the annual tour of the lanes which took place today was once again another huge success. around two dozen riders turned up at the swimming pool to take part in
chris's usual mystery tour of the local byways,others went ahead with their usual sunday run at 9 am and met up later. it was a glorious sunny
morning and the later start did'nt discourage anyone from turning out. many thanks to all of those who made the effort to support the run, hopefully it was an enjoyable
ride with time to chat for a change and not too many punctures this year.
of course no tour of the lanes would be complete without the obligitory bbq and a big thank you
to
harry and
audrey for a splendid days hospitality in a superb setting. everything was well organised,as usual, and anyone who did'nt get enough to eat or drink had only themselves to blame.
all together there were around forty odd, club members and partners/guests which made it all worthwhile. good to see everyone enjoying the craic and settling old scores about who beat who,where,when and what they are'nt going to do next year. a lot of talk was about the swapping of skinny tyres for fat ones and getting out and dirty for a while now.
again thanks to all that turned up today and remember the cycling does'nt stop now. us the forum and keep in touch for more days out.
pictures of the day should be on the website shortly
