Club runs - 16th June
Posted: 10 Jun 2019 16:14
Excellent to see over 30 riders out on the three club rides this weekend. Unfortunately I wasn't one of them, as mummy's brave little soldier had the lurgy and could hardly summon the energy to lie on the sofa and watch the cricket...so thanks to Nick for leading the A-ride at short notice. Also, it's the second week that a parallel fast Beacon Burst has been arranged even though there was already an A-ride...thanks to Ian for leading and for blasting a team time trial around the leafy lanes of Warwickshire, no doubt with some riders tucked in so close to the back wheel of the rider in front, they could have reached forward and nicked the contents of their saddlebag.
Thanks also to Colin for leading the C-ride and Helen, who does indeed get club run leader points for representing Beacon on the Go Ride in Birmingham city centre.
Two club events this Saturday to be aware of...with the first of these being the Janet Kelly Memorial 10mile TT...with over 100 entrants, this should be a great event, why not go along and support if you're not riding, details on the 'Club Events' thread. In addition, and at the other end of the distance spectrum, weather permitting, we have a treat in store as it's Nick Shenton's 321kms ride from the Black Horse to the top of the Cat and Fiddle climb outside Macclesfield and back again. What fun....this leaves at 06:00 on Saturday, see the facebook post for details and updates.
So that means that Sunday's club rides are up for grabs, as many regular leaders will be on these club events the day before...another good week for a Beacon Burst, perhaps? Hopefully, the rides will be announced later in the week, but at present, this week's rides are:
A: Beacon Burst led by Neil Orchard (09:15)
B: Arlen Arboretum- Matt Hale (09:15)
C: Lavender Hall - Simon Turner
Saturday 15th June: Nick Shenton's 321kms ride to the Cat and Fiddle (leaves at 06:00)
