The aim is to build and improve on 2024.

The big trips are in hand – Wales, Mid-Summer Madness, Late Summer Madness, an excursion to the Massif Central and another, yet to be finalised, long ride weekend in Blighty (all will be revealed in due course in eNEWS@EKAM).

The Observers, as well as doing what they do, have plans for two weekend training rides this year (for more info read Iain’s Article). Dates for these are not yet set.

There will of course be a full program of social rides.

Social events and guest speakers are being planned to coordinate with Club Nights.

And there will be more.  For interest here is the provisional calendar of events for 2025 as it stands now.
