Sorry I haven’t written anything sooner, but I thought Fry-up was having a laugh when he asked me to write the blog…obviously not..so here goes.

On a nice and sunny Sunday morning the intrepid Thorpers set out to conquer 100miles..or there abouts, but by the time we got to Country Baskets 2 were already down! But in true Thorper style the rest of us battled on.

Appoligies now if I leave anyone out. Craig, Fry-up, Geoff, Jeremy, and myself made good progress on our own all the way to Cawood there we caught up with Otley cycling club and being true gentlemen let them go in front and sat on their back wheels. Upon entering Pocklington Fry-up stopped at a filling station and ordered Gingsters pies all round ( Bradley Wiggins eats them all the time)

At the check in point we met up with team Paul Dixon I think they’d been there for about an hour.. We set off back with 2 new recruits to our team, Les and Ben progress back was at a great pace with Les doing a lot of the leading when we reached Sherburn Fry-up decided we’d take the scenic route home which was very picturesque but probably another 10miles. The rest of the ride was mostly uneventfull until we reached Shaw Cross.. where..5 middle aged men and young Ben with a broken peddle decided to sprint for the finish..not a good idea as I realised when I got up on Monday and couldn’t move my legs!!! I don’t know the exact mileage or the average speed but a good day was had by all. (How did Martyn and David get back before us??)
