Club runs on Little Mountain Time Trial (LMTT) weekend - Sunday 25th April

Post by WorcsPhil » 19 Apr 2021 23:07

What an excellent weekend to ride a bike that was, eh? Eight Beacon riders were out on Dr Philip Whiteman's mountainous 200kms audax, riding from dawn to dusk out to the Welsh border, but not over it!...big thanks to Philip for organising and well done to everyone who rode. A day that will live long in the memory...don't forget, Beacon are the premier audax club in the midlands, so, if you want to get into longer distance riding, you've come to the right place - have a word with the many randonneurs who will let you know where and when these events are happening.

Talking of mountains, this weekend is Beacon's prestigious Little Mountain Time Trial (LMTT), a 39-mile super hilly event with over 100 riders and a small army of Beacon organisers and marshals. As such, although we all can't gather in a big group at the refreshments hut, club runs are encouraged to go along to Martley, or Ankerdine hill, or Stanford Bank and see what this event is all about. I appreciate one club run has been organised already given my tardiness in getting this week's announcement out, and that is fine, but other riders are encouraged to support this event.

Marshals and organisers who ride out will get club run points, and official club runs will be back next week with renewed gusto.

A ride 25th April: Democratic decision to shorten (and flatten) the route a bit (130km). Great run in lovely weather:
