At the library were Alex,Doug,Mick the ref,Big Rob,Ben,Phil J,Paul ,Rubber Jonny,and myself Mad , If i’ve forgot someone i’m very sorry at the moment the brain has a lack of oxygen,

Off we set to Tickhill firstly in the direction of hopton hill just to warm the legs then to lower cumberworth and up to penistone road were we had our first taste of the head wind and yes it was like pedaling into a brick wall , at this point mick and paul left us to lunch at wigfield, the rest of us carried on towards wentworth were we hit a snag or several .

And this is how jonny got called rubber 3 i’ll say it again 3 punctures in one hit ,Down a pot hole to pucture front and back and after changing the back he changed the front only to notice the back was going back down. so there we have it not throwing said rubber in a near by bush he carried it all the way to the cafe ,new nick name born “RUBBER” Jonny.

Off we set again into yet more head wind and ten minutes down the road and another puncture ,this time Doug but super Doug and his pump was back on the road in five minutes but by this time the child of the group started How long now before the cafe ,its getting late can we go a bit faster how long did you say ,

Well on our way and 45 minutes down the road we hit tickhill for lunch various ways of eggs ,beans , cheese and toast and fry up with his usual full monty after some good laughs and some good grub it was time to return home .

off we went in the direction of doncaster at asteady pace well ben and i thought it was steady until we looked behind and there was no one to be seen so we waited and rejoined then we set off again and the same happened again so we resigned to settling in to a steady 15 mph to keep together. and we stayed that way most of the way home untill wakefield were the group split as people went home .

awesome companyn good ride good food ,Hated the wind.

Mad John
