sunday report
11/12/2011 by phil johnson.
Today at the meet were el prez, Martyn, Craig j, rich c, Spindler john, Mike k, and me your v captain fry up. With the weather forecast poor for the day we agreed to go to rossis, and if it came better maybe going on a little more but it never did, with the rain setting in around Wyke. Our passage to rossis was via Bradford and manningham lane and all the talk was about where the real men were this cold wet sunday morning, were they now on pecket well? cragg vale? or maybe when the going gets tough they were still tucked up in bed more like. Anyhow, once at the cafe all thoughts were on hot coffee and buttys, for the record, sausage and egg with plenty black pepper[ sorry Craig]. Our route home was over the tops and back into the now ever so slightly heavier rain. For the next month or so i will be picking a route on the day due to the weather becoming worse but will keep it a way so we can get home for 2.

I have been waiting for a couple of people to get back to me, but the clothing order will be going in this Friday. I have orders from Phil R, Rob H, Mike K, Dave H, Steve G, John P and Howard N.
I will try to make it to the clubroom on Thursday to check if anyone else needs anything, but if you could all pass the word round to any members you speak to that may not use the blog or facebook.
Thanks.

Wet , Cold and Windy club run 04/12/11
04/12/2011 by johnthewliss.
At the library were Alastair W , Mick K , Rob H , Paul B , Martyn B, Young Lewis , John S and Myself the Mad one , OOps i think Brad joined us at john cottons .
I already had a ride in my head that did’nt involve a stop today but i believe some did so from the off Alastair and myself decided on a hilly run and the rest set off to Rossi’s on a flatter route , Those of you who went to Rossis please write a post.
Al and i went through Brighouse and up to Hipperholme and then over to Denholm , down the hill towards haworth were we turned left to Peckett well Half the way up by the pub it started sleeting , by the top it was full on ice and snow , it was freezing,on the way down it got worse . i for one could not see a thing through my glasses but could’nt take them off it was so cold , every breath was a swear word and i think i used them all.
At the bottom Alastair was waiting and all he could say was feck cragg vale i can’t feel my fingers and toes , i had to agree we set off home at a fast rate but al was too fast and we split ,
we both arrived home around the same time he in huddersfield me in thornhill both frozen to the bone , glad to have done the ride but its the last for the year i have resigned myself to a warm garage and the rollers so untill the new year .
Have a very merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year
my stats are
50.1 miles
14.9 mph
and very cold
