Club runs - 12th August
Posted: 06 Aug 2018 09:59
So we had 23 riders out on club runs this Sunday, on what was possibly the hottest club run day of the year. A storming 200kms+ A-ride saw 7 riders start in Barnt Green to meet up with the Tramping the Two Loops Audax, where Alan, Si and Sarah also rode and therefore also nab club points...
Great to see the C-ride do the '100 in as long as it takes' and bluntly it didn't take very long at all, great riding, chaps.
...and thanks to Phil G (we have our very own 'G') for leading the B-ride also. A steamy day, wasn't it!
and I don't know about you, but I'm addicted to dot-watching at the moment, and have Adam Green, Stu White and the current leader James Hayden on repeat...for those few of you who don't know what I'm talking about, this is the Transcontinental race from Belgium to Greece, where the route takes them north for 1000kms away from Greece, simply because it can...the organisers have also placed the controls on top of mountains, which is amusing of them, eh? ...if you haven't caught up with Stu's daily facebook videos, you really should, they're comedy gold!
Anyway, club runs go on, and this week we have a retro+ C-ride with George Barker. To be honest, I'm not sure what this is, but no doubt George will set out below what is in in his own inimitable way. Please can we have A and B ride leaders this week please, it looks cooler so throw away your gorilla suits and re-join Beacon.
This week's rides are:
A: Destination TBC - Nick Shenton
B: Volunteer required
C: Retro+ Ride to Charlecote - George Barker
