Club runs - 22nd October
Posted: 16 Oct 2017 08:54
On what has been a fabulous year of achievement for Beacon members this year, with TT records going, racing success and triathlon and track world and European champions, there was another huge success at the weekend. I know I congratulated Chris Ashford on his 2hrs 29mins marathon in Chester last Sunday, whereas yesterday, he ran another 2hr 30mins marathon but WON the inaugural Birmingham Marathon in front of some 8,000 other runners. Chicken dinner! Heartiest congratulations to Chris, his fizzog was all over Midlands Today last night and snippets of his success can be seen here:

...and in what must be a one of Beacon's most widely active weekends, well done to all those at the Thruxton closed circuit TT yesterday, and crits and cx and mtb events....oh and there were also some club runs.
An eventful A-ride with wasp stings and a mad rush to make breakfast at Cobhouse was highly entertaining due to it's macabre discussions on killing things at the café, where we learnt that 'throttling a squirrel' is not a euphemism. Thanks also to Alan and Matt, and then Si for leading the B and C rides respectively. We had around 20 riders out at the weekend, so I encourage others to join these club runs as your racing, TT or other events subside for the Autumn.
This week's rides are:
A: Codsall - Nick Shenton
B: Volunteer required
C: Volunteer required
