A toddle to tykes

Hi, Al is having trouble with his connections he says.

The club run today was to Tyes tearoom at tadcaster, a tortological twister! 

With temperatures hovering around zero Al the venerable runs captain led out, President Phil, new Phil, Dave ,Paul on his MTB myself and Craig showing of his new Borghini,( or was it Bogey?) bike which looked very good. 

 Looks aren’t everything though and as someone once said its not about the bike! 

Tea stop was Castleford where we swapped Dave and Paul for Doug, ( open goal there for someone)

 Up to Tadcaster via Sherburn and a cold head wind.  I think it was the first time Thorpers have been to Tykes and it seemed a very welcoming place with good portions. 

A swift ride back over Towton moor , garforth and Rothwell to be home to the warm bath by about 2.30

Being metric I made it 100.9 Kms from home and an average of 24.3.  Which I think is about 70 miles and just under 15mph?

see you  Thursday?
