Sunday Club Run

There's a chance I might be able to do my annual club run on Sunday, are a few of you intending to be out?

Helen, where are you planning to go, hopefully somewhere that's got a fair few upward bits because I can certainly use the practice.

As it's a while since I've come on a club run, how fast are you going on the flat bits these days, 18+ would be nice, but if you do 15ish I'd probably be better going for 3 or 4 hours on my own.

Dont think helen is doing it this week, think Dave C is leading?, I think its to the dales this sunday, from what I find the speed is usually around 15-22mph on the flats allthough take 1-2mph off that as my speedo was abit dodgy.

Hi Steve
Dave c will be leading this weeks club run.
Speed on the flatter sections normally faster than 15 unless its sunny and the views are good or someone is suffering.

Hello

Interested in coming on my 1st club run this Sunday.

Know the kick off time is 09.00 but can anyone give me some good directions to the square (I'm coming in from near Pocklington) and any tips on where to leave the car if I'm feeling too lazy to cycle in? Thanks

Also, what sort of distance is planned for this week?

Cheers
Simon

Head towards York, straight on over the ring road and then, if driving, follow signs and park in the Park & Ride. Ride into York (A1079) through a few lights to traffic lights with city wall in front, go right down Foss Islands road, when you get to the lights near bridge go straight on along one way system (this is all on the inner ring road). At next lights straight on Lord Mayors Walk (you will see Minster on left). At next lights left down Gillygate, at next lights straight on and the Exibition Square is on your right.

Hope this helps

The ride will be around 70/80 miles.

If you are going to the TT tomorrow, see you there, I am on the sign on desk.

"Sunday club rub? Whats one of them then?"

Sounds far more than just *social*...

Quite a different sort of club ( I hope!) - although wearing skin-tight clothing may be involved somewhere there too I suspect.....

I've only just noticed that it says rub, how bizzare, B is next to N though.

Thanks to Dave et al for a great ride out today.

Despite losing an argument with a kerb, I plan to be back for more.

Cheers

What was the ride like?, where did you go in the end? I decided not to go as my legs felt rubbish this morning.
