Girls go further

Sunday 8th April saw Jackie, Eunice, Becky and Kim go to the tea pot (Slade Lodge) covering 32 miles with Eunice doing 38, it was a hard ride where all got soaked, it was raining from the start, but it did clear up.

Then, Eunice, Kim and Lucy did 42 miles around Milwhich the following Friday, this too was very hard, but at least it didn't rain.

Girls rules OK

The girls seem to be showing the guys the way with their commitment to training this year!

Jackie, Eunice, Rebecca and Kim (and Pete tagged along) went to The Spider's Web at Cosford for the second week running, covering about 45 miles, then, Eunice, Kim and Rebecca did the additional 10 mile route out towards Tixall.

They're really are going to be leaving us behind in July. Just where to next I hear you ask.

There will be more training on Sunday at 10 o'clock.

Cheers

Training ride report for 25th March

Hi Guys.

The training is going really well, it was a beautiful day yesterday, we went to the Spiders Web, about 37 miles, although Eunice and Kim went the extra mile, or 18 miles to be exact and did 55 in all!!
For those of you that haven't made any yet, the training rides are every Sunday at 10am at the castle, please bear in mind that if you DO intend to do the big one this year, that it is the longest of them all and we will have to do lots of training if we want to get there before dark! :)

Brewood Cycle Challenge

Hi,

Last June, Paul, Eunice, Josh and Pete did Brewood 100K Cycle Challenge as one of the training ride.

It was well organised, directions were pretty clear, the route challenging at times and there was a great atmosphere. There were dozens of participants last time and you get something to eat at check points and at the end.

If anyone one would like to do this year's event it's on Saturday 9th June.

Info and entry details are online at:

More training

Hi Guys,

Just to let you all know that the training for this years ride has started, we are meeting at the castle every Sunday at 10am.

You are still welcome to join us on Sundays even if you're not doing the big one, the more the merrier!

We have some new recruits for this years ride, one of which would like to know if any of you have a bike to sell? Could you please let me know, thanks.

Can I stress to you, to do as much training as possible, as this is the longest ride of all, 127 miles and we will need to get a move on, just think about John Bishop and it wont seem so bad!!

Hope to see you on Sunday.

Cheers Jackie x
