Club run 31/10/09

Dave, Just a quick thank you for todays route :-) Good to see a big turn out and a good presence from the Climb on boys !

 Bit unfortunate mechanical / puncture wise but a different route which unfortunately due to time lost we had to have a dash back to Tenbury along the main road and whether it was the warm weather or the end of ride cake calling, the pace rose and not one to miss the cake it would of been rude not to keep up ;-)

Good fun and look forward to our next ride :-)

Pre-Christmas Social Rides

Hi All – just a quick update on the social rides that we have coming up this side of Christmas.  After a great turnout at the first ride last Saturday, we are back in the (roughly) fortnightly cycle of regular rides from the shop.  We will be trying to provide a bit of variety in the rides so will be changing the ride leader around a bit so that they don’t all end up being too hilly (i.e. if led by me!).  The next few dates are:

  • 31st October – Ride leader:  Dave Powell
  • 21st November (a 3 week gap!)
  • 5th December
  • 19th December – but this one is a BIG social ride.

The big social ride on 19th December will be a mini-sportive, called the Winter Warmer, similar to the Spring Challenge.  It will be fully sign posted and longer than the normal social rides at 40-45 miles, with hot soup, roll, tea, cake etc at the end.  It will be run in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust and will cost £6 to enter, with a 100 rider limit (restricted by parking limitations – won’t be able to use the field as it will be too soft).  All details and a link to the entry system (on-line only) are on the shop’s home page (http://www.epic-cycles.co.uk).

End of an era ?

Just a quick post to congratulate Phil and Anna together with all those involved in the organisation of the Autumn Epic sportive :-) After so many years of promoting events  both are taking a very well deserved break !

Yesterdays events is receiving rave reviews from the punters on both cyclosport and bikeradar :-) Well done to you both, perhaps other events will attempt to come up to the very high standards you have set over the years ;-)

Oh and most importantly, is there any cake left over from yesterday ha ha ;-)
