Thixendale Spirograph, Sunday 26th
Posted: Tue Mar 21, 2017 9:33 pm
The original and best, oft' copied, never bettered.....
Climb each of the 6 significant road ascents out of Thixendale village without doing a U-turn. This necessitates quite a few extra bumps in between! You'll know you've been out.
A better name for this ride may have been the Thix Deja-Vu, but Spiro it is (because if you trace the route on a map it looks like the pattern from one of those old fashioned sprirograph toys (younger readers may have to google it).
I see there is a Saturday equivalent planned by Bernard. If you're planning to switch from A ride to this, then you must let the regulars set their Bernard/Kevin pace - it's good cycling etiquette. Don't shred it. If you want to ride your normal A pace then you should be out with us on Sunday. Nuff said.
So, hope to see a few of you in The Square at 0900 on Sunday. Should be a hoot.
