Its time for that thread again....
Lots going on as usual at the moment. RR at Little Weighton? Big training group on Saturday? Would be good to hear from Kevin's Saturday gang!
I have two events to report on:
Firstly the Clifton mtb Family Day on Saturday was great fun. There were 14 riders doing some proper off roading in the morning on the red/black routes. Picnic in the kiddy's playground followed by the younger cliftonites (the under 11s) going round some of the blue route for 90 mins. Highlights for me were that twirly swing in the park, Gill's banana cake and watching Mark take 3 year old Jacob down some very fast descents in his trailer! Thanks to Paul and Gill for organising. Let's do it again!
On Sunday Anthony, Andy S, Keith, Nick, Willy and myself hit the roads for the 241km of The Yorkshire Alps. Completed in 11-27, 30 mins quicker than last year due to the benign conditions and the undoubted athletic prowess of the riders(!) Can't believe Anthony and Andy taking each other on in a head to head on Fan Carl after 180km! All good fun, but enjoyed eating some proper food when I got home!
