Summer Session Survey comments• “Cheryl - kudos for everything she did this summer bringing more women in. Also
more general point: the Condors are so friendly and welcoming. A bl**dy brilliant bunch of people to be a part of!”
• “I'd like to praise Jo and Cheryl for their dedication, enthusiasm, and leadership”
• “THANKS again for organising the women's sessions. This is the first time I actually enjoy going out on my road bike with a group.”
• “I joined the club shortly after taking part in the ladies summer sessions. I have been made to feel welcome by every single club member I have met. I'm proud to be a part of the club and thankful it exists in Oxford.”
• “Massive kudos again for the ladies summer sessions, fabulous and so welcoming. Would be great to see a bridge between those and regular rides i.e. faster than the summer sessions but not quite as fast as the socials! Just to help the girls segway into the club.”
**19 new members as a result of Sessions**

TRAIN, TRAIN, TRAIN…….But do we train too much?Shadders arranges a talk by Dr Richard Baskerville on
Overtraining syndrome

OXFORDSHIRE RR LEAGUE – WOMEN'S TEAM- Our ladies had a great season, taking the overall club win!- Laura leads the league but is overhauled at the last, taking a
very credible 2nd overall to Lydia Brookes of GS Henley- A whole raft of new ladies try races, with nearly half of the
field at the Dalton Barracks race being Condors!

HILL CLIMB PAINA great event, ably organised by Cathy, Brett and Richard Q- A field of 40 battled it out on Hill Road (A.K.A Christmas
Common) on a foggy September morning- Dan Bigham took the overall, with a new course record! (I
think?)- Matt T turns up late and somehow manages to put in a
massive performance for the Condor men's win!- Cathy Naylor, battles it out with Aimee and comes away with
a well deserved win – which she consolidates by handing out pain to all the boys on the Wales trip a week later.
![Page 42: Cowley Road Condors AGM 2015 slides](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58ab23441a28abb5278b5a29/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Club Survey• 1st time club has conducted such a survey
• 64 completed the survey. 46% of members – fantastic!
• Generate action points to help guide board in 2015/16
• Will be ran annually or when club embarks on a new initiative
**Always want your feedback**
![Page 45: Cowley Road Condors AGM 2015 slides](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58ab23441a28abb5278b5a29/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Club Survey – Some Highlights• 88% were happy they could find the right ride group for them.• 58% rated ride leading at 4 out of 5 (5 being superb). 33%
scored ride leading at 5 out of 5.• 51% thought £30 membership fee was about right. 46%
thought £30 was a bargain or would pay more – no immediate plans to increase!• 96% were happy to volunteer time at Condor events• 80% have recommended the Condors to a friend or colleague!• 97% cast a vote of 3 – 5 indicating they believe the club is
democratic in the sense members’ views are recognised and are helping to shape the club.
![Page 46: Cowley Road Condors AGM 2015 slides](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58ab23441a28abb5278b5a29/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• Better promotion of member benefitsNo promises on these though: “Clippings from Jonny's beard (only for those paying online and early, perhaps)”“Presidential massages”
• Further ride skills and sessions, to include:• Time Trial training techniques• Nutrition• Race Training rides• Winter Training• Cornering• First Aid sessions
• Clear development pathways for riders of all abilities – including men & women working closer together in certain areas, e.g. Training activities.
• A greater variety of social events, including daytime activities.
• KTFUOFTFO – decision to be made on future. Move to racing side of the club?
Club Survey – Good insights
![Page 47: Cowley Road Condors AGM 2015 slides](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58ab23441a28abb5278b5a29/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
• Website functionality additions:• Expansion of Route Library on website with more GPX/TPX files. Benefit of giving
ride leaders more confidence.• Website document repository:
• Newsletters• Skills session guides• Ride Leader training material
• More bike maintenance sessions with partners such as Broken Spoke and/or Beeline
• Raise the profile of the board, in particular the duties each role carries out.
• One, perhaps, for the next board to decide on:• “I told Brett about this amazing idea I had for chain gang style speed dating. Other
people thought it was an awesome idea. Brett told me he would bring it up at the next meeting but I feel like he might have said that to stop me going on about it...”

Club Survey – some lovely feedback

• “I'd like to thank everyone who's contributed to the club in the past year - to me it seems to have grown hugely and very positively. Oxford's friendliest cycling club is still that, only bigger.”
• “I have enjoyed my cycling more than ever before this summer, met some fantastic people and I'm excited about winter training for the first time!”
Thank you!

Condors rides & Ride Leadership
A summary of the things we’re doing well and ways we’re looking to improve.
![Page 50: Cowley Road Condors AGM 2015 slides](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081515/58ab23441a28abb5278b5a29/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Condors Rides “Hoping that there will be some slower social groups/rides for newbies just joined from the ladies' summer sessions”
“I think the social-dev ride is a great addition” "On occasion riders on the screamer are strong enough but don't have the bike handling experience, might be worth stressing more that the screamer is only for experienced riders.”
“Generally fine, only problem is people sometimes going faster than advertised.” “I think Tom's idea of 'change up Tuesday' once a month is excellent and we should definitely bring this in. It will help people progress more easily and mix with others. I'd like to see more weekend options for social riders. Fast people can go on any ride they like but slower/newer people usually only have one option they have to take or leave.”
“The influx in membership means that there now tend to be enough groups going out to find a good crowd at the right speed”

Condors Rides - considerations• Advertising of rides. Not everyone has access to social media at their work-place.
• When weekly rides are posted. Feedback received indicating detail of rides are often posted too late in the day, especially on weekends, meaning it’s hard to plan.
• More riders need to know/learn routes or add the ride route to a GPS device.
• Beeline in winter – grass next door will be wet. Need to ensure we don’t dominate the pavement area.
• A mechanism to report back incidents or concerns experienced on a ride.
• New riders to only come on Tuesday evening rides in winter months.
• Post ride meeting venue - a highlight for many. Consider new venues due to Rick’s bike storage limitations.

Ride Leadership“excellent - so friendly, helpful, interested, inclusive, knowledgeable”
“It can be frustrating when people are in the wrong group so try to turn a medium ride into a fast one”
“Some medium rides have been a touch on the gung-ho side, with 'holes' being shouted rather than pointed at and new riders not being asked beforehand if
they've ridden in a group before and know the signals.”
“Once a leader was verbally aggressive with traffic, didn't really engage with the group, and got completely lost. Otherwise ride leading has been spectacular.”
“It is sometimes difficult for less experienced leaders to reign in faster group members”
“I think there are some 5* star leaders in the club”

Ride Leadership - considerations
Initiatives introduced:• Ride Leader forum (Facebook group)• Ride Leader training – expanding from social to include faster groups• Buddy system for new ride leaders• Ride Leader checklist – laminated card available at Beeline
• Organise ride groups closer to 6.15 than 6.30 to avoid pre-ride confusions.
• Ensure group know the average speed before departing, and policy on dropping. i.e. medium paced rides should be non dropping.
• Encourage ride leaders to train new groups and pass on experience
More recognition for ride leaders - They do a wonderful job
