Re: Club Runs - 27th January
Sunday’s weather is forecast as cold and blustery so a good opportunity to try a new destination and bacon sandwich establishment.
The route will be approx 73 miles BH to BH.
Slightly longer on the outward journey to the cafe at around 40 miles, 33 on the return leg.

Re: Club runs - 12th August
Sunday’s weather is currently looking like we’ll be needing a rubber dingy instead of a bike.
But.....I’m daft enough to still ride anyway, so the plan is a non stop Beacon Burst 50-60 miles.
If the weather miraculously changes there will be a revised plan.
