I have been a member for some thirty years and think that last nights meeting was perhaps one of the best I have attended. The discussions and attitudes were so positive. Thanks to the new members for their contributions and offers to take on various positions. Thanks to Phil and Martin for the way they ran the meeting. Also thanks to Martin for setting up the possibility of a new clubroom ,well done. As they say in the advert. the future is THORPERS

A couple of years ago we ran a handicapped reliability ride. We can’t call it a road race!

We set off at different intervals from normal club start according to your riding/race times this year, through Todmorden, Hollingworth, and up Buckstones to finish at one of the pubs up there.

A distance of 40 miles, anyone who doesn’t ride can meet us at the pub and if we could get the numbers out we have been doing of late we could have a good ride.

With a good handicapping we should all start coming together on the Buckstones climb and have a good finish?

anyone interested?

After a week of promised dreadful weather , Sunday dawned clear with little wind but pretty cold. The 2008 season final club Time trial championship was won by Steve mcCall in a pb of 58.02. Other riders were Andy Cal in a pb of 58.45, Al Wareham in a debut 1.01.04 and the evergreen John Hatfield in 1.01.30. A very satisfactory day for the Thorpers !

Well done to Steve who nailed it with a superb display going so close to a 57 on only his second 25!

Chappeau to the men in green………………..Allez le vert.

Don’t forget there’s still the Club Hill Climb Championship on October 19th. This is the Huddersfield CA Ripponden bank course V999.
