club Run - Mirfield to Wigfield Farm 13/12/2009

13/12/2009 by Al and Sarah.

A freezing cold day welcomed 4 thorpers Alex, Jack, Martyn, Maurice and a new rider John for a ride out to Wigfield Farm. Good progress was made for a short distance when Maurice got a puncture, not great weather for changing a tube but quickly fixed off we set again for about 3 miles when Maurice punctured again.  This time his tyre had a large slash in it so a make shift repair was required….lots of time lost we decided to change the route to Langsett Cafe for lunch and do an extended route home via Penistone. Jack was lost during all this, i believe heading for Holme Moss! Not the longest of club runs at just 44 miles but with the weather and punctures it was just long enough for our (hopefully) new member John, who was just starting to blow as we reached Mirfield.
