Club Runs - 14th April
Posted: 08 Apr 2019 10:32
Congratulations to all the organisers, marshals, timekeepers and riders of course at the Little Mountain Time Trial on Sunday. This is perhaps, Beacon's most prestigious event, and a big thanks to James Tate for taking on the organisation this year! There were lots of other Beacon volunteers there, to ensure a great day that puts Beacon's name up there in lights. Top riding from many Beacon members, with particular credit to Matt Clegg as second fastest road bike, behind (friend of this parish) Richard Bussell, and to Ian Taylor for the most improved rider, taking some 12 minutes off his time last year, all the time wearing a warm smile of pleasure the whole way around. Congratulations to all the riders. Amazing that someone can ride that route in 1hour 29mins, a new course record...
Well done also to all those who raced at the Birmingham Business Park on Saturday, and to the five Beacon riders at least on various 300kms audaxes over the weekend, the qualification rides for Paris-Brest-Paris (1200kms audax in France in August) are now coming thick and fast so watch out for them on strava. We hope to have Beacon's biggest every attendance at PBP this year.
Anyway, enough of last week, club runs are back this week! Hoorah, and we only need a B-ride leader for a full house, so you know what to do! This week's rides are:
A: Clive's fruit farm (Upton not Cropthorne) - Phil Richards (meet at 08:15 for 08:30 depart)
B: Wolverley - Matt Hale
C: Charlecote - Colin Groves (meet at 08:15 for 08:30 depart)
Women's ride on Saturday: Details here and on facebook.
