Stafford half-marathon

Thank you for all the messages of encouragement and support for last weekend's half-marathon. I really pushed it and got my second fastest time of 1:33:58

Here's me with about half-a-mile to go.

Now for some cycling!

Thanks again.

The training starts right here!

Hi Guy's,

I hope you are all fit and well.
May I suggest that we start training next Sunday, 6th March.
10am at the castle, having said that, I can't actually make next Sunday, but do go ahead without me!

Cheers Jackie x

Kick-off meeting

Hi Guys,

We have decided to cancel the initial meeting, as I think we all know the ropes now.

I will keep you all updated with what's happening.

Cheers Jackie


Two blokes and a blustery day

We were out on Sunday but blinkin' heck it was windy, the usual route to Birches Valley for a well-earned bacon baguette and the undulating off-road route back. About 30 miles for us in total.

Here we go again


Hi Guys

I'm back!!

May I wish you all a happy and healthy new year!

This is, no doubt, the first of many emails, about this years "Big Ride"
This years ride is to Barmouth and will take place on 9th July.
I have, with the help of Karen and Pete, organised a meeting on Saturday 19th February at the coffee shop,
at the Swan hotel and am also organising the first balti of the year, for the same night, to follow the meeting.
I will need to know numbers as soon as poss for this please.

I have also managed to sort some rooms at the Min Y Mor Hotel in Barmouth, where we stayed last time, for the ride night, I have coerced them in to providing a three course meal for us all, at 8.30pm.
I have reserved all their remaining rooms in my name, but you will have to book as soon as poss, as I don't think they will keep them for too long!

Each double or twin room is £80 per night B & B, there is also a family room with four single beds, if anyone wants to share, but not sure how much that one is?
They do have a web site, if you want to have a look and the phone number is 01341 280555.
Obviously you can find alternative accommodation, but the hotelier did say that places may be few and far between, as a lot of places don't want to let a room for just a Saturday night, in the height of the season.

We will be doing the once a month winter ride, on Sunday 6th Feb, we will meet at the castle at 10am as usual.
Can you let me know about the balti as soon as poss please.

Cheers Jackie x
