Hello!
It’s a bumper packed newsletter this month, with everything from cycling while pregnant to rides to Windsor; from ‘going Dutch’ to consultations on Twickenham; and from local and Mayoral elections to campaigning for safer streets. Come along to our next meeting to find out more and in the meantime, happy cycling!
Monthly Meeting
Our next meeting has been moved from its usual Monday slot to Wednesday 11th April at 8pm on account of it being Easter.
Held in The Old Ship pub in Richmond, it’s an excellent opportunity to get involved. Location details here - http://is.gd/iT8qch
Rides
Paul, our Rides Coordinator, continues to organise a great selection of rides for all abilities. You can read about our previous outings online (http://is.gd/mqQzSg). Why not bring along a non-cycling friend to one of our upcoming rides?

On Saturday 28th April, we shall be leading a feeder ride to central London for LCC’s ‘Big Ride’, the UK’s largest family-friendly traffic-free bike ride in 2012 calling for safer streets, part of the ‘Go Dutch’ campaign (http://is.gd/Z5RjKC). We’ll leave Richmond Little Green at 10am to ride to the assembly point in Hyde Park and with a led ride back to Richmond after the event. More details here http://is.gd/yrHU9t

Go Dutch
LCC has launched its ‘Go Dutch’ Campaign to get the London Mayoral candidates to commit to continental cycling infrastructure in the capital. You can read more about the campaign on the LCC website (http://is.gd/xwoQT5) and this video (http://is.gd/22eilW) and this one (http://is.gd/5ZYSLM) illustrates just how good things can be.

Hello,
Richmond Cycling Campaign wishes everyone a merry christmas and a happy new year.
We’d like to suggest a new year’s resolution: encourage at least one person you know to go out on their bike at some point in the year. Why not try one person a month?
2012 promises to be a bumper year for cycling – there’s the Summer Of Cycling events (http://www.summerofcycling.net) and possible success in the Tour de France and the Olympics. Don’t forget that the road race goes through the borough and the time trial starts and finishes in Hampton Court. Both should be wonderful displays of athletic prowess.
There’s a few months to get through before summer and the Olympics, so here are our rides and events to help you make it through and to aid with that new year’s resolution. Why not get someone to come on our Box Hill ride or
attend a maintenance workshop? And don’t forget that the Kingston, Ealing, Wandsworth and Hammersmith campaigns have rides as well - http://lcc.org.uk/events
