44 riders! Yes, 44 riders were out on club runs at the weekend, which is XLIV in roman numerals...XLIV
Yep, that's a lot, which goes to show how much we've missed club runs throughout the winter... give a person a warm day, and on that bike they ride.
Thanks to the leaders for getting the rides posted early, namely Ian G, Paul Balfe, Nick Shenton, Jon Sadler, and Matt Hale, sturdy upright fellows all.
Less than (fewer than?) two weeks to the Snowdrop/Sunrise Audaxes now and it's great to see so many Beaconites entered. We have a full house of volunteers and the cafes/helpers are all poised, so we're hopefully good to go. Only fire and brimstone will stop us now... The rides close for entries on Wednesday for good, so surely there's no one still umming and ahhing about entering is there? Anyway, the door slams shut from Wednesday, as I need to get things printed and folded and arranged.
Another half-decent week is forecast weather-wise, so get your names down to lead again, tighten your seat posts and get out there.
See you soon, and say hello at the audax a week on Saturday at Whitlenge.
Regards
Phil
