It made me feel a bit bad that I know so little about our club direction and challenges apart from what I read in the annual report and the newsletters that get sent ... I live in a bit of a bubble where I don't see or think much about what happens beyond the training rides I do and the people I meet on them.
For example:
- most clubs are primarily focussed on racing, 'participation' is a secondary focus and advocacy not much of a priority at all;
- a lack of volunteers seems to be the biggest challenge faced by clubs; and
- Cycling Australia came in for a belting as not providing much support (as opposed to Cycling NSW who seem to be quite good). Which was especially irritating to read having just parted with another $99 membership renewal

Anyway I'd love to know more about what our challenges are
