pain in the pennines

We may all be sick of sportives by now but here’s another with places still available.. Pain In The Pennines 15th june who’s up for it…….

Coast to Coast

Hello Thorpers, 

It’s been mentioned before, but I’ll mention it again. Hudds Star Wheelers have organised a van /driver/etc.. for twelve of their members to go to Morecambe to do the C2C ride off their own back, as the normal organised event is not running this year. Four of us expressed interest to HSW to join them, however they are now full with their own riders. Is anyone interested in sorting out our own transport to do the same, on the same day as HSW - 5th July 2008. They have managed to get the price down (via use of club funds, a bit of sponsorship etc..) to $15 per person. I would like to make an official request to use club funds to part fund this event, though it may mean we end up paying a little more than $15, depending on the number of riders who are defo interested.

So far we have interest from the following people:

Me

Martyn Bolt

Matt

Martin Lucas

My dad

It is not a prerequisite that your name starts with M, though this would look nice……..

Anyone else interested? Remember - 5th July - not a lot of time left.

Sportives

I’m, in for the Etape

What time are you starting so we can at least get a start photo together, martin got in the examiner this week showing his best side, head down looking at his bike!

Star wheelers are looking at a morecambe to scarborough ride, 5 July check out their forum for latest news, sounds good!

Kirklees Event

spot the club top in this month’s Cycling plus! 

However, spot the lack of Thorpers who have entered the ride unlike the Star wheelers who are there in force.
