Website Improvements

Hello everyone,

Luke and I have been working on some improvements to the website over the last month or so. The majority of the updates have been things that can't be visually seen on the website including optimising the website to try make pages load faster and improving the naming of webpages.

Some of the new features we have been working on include:
- A new "Quick Links" widget on the homepage which now has links to a lot of popular websites and information.
- A Marketplace page that will now show the bikes and other merchandise for sale by the group itself or group members.
- A special page dedicated to Bike Week (not finished yet).
- A Cafe Gazette listing a lot of the popular stops for our rides and the opening times (not finished yet).

I have also made some documentation updates to the website as well:
- The August and September rides list is live on the website.
- The August Evening and Saturday posters have been added to the respective pages.

As always Luke and I value feedback about the website and we are passionate about using the website to it's full potential so if you have any feedback about the website you can visit our "Contact" page and drop us an email with feedback.


Dan.

Blazing Saddles - July 2013 Update

Here is your July monthly update for our Blazing Saddles competition!

Although the rain has given us a few wet days in July, the sun and warm weather has been out in full force helping us to enjoy some of the great rides that have been organised.

Alan Baxter is still holding onto the lead in the mens on 117 points with Jim Brown holding on to second place with 104 and Richard Button despite his injuries still in third place on 67.

In the ladies, Lynn Bonnici is still in first place with 74 points. Elaine Walker is holding on to second on 68 with Jackie Cooper very close on her heels on 67 points. Could there be a change to second place by the end of August?

In the juniors we have Lauren Higham in first place with 29 points and Sean Browne is second with 24. Kieran Higham is in third place on 16 points.

If you want to see the full list of results then head on over to our Blazing Saddles page.
