The castle hall to Whitehall ride is now  massing at the school ( off Crowlees rd , Mirfield  ….that’s next to Rounding Towers!)  at 0830 for a 9 o clock start, a good chance for the thorpers jerseys to get seen and possibly attract new members

 We will ride through the town centre and along the Greenway to Huddersfield ,  then onto Aspley, through waterloo and up to the Sovereign.  Ideal route for the Windmills gang to accompany us on and swell the ranks?

 Sadly we won’t have time to stop at the windmills this week as it is on through Wortley, down into Sheffield and away onto parts of the map never seen before.

 Hopefully we will make ravensthorpe by sunset some 100 miles later, which sounds like Alastair’s map reading but will actually be near watford gap.

 Sunday a blast down the A5 with thoughts of the old london-Holyhead   previously won by our own Albert hitchen and contested by tommy and others in our minds, through wembley the day after the rugby final ( god knows what the hotel will look like!)

 then into the heart of london without paying congestion charges!!

 see you saturday
