Greetings to you all from sunny/smoggy
Essex. Fear not even
though I am far away near the big smoke I have been working hard on
setting up
the bike ride. I hear there have been a few questions at the club about
the
what and the when so here goes. We will be meeting at the bears head pub
in
Brereton for 10:30-Originally I told some people 10 so please
spread the word about the new time.
From the pub we will split into two
groups, one for muddy
mountain bikers who like a bit of rough and a second for all you smooth
road
riders out there. Chris Brumby has kindly volunteered to lead the
Mountain
bikers on a route around Brereton and surrounding countryside for about 8
miles
or so finishing back up at the pub. I will lead the roadies around a
separate 9
mile loop course also around Brereton area, with the idea that each
rider can
do as many or as little laps as they like to build up extra mileage if
they so
wish.
In the true spirit of bike clubs there
shall be the opportunity
to get some food from the pub once you have got off your trusty stead, I
for
one will be having a nice Sunday lunch. I think it will be a good time
to chat
and discuss the rides and any future events we wish to plan. Sticking
with the
idea of the running club the cycle event will not be at all elitist and
both groups
will ride at the pace of the slowest rider so that no one gets lost or
left
behind. I hope this will be a fun event for all and something that will
broaden
the club.
Please let me know by email or text if
you will be attending
and which ride you will be doing, feel free to drag anyone else along
with you
who may enjoy it, club members or family etc.
Also if anyone wants to come along who
has not got a bike to
hand, Paul Nicholls has kindly offered the loan of his bikes, so please
contact
him if you would like to borrow one, I hear he does some very reasonable
rental
rates.
Thanks
and Regards
Chris
