Club Run Sun 5th Thrybergh Country Park (part two)
30/01/2012 by Al and Sarah.
Hi everyone I’m back from a great time in Florida and are now looking forward to getting back in to the swing of real life. The club run this coming Sunday we will be trying to reach Thrybergh Country Park for the second time after our failed attempt on the 8th Jan??? The following Sunday (12th) I will have to miss has it’s my youngest’s first birthday so Fryup will be in charge again but it is also the Batley bash which I’m sure lots of you will want to attend..
Sunday the 26th is the 60 in 6 from Brighouse which will be the club run for that Sunday but can anyone please confirm the details for me (start time, route and entry fee if there is one).
Dates for 120 ride and Lynda’s ride are still to confirm but I’m thinking June for the 120 and I will catch up with Dave and see what his plans are for Lynda’s ride but if Dave does intend to do it then I think we should support it with a big Thorper turn out??
OK thats it for now hope to see lots of you this coming Sunday.
Cheers Alex
Club Run Sun 8th Thrybergh Country Park
04/01/2012 by Al and Sarah.
Right where was I before I got rudely interrupted??? OK everyone it’s good to be back and planning a Club Run again, so to kick off with I thought we would go somewhere we have not visited before and that is the Lakeside Cafe at Thrybergh Country Park. The ride is approx 65miles with no silly hills but far from flat but dont let that put the RMR riders off as I’m far off club run fitness and all you RMR’s can push me as part of your fitness plan?? All this will be as always dependent on weather and if needs be we can cut it short and stop at Wigfield Farm.
Fingers crossed for good weather and a big turn out, it will be great to see you all again. Happy New Year, cheers Alex.
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.

Update on Alex
23/08/2011 by Al and Sarah.
Alex has asked me to post a message on here to update everyone in one go - we received the results today from his biopsy and it is something called a seminoma which is a germ cell cancer that originates in the testes. We have a clinic appt tomorrow at Leeds to hopefully find out more. We know he will need more tests and scans and most likely 9 to 12 weeks chemotherapy. Thankyou for everybody’s messages of support.

Club Run 26/06/11 Brambles Cafe
23/06/2011 by Al and Sarah.
There seems to be a thirst for hills in the club at the moment ( well Doug says there is) so for this Sundays club run the plan is to head south covering every back road and hill in the process with a dinner stop at Brambles Cafe at Elsecar Heritage Centre.. The mileage is small but the hills will make up for it.. Hope to see you all Sunday… Alex..

Ravensthorpe CC 120th Anniversary Celebration Ride 5/06/11
19/05/2011 by Al and Sarah.
OK folks not long now to our 120 mile celebration ride so I hope your all ready (not sure I am!) for the challenge. I would just like to confirm the details that we will be leaving Mirfield library at 8am on Sunday 5th June. We will be first heading for Tadcaster and then up the lovely country roads through lots of villages including Easingwold and Kilburn and then the big climb of the day up White Horse Bank. The return route will be down Sutton Bank and across country again to boroughbridge, Wetherby, Garforth and home. Stops will be available at Tadcaster, Easingwold, Sutton Bank, Boroughbridge and Wetherby but will be dependent on the group and I suggest all riders have back pocket snacks. This ride is not a race but the chance to celebrate 120 years of our wonderful club so come on everyone lets have a great turn out and a great day.. Hope to see you all soon Alex..
