Club Run Sun 19th Feb Burnley

On a lovely sunny morning 7 Thorpers gathered outside the library Jack, Fryup, Jonny, Brad, Geoff, Mike the ref and me (Alex). Jack said a brief hello and set of on his own to do a RMR and the rest of us after a short discussion headed for the cafe near Townley Hall Burnley.

Now I set off at a slow pace which then got slower and slower.. Thanks lads for waiting for me and sorry if I spoiled your ride.

The cafe was as always bursting and we soon filled the few remaining seats but the food was great and the service good if a little slow. The return trip was a little easier with a tale wind but our good progress was soon slowed when Jonny had a bike problem which resulted in him having to nurse his bike home, I was pleased by the slower pace mind you..

Todays mileage was 60 miles with a appalling average 14.5 mph (down to me).. Next week is the 60 in 6 so we will be meeting at the library at 08.30 so we can be at the Ritz in Brighouse and all signed on and ready to go for 09.00 remember your 2 pound entrance fee.

Hope to see a good turn out next week, cheers Alex..

    Great to hear you had a good ride. I set off on my own for a true Jens Ride (maybe that’s how we should call it, so if in doubt, we can always ask ourselves ‘What Would BF Jens DO?’….anyway, took the Queensbury route to Oxenhope, further to Wycoller and Trawden, then over Widdop (yeeha!, my legs still hurt) to Hebden Bridge, over the hill to Sow Bridge and back home. Close to 2000 mtr climbing in 62 miles…fantastic weather but I missed my Jens Ride Buddies…:-(

    Sorry didn’t make it lads. Actually felt ill yesterday so spent my time putting new brakes on one bike and new tyres on another. I felt like the Bicycle Repairman from Monty Python’s Flying Circus.
    Alex - you are expecting too much of yourself. Remember the hammering your body has just gone through? Take it slowly and gently. Treat your body like Ben treats his boys!

    Disgusting.

    Jack, glad you had a good ride, my wrist was still too weak to grip the bars (stop sniggering) but should be out again next week. Like the name “Jens ride…”
