Fancy making a “fool” of yourself and risk bringing shame onto your entire family and Ravensthorpe CC :-)by getting outrageously togged up on New Years Day for a fun time trial around Hartshead circuit (4.6 miles)?

After the farcical shennanigans it is proposed we refresh ourselves in a local hostillary and refuel our  glycogen stores with post race recovery food (pie and peas!!) and drinks (real good, real ale (for the men), lager (for the other “men”) and a white wine sprizter for the ladies).

Everybody is obviously welcome to bring the family and/or friends.

Initial thoughts on venue are the Old Colonial in Mirfield but I will contact them in the next week to enquire. If anybody has contacts elsewhere please let us know and we can discuss and compare options. 

Lets all get together and kick the year off to a great fun start and have a reet gud laff!!!! (Just think it’s the first 4.6 miles of what could be a great year).

You know you want to!

Steve.

 P.S. Anybody who goes as one of Max Mosley’s “lady friends” risks the wrath of severe ridicule on youtube!!

There have been good reviews for all the marshals on the club 10 that was run today(12th April), a quote from www.timetriallingforum.co.uk “excellant marshalling and very little traffic. thx for putting the event on.” So all in all a great success and a thank you for all the helpers today from me as well.

Has anyone got the exact route of the course, I think we start near Faiburn on the old A1 but if anyone could map it on bikely.com or mapmyride.com it would be very helpful.

Also there is a sticky in timetriallingforum.co.uk that lists all courses and the course maps, I could then link from there.

Thanks, Steve.
