going on in the club.
We have been looking for a new editor since Covid interrupted publication, and the good news is Steve O'Hara has stepped up. The first edition will appear as soon as Steve has enough material - so you know what to do.....
We welcome contributions from club members. Submit to editor@solihullcc.org.uk
Every year we recognize the achievements and contributions of our club members., at our annual prize giving dinner and celebration. Join the club and you may become a champion.

The idea of the circuit was the brainchild of Harry Reynolds. It was Harry’s vision to create a traffic free, safe environment where the club could build its next generation of champions under the guidance of a group of fully qualified British Cycling coaches belonging to the Solihull CC.
The circuit is approx 850 metres long, 5 metres wide with a 6 metres finishing straight down the middle of the top. The profile of the circuit is labelled as ‘testing’ as Tudor Grange Park slopes away towards the Norman Green Athletics centre.
