I was going to say not so many races going on now that Summer is over, but the Hill Climb season is in full swing, and lots of Beacon riders are skimping on their roast potatoes to ride these...a huge shout out to a fantastic turnout of Beacon riders at this coming Sunday's National Hill Climb on Pea Royd Lane in Yorkshire...Be great if someone posts a review of the day onto the message board. It was also the Thruxton Closed Circuit TT races on Sunday, and kudos to all that rode...I spotted Gemma Johnson, Ian Taylor, George Thorne and Simon Dighton on the results page. Well done all.
It's also the marathon running month, and a few Beaconites ran the Birmingham half last weekend in the pouring rain, and talking of running, some of you may remember Leonie Balter who was over here for a year last year and rode regularly with Beacon and Brat. I noticed on strava that she ran the Amsterdam Marathon yesterday, and blitzed round in 2hrs 47mins... a fantastic time! She obviously benefitted from running the Timberhonger 10k a couple of times.
Anyway - Back to club runs...I can't lead this coming Sunday as originally envisaged, so we're back to requiring three leaders. I fully expect to send out another email asking similar on Friday, but why not delight me by getting your name down early this week, or indeed, putting your name down for any week on the other thread...
This week's rides are:
A: Cosford - Nick Shenton
B: Either Arley with Richard Leaper or Warwick with Phil Gameson - decide on the morning, there will either be a wrestling or chess challenge at 09:00 to decide

C: Worcester Garden Centre - Dave Cole
