Club runs -12th Feb
Early post this week...
We managed four runs on Sunday, and over 30 riders, a good turnout for another wintry day. Thanks to Ian for the impromptu A-run, and the Neil and John for very popular B and C runs. Special thanks to George for leading the Intro ride, and welcome to those on their first club run. Come again, sometimes, we even dress in summer garb.
We're in a February lull for leaders, pre-Snowdrop Audax before a rush to volunteer afterwards, so take advantage of this and ...well, you know what to do. This week's rides are:
A: Volunteer required
B: Alcester - Andy Deere
C: Destination TBC - Helen Jamieson

Being a wuss, I'm gonna call it early... Due to my dislike of road bikes and slippery surfaces (and a certain "aqua planing" incident last year!!) I won't be leading the C run tomorrow.
However if anyone fancies going out on the mtb's, let me know.
Cheers

On the unofficial second C ride today:
Andy Terry
With reports of 'arctic conditions' back home, we started out with temperatures in mid-20s by riding through Medellin city (they close some of the roads to cars on Sundays) to the base of the main climb.
Ascending 1,076m over 25km I managed to uphold the Beacon honour by taking 3rd on the segment today. After re-fuelling (soup, meat, rice, potato) we continued with a tough undulating section through cattle country to our final destination Santa Rosa de Osos.
