Club runs - 3rd December
Posted: 27 Nov 2017 11:11
On a bitterly cold day on Sunday, there were 25 riders dressed up like Nanook of the North on the 3 club rides. Thanks to Andy, Phil and Dave for leading the A, B and C respectively and what fine rides they all were. Just like hearing the first cuckoo of spring, hearing the first plaintive calls of 'ice' as we ride on quiet lanes is an annual feature, and how reassuring it is that so many ride despite such conditions. H&S gone mad.
It's the Beacon dinner this Saturday night, and Jess has deservedly won NINE trophies after her stellar year. I've advised her to walk up and receive them only once, but take a team of sherpas with her to carry the silverware home....and Matt Clegg and Simon Dighton aren't far behind with their multiple trophies. Congratulations to all the winners, even Philip Whiteman who has stolen my audax trophy with some secret squirrel rides this year...only joking, Philip your 4,000kms of audax riding has put my lowly 3,000kms to shame.
...and as it is the Beacon big night out, club run attendance may be affected...but if you're not going, or are determined enough to do both, then we have a couple of club runs for your delectation. These are:
Combined A and B ride at B-ride pace: Warwick - Paul Johnson
C: Lavender Hall - Simon Woodward
Intro ride: Leader and support required...if not, we'd encourage new riders to join Simon's C-ride this week.
