harry did a sterling job handling the entries for the GHS reliability ride and about 15 riders were at dewsbury for the start.  Brad rolled in on the 5th chime of nine  o’clock!

 Riders from bradford and batley also were there and we may attract some to Thorpers web site in the future.

 Thorpers were Suggy, Neil Bates, Rob Krawczuk (?) Phil’s brother in law from Thirsk, Phil J, Craig J, Jim Kirrane ( making a rare excursion into group riding!!) Mick the ref, Mike the teach, Brad ,Martin  and Martyn

 Phil R and Karen appeared at the cafe on the tandem so points there Al!

 The good weather saw a return to larger crowds at Pcoklington gardens, although the fish lake was very murky but looked well stocked

 As riders settled into their comfotr zones, Brad, Teach and martyn went with 4 riders from est Bradford, one of whom Eddie was a very strong rider and large enough to shelter behind

At Cawood the wakefield club with about 16 riders cruised past on their Sunday run to Boothferry, so we  chased them and sat at the back until Sutton on Derwent

 We saw the Thorpers groups at Pock arriving in various groups

 EBCC set off from Pock at a brisk pace, and after our legs had warmed up we chased them down catching them at Cawood, where a stray rider wiith a broken chain was helped , some riders set off and again ew chased, and chased catching them near Sherburn

The ride was, as the name implies a test of reliability for things to come ,and our group landed back with harry at 3.20pm having lost 15 mins at Cawood, and had 45 mins in the gardens at Pock.
