sunday report

Today at the meet were Jack, El prez, Mike k, Paul b, Spindler john, and me .   Where”s all the Johns gone?   it wasn”t that long ago we would have 4 out on a sunday but they seem to have retired and put their bikes away to collect the dust, never mind,  all talk was of the ride and making sure we kept safe on the tricky road surface.   With this in mind we set of for squires cafe sticking to the gritted roads onwards for Garforth taking our normal route.  Sadly Paul got a  blow out to his rear tyre at Swillington and decided to call it a day.   so upto Garforth and onto the A63 we rode getting to the cafe in good time.  For the record sausage and egg with pepper on[ sorry Craig].  Home via Cas , Methley etc.  Next Sunday is Christmas day, and i wish you all well and merry[ Ben that means get pissed….. for you that means stay pissed] .   On boxing day there will be a ride out to Langsett with a 9.30 start so for those who want the points can you make a report please,   i will see you all the week after maybe with Alex back at the helm.  Lastly, just a reminder the grange do is now 4 week away and they want me to give some numbers in 2 weeks time , so if you can can make your minds up, put it down on this report or find the menu in Novembers report.

Windmills Cafe With Capitano

The capitano is starting his return! Am planning to go to the windmills on sat morning so wondering who else can make it out? Not sure how I’ll be as the biggest ride I’ve done so far is 11 miles but am hoping to do it, even if it is slowly! 9am at the bridge, hope to see some of you, weather permitting, as will be a struggle enough. Looking forward to it though, feels good to be back in the saddle, cheers Al.

Fri 16th Dec

Not working this friday if anyone fancies a steady ride, weather permitting mind.
