Hello OxfordTri Family!
I hope that you have had a great week. As this goes out many of us will be partying away at our End of Season Awards Dinner at Oxsrad and so as a result it seems only fitting that this newsletter should be short and sweet.
I want to encourage you all to take a moment over the next couple of days to reflect back on your sporting season/year. Perhaps you have knocked down barriers you never thought that you you could even reach or perhaps this season has been one of gradual comebacks or perhaps it’s been one that you are looking to forget. The beauty of seasons are that they are constantly changing and often we are able to look ahead with excitement for whatever the future brings be that next season or the one after that. My hope and prayer is that next season will be one filled with happiness, success and perhaps the odd medal or too.
I hope you all have a great weekend.
God Bless
Craig

Hi
Not sure if this is the correct avenue to ask this?
I was thinking of getting the Saturday (changed from Sunday) Social Turbo sessions started again to see us through the “i dont want to bike in that” winter months
Does the club still have a Zoom account we could use for these sessions
Planning to kick off this week (11th Nov) if 👍
Thanks
Chris
