Linda’s Ride 3rd Aug

Wondering if anyone is interested in doing Linda’s ride - 165 miles covering 4 highest peaks in each county of Yorkshire, in aid of Kirkwood Hospice and organised by Dave Sowerby in honour of his wife. I am doing it and wondered if anyone was free to join me ! I did it last year, a tough but enjoyable day, well supported and a great challenge. Its on Sunday 3rd August. If you can’t join me does anyone fancy sponsoring me ? Cheers.

New Years Day Fancy Dress Time trial:-) :-) !!!!!!

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!!

Thorpers Time Trial Day.

What a day we had at V718. An event billed as Yorkshires slowest 120 riders saw three of the newbies smash their personal bests by 2 to 3 minutes !

Andy Cal recorded a 22.28. Steve mcCall 22.41. John Callaghan 23.53, and Dave Sugden a 25 (with admittedly very little training this year).

Official results are still due but the times posted might not be slow enough for the slowest 120 next time. Chapeau to the men in green, allez le vert , Were Thorpers United !
