Photo of the jersey in Munchen - the club has gone international!

Thorper in Munich…….

The Ravensthorpe jersey is now being proudly worn out on the Munich roads (and attracting lots of admiring looks) - and with a brand new Beone Storm gleaming beneath me, and wrap around sunglasses to hide the wrinkles, I almost look like a serious cyclist!  Been having great fun during the winter keeping fit sliding round in the ice and snow off road (no Thorpers doing cyclo-cross anymore?), so now am looking to do some TT’s this spring - will let you know the results if they are anywhere near decent.  Great to see the club thriving, and so many of you racing and posting some good times for March.  This blog is very very cool, great job from whoever set it up!!

Former Thorper Back on the Bike

Hi there,

When wasting some time on the net I came across the Club’s web site, and so am very pleased to be able to get back into contact with you. A couple of the older members may still remember me, I did a bit of racing back in the seventies in the Ravensthorpe jersey. I am back on two wheels again, but no where near being competition fit, or even club-run fit, but enjoying it. Am in Germany at the moment after many years out in Asia, so now I am a bit closer to home would be good to keep in contact with the club again. If you can figure out a way for me to pay the membership, and buy a jersey, I would be really happy to sport the Ravensthorpe colours on the roads around Munich. If anyone wants to get in touch with me, this e-mail is ok, or I can be contacted by phone on +49 176 17272 155 Cheers, Rob Ward
